"Having only just discovered this pharmacy/walk in clinic a few days ago, I have to say that I am extremely pleased with everything these fine people did for me. Being on a wait list for a new doctor, (...) literally minutes later I had my prescription and was on my way. There are still people who treat you with kindness and empathy. Much respect."
Alexander James (Google Review)
"I switched to Guardian pharmacy because someone told me their customer service is amazing.
This is the best pharmacy I have ever dealt with. The pharmacist has some of the best customer service. He was so friendly and acted like he has known me for years. He sounds like he really cares. The original girl (Amber?) who answered the phone and took my initial information was also extremely nice and called me back promptly. The pharmacy delivered to my house for free, (...) I had Guardian switch my prescription from Costco, setup my account and deliver my prescription to my house all in a couple of hours. Incredible service!!!!"
