Pharmacies near Portland, CT

“I dont even live in Portland, and I come out here to enjoy the PHENOMENAL customer service and care that is displayed by both store associates and the pharmacy is run like a well-oiled machine, with equally Phenomenal people behind the counter there as well. The store is ALWAYS clean, and fully stocked; cant say enough about how wonderful this location is!! Whoever trained this store's employees should take a trip to the middletown location, where the customer service is non existent and the pharmacy is a crap-show. Portland Walgreens is AMAZING!!!! FULL STOP!!!”

“My wife and I recently moved to Higganum, CT and just now discovered Higganum Hardware. The owners, two brothers, Taylor and Jarrett, opened the store in fall 2021. While young, they are dedicated to customer service and a huge variety of everything from nuts and bolts to Ben Moore Paints, to equipment...a huge variety of quality hardware goods. I asked them, what encouraged them to open the store...the answer, We looked at what Higganum needed and did not have...a Hardware Store. While we believe in the saying SHOP LOCAL, you also want high quality products, good service and location close to where you live and or work. Higganum Hardware fits all three. Go in once, you will choose Higganum Hardware as your go to store again and again. Simply the Best as Tina would say. Julian”

“I am a disabled oxygen user and mostly home bound. They deliver meds to me. They are so helpful. So kind. They go out of their way to service their customers! God bless them all that work there.”

“Sam's is the best of all the clubs in my opinion. Meats are priced right and delicious. They have everything needed and if you need something they don't have just ask and they may add it to there store. I Love Sam's.Gas is the best price around, 3.19 without that extra 10 cents most all gas sellers scam you out of. 5 ⭐.”

“My family has switched from 2 major chain pharmacies to Nostrum. Excellent customer service, prescriptions are filled with only minutes wait (and usually no wait ), and personalized service. Now when I pick up my family prescriptions, there is no wait and no trouble getting my medications. They even offer home delivery!”

“WONDERFUL PEOPLE VERY COMPASSIONATE AND UNDERSTANDING ROCKY AND HIS WIFE ALWAYS HAS A SMILE WHEN YOU WALK-IN. THE BEST PHARMACIST IN TOWN. GOD BLESS YOU BOTH FOR YOUR KINDNESS. THE MALECKI’S”

“I am writing to thank April and Paul in the bakery department for all their help and hard work on December 31, 2023. I had placed and paid for an order approximately 2 weeks prior for 2 large trays of breakfast items for New Years Day. My plan was to just run in and pick the trays up. For whatever reason the order was never filled. April and Paul went to work immediately, as busy as they were, to fill the order very quickly for me. I appreciated they were able to do this since I was on a tight schedule with little time to spare. You both made it work. Again, thank you for all your help. Janet P”

“I went here to get checked for covid, because my provider from Starling Physician in New Britain wouldn't do it. I was dealing with another issue, but because of my sore throat, Starling was not willing to see me, until my results were clear.
I went to the clinic here in Rocky Hill. The nurse was very friendly. I went there when it was time for her lunch break, she was helpful. I put my info in the kiosk and waited until she was finished with her break. The experience with the nurse was positive. I definitely recommend this place.”

“Lost my card and the gas attendant was more than happy to help, and someone else's receipt was jammed and they didn't report it so I had to deal with it and he had to write me out a receipt with no problem. Nice person to talk to. He let me know that Sam's Club closes at 8pm that day, and the Sam's Gas Station closes at 9pm, as I asked was telling him now I gotta go get a card printed out. I don't know how I lost it, but he was helpful instead of me wasting more time. Many use that station so things will get worn especially the rubber wheels instead of silicone wheels as rubber is natural and deteriorates and becomes hard, and losses it's grip, especially subjected to the weather and temperatures.
I think Sam's Club is superb, but wish that these places you have to pay a membership for and I have the higher membership for the extra benefits. You can go in 2 hours earlier but not stay 2 hours later, or an hour later. Well those membership places must have their reasons. Probably because they can't be watching for customers when they are using forklifts, so in that way they are looking out for the customer by having a safety time. They must clean and stock before the next morning.
Though I wish there was a way they could stay open 24/7 & maybe 'Block' sections till done with a white board that says how long it would be till that roped, or guarded section will open, instead of keeping It closed between the time they close till open.
Walmart doesn't block sections but the pallets they wheel by hand do. They don't care about their customers only money, as if they didn't have enough. they don't have breaks really well as they pull a big load, and I have to watch out as they are told to rush. Glad you don't have to pay for a membership there but it reflects in them putting things in places with a tag you need a magnifier or smartphone to take pictures to read. Told then about it, went back another day and they still didn't change it. Even though they are open till 11pm I like Sam's much better. At least they have furniture you can rest on. It is a warehouse. They seem more comfortable that way don't you think ? ? ??? OH the Humanity!”

“They have been very understanding every time I come in to get my dog, Sabrina's medication. It is funny to have a new pharmacy tech when they ask for an ID for my dog until I let them know she's a dog. The seasoned pharmacist enjoys the interaction as much as I do. We just smile at each other and he reminds him it says canine.”

“I came here from Walgreens. Walgreens never had it ready,or they ran out of the medication . They have snippy ,arrogant attitudes.Walmart is the best Mike is awesome. No waiting for a flu shot no appointment required. What a relief that was!”

“New Cromwell resident. Came to Stop n Shop from Walgreens. Pharmacy transferred all our prescriptions (at least 20) same day. I have a medically complex child and 2 insurance companies. We are always changing meds. This requires many approvals. I have never had one complaint from the staff. They treat us like we are their only customer. Never received service like this before. It is so overwhelming with all the denials but I never have to do the work. They push for us until our meds are approved. Always greeted by 1st name, a Top notch Pharmacy!”

“After being given the runaround by CVS one time too many, I found myself looking for a new pharmacy. I feel like I hit the jackpot with Hancock's: friendly, personal service, and a local pharmacy that’s open late and on the weekends! Everyone I dealt with could not have been more friendly and accommodating! I had only switched to CVS because there’s only one local pharmacy left in Southington, and their hours are not compatible with my schedule. Hancock's isn’t the closest, as I live on the Berlin side of Southington, and they are on the Middlefield side of Meriden. Definitely worth the drive, however! I only wish they had electronic notifications to notify me when scripts are ready, but making a phone call before I head out is no big deal when the phone is actually answered by a live (and knowledgeable) human, instead of wading through endless recorded menus and waiting on hold for an eternity.”

“Everyone I have come across here is helpful and niceCalm atmosphere and a great place for vaccinesIt's a small pharmacy, but they have everything from toys, candy, some hardware items, hair products, medicine and all sorts of other thingsVery convenient if you are passing by on 81 toward Killingworth/interstate 9 entrances or Saybrook RoadOn a side note, there is an LQ across the street, two eateries which both close at Noon, both are great places to eat.There are two pizza places, a restaurant, Liberty Bank, post office and a local market”

“Having left the chain pharmacies which are just dire horrible places void of customer service , I was so pleased to find this oasis in a sea of mediocrity. I found the pharmacy staff to be extremely friendly and helpful and they actually answer the phone ??”

“Switched from cvs on west main to this place and let me tell you.. the staff is so friendly, they pick up the phone quickly and dont rush you. The delivery is so convenient. Thank you Arch street pharmacy!”

“I've been a customer at several big chain pharmacies hoping to find one with decent customer service with no avail! They were all the same. One day, I decided to switch to Hancock Pharmacy, and the service was surprisingly excellent! The employees are customer focused. They work with you to make sure your medications are filled on time every time. If there's a problem with your refill, they will guide you on how to proceed to solve the problem.
When you call, you get to speak to a pharmacy representative quickly. They call or text, and even both, to inform you that your medication is ready for pick up. You don't have to wait in line only to find out your medication isn't ready. As a matter of fact, there has never been a line, maybe one or two customers, the most. You never have to look at your watch. They address you as soon as you enter. They have the right formula, and they follow it.
The bottom line: you will not be disappointed and may find yourself less stressed.”

“Got the RSV vaccine in 3 minutes.Staff was funny, very professional, and a pleasure to talk to. They also give painless injections. (BTW,the RSV shot had zero pain the next day!)”

“Shout out to Ashley and Amanda. Both went over and above with customer service. Placed an online order, supposed to be delivered by DoorDash and DoorDash dropped the ball.... BIG TIME. Maybe DoorDash should hire more employees like Ashley and Amanda.”

“So I recently moved in the area and I've tried out stop & shop first I know I want to ShopRite a couple of times. I'm a couple times that I've gone to ShopRite I absolutely had the best time shopping. I am disabled so I rely on those motorized carts. So I have never had any problems for getting one that works.The staff there is awesome !!”
