The State of Ohio Board of Pharmacy 77 South High Street, Columbus, OH 43215

"Told me 30 days tops to process my application I’m still waiting over 90 days in waiting. Pretty sure I lost my job because of how long they’re taking."

"For Public Safety Shut Down Harvest of Ohio Now. Public Records of Current Defendant Ariane Kirkpatrick / Harvest of Ohio Court case for "23 Million in Default Loans / Unpaid Interest". Prior Board of Pharmacy Dept of Commerce investigation declared Harvest "Committed Fraud & Deception" yet still allowed to Open, omg"

"An outpouring of bad reviews for many reasons for this state pharmacy board; and to ADD to the bad morales and ethics of this board: they left me standing with NO work after messing up my licensing. All rules were followed by both me & my employer yet I showed up to work and they said it wasn't finalized by the board. This was my only source of income. I called, emailed, talked to the receptionist and no response. I would be embarrassed to work here due to the lack of ethics."

"I believe the Ohio Pharmacy Board started with good intentions as do most regulatory bodies. Unfortunately, they seem to have fallen victim to the same pit falls that so many regulatory bodies do. They have created redundancies, unnecessary steps in the application process, unnecessary and irrelevant requests for documentation. They have a great deal of confusion amongst their staff. They have no real educational presence but claim to be an entity that wants everyone to be safe and that they help in that process. If fining organizations monetarily is deemed the same thing as education, then perhaps I am not well versed in what education truly is. Education should precede penalty, not follow penalty. Penalty should never be used for generating revenue. Essentially the Pharmacy Board is the equivalent of traffic cameras in small cities. There is a line in a John Cougar song that I'd like to share with all inspectors and field agents within the Pharmacy Board, "Calling it your job don't make it right". I would challenge the Pharmacy Board to reevaluate their mission statement and ask these basic questions: • "Are we here to make Ohio safer?" • "If so, is it better to do so through education rather than through penalty?” • "Is our mission to close small business and increase the footprint of big corporations, or is it to support small businesses through education and stronger tools of communication?" Look inward Ohio Pharmacy Board and ask yourselves what you can do to be a more productive and proactive organization instead of the town bully."

"There were over 60 reviews the other day with people upset with this corrupted government agency. Then the next day it was down to 27. My review and many others are gone. It is very difficult to remove google reviews and this just confirms the shadiness going on. I hope the voices of Ohio citizens will be heard. No one is in support of this agencies actions except them and their employer big pharma. I'm sorry, but it is very disgusting. I hope things straighten up. If they do, I am more than happy to change this to a 5 star. Until then, a one star is my honest opinion and the same opinion of MANY whose reviews have mysteriously disappeared..."
