Reviews
"Honestly there is always drama there, avoid at all cost. It’s definitely not like it use to be, staff there need to learn what customer service , compassion and empathy is let alone when people are extremely sick."
"I wouldn’t recommend using for passport photo’s especially for toddlers. They use a small room (like a closet) that made my son anxious. They also didn’t offer a stool to limit him being able to move about and they used a Sony cybershot like camera that produced a photo of terrible quality. They did offer to be able to show the receipt for a free re-take if the photo was declined but I didn’t use this because I just couldn’t trust that their little camera would be able to take a sufficient photo in conjunction with the room set up not aiding a toddler to stay still enough. I got the new photo done at Life Pharmacy in Chartwell which was accepted on the first attempt."
"I needed a prescription filled but since our medical centre was closed for the holidays I could not get it. I told the assistant at unichem I couldn't get a repeat because of the Xmas break, She said no problem as I am a regular customer and gave it on the condition that soon as the medical centre opens I get them to fax it to them. 10/10 for a great team of workers."
"Phoned on Tuesday to order blister packs. Told they would be ready Friday after explaining I would be away on the date they were due to be issued. I waited in a queue stretching to the door, only to be told the blister packs had not been done. I had to explain again what I had told the man on the phone. Staff member was rude and dismissive, with the pharmacist, who had been serving at the counter moments earlier, suddenly being "snowed under" and "too busy." She may want to consider where she postitions herself before she has a laugh at a customer's expense. I have had ongoing issues when calling for prescriptions. Excuses have varied, but the common one appears to be a constant turnover of staff. Four days notice was more than enough time to prepare my prescription, and there was no excuse for the rudeness. I see from reading other reviews that my experiences are not unique. I suggest that Green Cross Health, who own the Unichem brand, have a good look at this pharmacy."
"There is always a problem with prescriptions and wait times are insane. Cant find prescription that was sent yesterday. Had to print it. Half hour wait? No thanks. Come back the next day. One person serving. More waiting. Take so long to find the package. Ah, it's in the area for big bags. Looks like there are 3 places to look, all organized by letter. Much digging through boxes. Honestly, I'll be going somewhere that charges and can get an easy pickup done in less than half an hour. Shame, because the people are great. They need a system. It's not hard."
