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!!!”

“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.”

“The best hardware store in CT, Taylor, Jarrett and BJ do a phenomenal job, they have a wide variety of products and they are very knowledgeable. 10/10 recommend to anyone in the area”

“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!”

“Great experience at Sam’s Club. The staff were respectful, helpful, and the whole process was smooth and professional.

What I really appreciate is their flexibility—you can shop with a family member’s card (parents, siblings, etc.), which makes things much easier for families.

Unfortunately, this is very different from Costco, where they don’t allow you to shop even with your own father’s or spouse’s card. As the head of the family, that should be understandable, but they still refuse, which makes the experience frustrating.

Overall, I highly recommend Sam’s Club for their respectful service and customer-friendly approach.”

“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”

“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 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.”

“This past week I was trying to organize a lobster bake for the 4th of July down at the shore. Having called quite a few places it seemed Price Chopper had the best deal. My concern was that they would run out. I called and asked them if they would hold 20 lobsters for me. Initially on the first call they said they don’t hold lobsters however there should be plenty. I then hung up the phone and called back and asked them when a good time to come in and get said lobster would be. I was then told we could only get 6. Long story short there was a miscommunication amongst employees. However after speaking to the manger they promised me 20 since there was a misunderstanding. Long story short I got 20 lobsters and I can’t even begin to express my gratitude to Steve L. He went above and beyond to assist me. He was patient, friendly and so kind. He is an absolutely wonderful employee. Not only did he take the time to help with ice and packing but also helped me out to my car with the cooler full of lobsters. Steve L if you read this, I can not thank you enough for making my friends and families 4th of July celebration so amazing. You truly were the catalyst for making us all have such a special celebration and day. You deserve a raise, party and a celebration for your dedication and excellence in customer service at Price Chopper! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Shop Rite Pharmacists are so wonderful. They answer the phone, answer questions and have an attitude of total helpfulness. They go above and beyond when everyone else cannot even have the scripts filled on time! I feel like this is an escape from the robo driven menu optoons”

“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.”

“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!”

“I have been to this Price Chopper location a couple of times now. It is not as grand as something like Whole Foods, but it is convenient for those in Middletown-area.Upon coming in you are greeted on your left by the Sushi section, which is always nice and fresh. In my opinion, the best aspect of this supermarket. Nearby they have grab-and-go options like fried chicken and sandwiches. None of them are the freshest looking though and they have a lot of sodium. The salads here are average.The main section of the supermarket where you can get your traditional supermarket items like cereal, water, fruit, etc. is well-stocked and clean, which is nice.The checkouts usually move fast unless you come in the afternoon on a weekend. Otherwise, check is pretty quick and easy. There is also self-checkout options.The parking lot here is very large with plenty of parking, which is nice!Altogether, Price Chopper is your traditional supermarket, but the prices are good and the location is clean with a good variety of products.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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 ??”

“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.”

“Rosie is an absolute delight. I make it a point to do my food shopping on early friday mornings just because of her. No matter how my morning started her bright eyes and pleasant demeanor always perk me up and send me about my day in a positive mood.”

“great selection, courteous staff and conveniently located to me. I'lm closer to the Elmwood Store and not Far from Kane Street but prefer the Fenn Road. nice clientele with CCSU students and people from New Britain Newington and ever West Hartford. plus great flowers as I will buy my girlfriend her birthday flowers for 6/12 there”

“I have been getting medications for the past 7+ years and used several pharmacies. Stop and Shop Pharmacy is by far the best. The staff is always incredibly friendly and helpful and they even remember you after a couple of times. It's absolutely great!”

“Everyone I have met at this pharmacy in the last 18 months has been extremely helpful and courteous. I have two older dogs with conditions that require medications and Wal-Mart has the best prices. I went there 15 minutes before closing time last week and without concern for the time they did what needed to be done and filled my prescription for Duke.”

“I’ve been a customer for more than 5 years and their professionalism, integrity, and overall outstanding service will keep me coming back. Thank you S&S Kitts Lane Pharmacy!”

“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!)”

“I cannot explain in words how thankful I am to Sharnell as all her wonderful staff.
This is the best pharmacy in the world.
Don't make me feel like a drug seeker very understanding of all my illnesses..
I can call at any time if im in a rush for a medication I just noticed is out of refills.
I pray god continues. To bless every employee at this pharmacy im blessed to call my own.
It's like they are my family love them all.”

“The pharmacist at the pharmacy location inside Target in Newington is outstanding! He is professional, knowledgeable, kind and compassionate. He is always looking to help the customer save money on prescriptions which is immensely helpful considering the price of prescriptions today. I will never go anywhere else as long as he is employed at this location.”

“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!”

“Decided to come on here and give this Walgreens 5 stars because of what I witnessed the staff dealing with this morning. It wasn’t even 9am and there was a man yelling at the manager because he perceived a staff member was rude to him the other day. He demanded she “do something about it or I’m going to go to corporate.” The manager was so polite with him and he was being an absolutely vile human being towards her. If an employee was rude to him, I can only imagine why, he seems like such a joy to be around ? I just want to say that corporations should not be tolerating this behavior from customers. I wish the manager had the ability to kick the customer out for his hostile behavior but from what I know having worked in retail, she would’ve been chastised for that. Consumers: do better!!! How dare you speak to other people that way?! I was appalled and sad for them.”
