This place would be a 5 star review if it weren't for the older blond lady pharmacist. She is judgemental about ppl being on pain meds and will even talk with your Dr about removing you from your medication. She is rude to the ppl who use meds that she deams unnecessary; such as pain meds. She shouldn't deal with the public because she will ruin a drug store reputation.

The pharmacy I regularly use refused to give my 6 year old son the covid shot last night. She said "I'm not equipped to deal with this. Children like him need to go to somewhere else. I'm just a pharmacist."
This is after she spent 10 minutes trying to convince him that it's better than the flu shot, telling him how big the needle is, how it's going to hurt but just a little. She used her finger to jab him in the arm a few times. I guess to try to get him used to it???? He didn't like that (who would?).
He has autism and doesn't yet grasp what vaccines are, he only understands that they hurt. After the 10 minute conversation with him, she came back in the room, showed him the needle and he started to scream. I had him in a bear hug, ready to hold him still. Her, needle in hand, says she's not vaccinating him, that other children are waiting and we needed to leave.
She wouldn't vaccinate him because "children like him" need to go somewhere else. I'm not autistic but I still freaked out about shots when I was a kid. I can't imagine that most kids are calm when they get a shot.
Friday was one of those moments where I am shown my son is different. People treat him differently and it makes life harder than it should be. Less than 5 seconds was all I needed from her. She had the syringe in her hand when she told us to leave. We waited a month for this appointment.
ETA:
I called the pharmacy three days later and I was speaking to someone about transferring our prescriptions to another pharmacy. The pharmacist got on the phone just to argue with me about what happened as if I would forget something like that. So not only does she discriminate against the disabled but she goes the extra step to gaslight her victims.
DON'T GO HERE!!!
