THE MEDICINE SHOPPE PHARMACY REVIEWS

This place is great! Elijah is always so happy, friendly, and helpful it's less like picking up a prescription and more like visiting a friend! I recently went in to refill a prescription and although my federal health plan had changed providers, he had all the information on hand and was able to bill the new provider directly without me having to provide my updated details. He's awesome! If any of the 1 star reviews scare you off, look at who's posting them and draw your own conclusions.

This summer while in the line for the ferry my girlfriend from out of country had a slight medical emergency, we high tailed it to this pharmacy to get much needed medication. Elijah and his team were extremely accommodating and helpful to us. Elijah managed to see my girlfriend right away and prescribe her medication to clear this issue up. He was a life saver. Kind, professional and a good dude. Highly recommend. Thank you.

It is not often one feels compelled to write a google review for a pharmacy. Exceptional service. We stopped in here after the ferry just to check my mom’s blood pressure - Elijah was so kind, attentive and informative. The level of care he showed a complete stranger was just admirable. The world needs more pharmacists like this! Thank you, Elijah.

The best, I feel that a good pharmacist is as important as a good doctor. Elijah goes above and beyond, I cannot fully explain how important he and his staff have been but he is a very important part of a group of people who keep me mobile. - WW. Reply

Elijah is amazing. He has so much knowledge, is friendly, personable and always listens and takes a personal interest in his customers. He always makes you feel welcome, as does his staff. He has helped me with my health and I have total faith in him. - LR. Reply

PHARMASAVE THIRD STREET REVIEWS

Mr Singh, the pharmacist was professional and efficient. The receptionist was also friendly and professional receptionist. We were given sensible options as to the products we needed for our travel to Mexico with no pressure to buy products we did not need. We were also provided with a telephone appointment from a doctor for antibiotics which was very convenient as neither of us has a doctor in Nanaimo and we were saved a trip to Vancouver by speaking with the doctor over the phone. Thank you for a great service.

What a fantastic business! Recently called in and had same day pharmacy service by an amazing team at pharmasave. Professional and efficient these, folks deliver first rate knowledge and care. Amazing range of services and a HUGE can do attitude! Well done to the whole team!.
