In patients' words
"Worst pharmacy I've ever dealt with. They got a prescription FROM MY PSYCHIATRIST and apparently need to call him AGAIN (when his office is closed) to confirm SOMETHING THEY ALREADY SHOULD HAVE AN EXPLANATION AND APPROVAL FROM MY PSYCHIATRIST FOR?"
— Birdeye reviewer"Talked to Mary on the phone and she was really sweet! Answered all my questions, was very polite, patient and made an effort to help."
