“I felt the need to leave my own review in an attempt to provide a counter to all the less positive reviews here. This pharmacy fields a vast number of prescriptions from the local Eden surgeries, who have pushed their in-house dispensing service to a community pharmacy. The result of this is that this pharmacy handles a volume of prescriptions which is vastly more than the pharmacy has the size or capacity to manage, but manage they do. For those of you that go in there, take a look around- every inch of space is filled with filled prescriptions waiting for collection, or stock waiting to go into bags. Hundreds of new prescriptions turn up every day, and the staff do their absolute best to fill these as quickly as they can. Instead of moaning, complaining and sometimes even shouting at them for what is really the shortcoming of the local GP practice, which will not magically make your prescription appear any faster, show some grace, patience and gratitude for the harried people who are overwhelmed at times by the volume of demand but still do their absolute best to provide a much needed service to the local community. They're doing their best for you and I have always found this pharmacy and its people to be patient, polite and helpful.”
