“I would drive further just to go to this location solely based on the experience I had with the pharmacist Orsala. I drove over an hour away to come here because they were one of the last who had my medication in stock that day. The pharmacist understood my bit of panic and was so sweet! While I waited for my prescription she greeted every customer in line by name as if they were old friends and was incredibly personable. Thanks for an amazing experience Orsala! Besides her outstanding service, I recently discovered GoodRX (years too late) Stop & Shop has the best price for my medication by far; I could have been saving hundreds every month.”
“Nayelis and Samira were SO HELPFUL w/ my RX issue. I’m so grateful for them taking the time to understand my issue and fix it so I didn’t have to wait even longer and having to skip another dose. I had a 90 day supply prescription from my DR, it was out of stock so I went to Wethersfield and they could only fill a 30 day supply. When I tried to reorder, it again wasn’t available but I was told they were going to fill my 90 day supply Thursday. When I called the Berlin location on Thursday they said the RX was closed out by the other pharmacy and couldn’t do anything for me and I’d need to call my DR. They told me the pharmacy would need to request it from them. When I went to pick up another prescription (Berlin), Nayelis was there and she is ALWAYS so pleasant with a smile on her face. They took a good amount of time to help me and was able to give me a 30 day supply which was a welcomed surprise that they had it in stock. It is rare to find helpful caring people these days. THANK YOU AGAIN Nayelis and Samira. I appreciate you both for helping me that day and Nayelis your smiles and kindness at the drive thru have changed my mood for the better when I was having a bad day. Keep spreading your kindness.”
“I’ve been using this pharmacy regularly and have had a consistently good experience. The staff are friendly and professional, and they always greet you promptly when you walk in. The pharmacy is well organized, and prescriptions are handled efficiently—there’s usually clear communication about processing times, whether it’s ready right away or when you should come back. What I appreciate most is the helpfulness of the team. They take the time to answer questions about prescriptions, explain common instructions in a clear way, and make sure I understand how to take my medication. They’re also attentive when it comes to refills and coordinating with doctors or checking details to avoid mistakes. If something isn’t immediately available, they let you know options and next steps without unnecessary delays. The service feels dependable, and the overall atmosphere is calm and organized. They also handle over-the-counter questions well whether I’m looking for advice on basic health needs, store-brand alternatives, or guidance on common products, I feel comfortable asking. Overall, this is a reliable local pharmacy with excellent customer service, quick and accurate prescription handling, and staff who genuinely seem to care about getting you what you need. I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a dependable place for prescriptions and everyday health items.”
