Some examples of outstanding care by a pharmacist:
“My pharmacist knows my first name and is willing to go the extra mile to make sure my prescription is safe/correct (such as contacting my doctor right away to correct an error or change to a more suitable medication). He communicates clearly and actively listens to me and seems to really care about my questions and takes the time to research he doesn’t know off-hand.”
“Getting the flu shot was really easy this year. Even though my children were extremely nervous to get the flu shot, my pharmacist made the process quick and easy! She joked with my children and provided distractions during the shot. She explained what was going on every step of the way. She spoke to them like people as opposed to speaking over them to me. Overall, my pharmacist made the process non-threatening and my children look forward to seeing her next time we are in.”
“I feel like my pharmacist makes me top priority and as a senior, I feel well cared for. She knows my medical history well.”
