Very dirty , guy out the back is not very helpful and got prescription wrong , luckily we noticed.
Much better chemist just down the road !!!
The Pharmacist Yatin and his team have always been so helpful and go beyond and above. Well stocked medication, and they always pick up their phone! :) Thank you!!
My absolute favourite chemist. Always polite and engaging. Never had an incident of rudeness only politeness and sorted my prescription out after boots had made a right mess of it. Very helpful and will never use another chemist. ????
I can’t recommend this place. The shop isn’t the cleanest, every time I’ve been in, the pharmacist has been having loud conversations with his colleague about another customer’s prescription. I went in for the pharmacy strength Lemsip, they didn’t have any or anything similar. When I went in to try and pick up Lateral Flow tests, I got some rude attitude, asking whether I was registered with them (what does that even mean?) and when I said no, I was told that I should go to the pharmacy I use for my prescriptions. I don’t use a pharmacy for prescriptions and that advice isn’t even NHS policy. I got the impression he didn’t want to serve me (otherwise why ask all the questions? Just say there’s none left). I understand tests are in short supply but there’s no need for that rudeness. They should take down the multiple signs in the window and in the store advertising lateral flow tests, if they don’t want to give them out.
I called to ask if they had any lateral flow tests and the lady said yes. I went straight there and saw someone leaving with one box. The chemist asked me for a prescription (??!!) And asked me why I hadn't gone to my usual chemist. (My usual chemist had none left). He said they didn't have any (despite I was told they did only minutes earlier) and he'd call me when they had some.i never heard back.
I get the impression they keep them for regular "customers". I'm clinically vulnerable. Not impressed with them at all. Poor.
I have been getting my prescriptions there for many years since Boots in Town always messes it up. Always in stock and the staff are very polite. The pharmacist man knows what hes talking about and gives good advice.
Yes the shop is rundown messy I would usually downgrade my review for this but the people that work there make up for it, I was turned down by every chemist in my area due to controlled drugs I need to drive half an hour out the way to collect which is insane, chemists actually get cash incentives to issue my medication but no other pharmacy cares so I want to say a big thankyou for the townsend dispensing chemist, one thing I definitely don't like is the Saturday closing time but it is what it is,
I had a wanderful experience with this pharmacy today. Yatan the director is the most professional and kind pharmacist I encountered in this country. He promptly prepared with really short notice today before long bank holiday weekend my ongoing medication after a really busy week when I should have requested in advance the repeat prescription for my medicines.
What an amazing and professional person. The first non corporate chemist I rate 5 stars
THANK Y YATAN
