“I use their pharmacy. They always have my prescriptions ready on time. Their service is great they always serve you with a smile and are happy to do anything for you they go above and beyond what's needed to make you happy!”
“I have been a patient at Towncrest Apothecary since they opened. In those years, the staff has helped me with numerous things. They fill a compounded medication for me. Aaron has recommended over the counter medications that have improved my health. Notably, I take Tumeric which has vastly improved my gastrointestinal system; I can eat foods that I have never tolerated before. Aaron also has advised me on the most effective calcium to take for osteoporosis.
I have tried other OTCs with varying degrees of success. All products that the apothecary sells are fully guaranteed. If something doesn't work for me, I return it and the full cost is refunded. If one OTC doesn't work, Aaron tries another one. If it doesn't work, my money is returned.
The best thing about the apothecary is the consultation. Aaron and the other pharmacists know me and are very generous with their time in answering my questions. My best example is the process I am currently undertaking to get off Aprazolam (generic for Xanax). A doctor prescribed it years ago for sleeping. I have wanted to stop taking it as I have learned about the negative side effects. Aaron has educated me over the past few months about how to taper off the medication and the side effects of doing so. I began taking half a dose in June and have continued to taper off by half until now (early December). I should be completely off the medication by the end of December. The side effects have been challenging at times, but with Aaron, Austin, and Matt's advice and encouragement I am making good progress. I could not have done this without the education and support of these knowledgeable, compassionate pharmacists. I am grateful to have found them and Towncrest Apothecary.”
“Kyra helped me in cosmetics and she was AMAZING! She helped me with a new foundation and gave me some tips on how to use it, as well as some other brand recommendations. Definitely don't let her get away!”
“Small but efficient. I like that I didn't have to wait literally 25 minutes on hold to speak to someone like I had to for Walgreens. Seems like it caters primarily to the elderly but if you need wrist, hand, knee, or other various braces, this would be a good place to go especially.”
“I’ve recently moved to this area and chose CVS because it’s close by. I’ve found every pharmacist, tech, and associate to be pleasant, attentive, and knowledgeable.”
“Always efficient and friendly. The prices are great for me too. When I was on a plan that didn't cover much of an expensive medication, they looked for a coupon for me on GoodRX and that made a huge difference.”

“Last Saturday, I found the CVS down the street to be exceptionally clean and the help were friendly as usual. Found everything that I wanted to find and was able to check out quickly.”
“During COVID they were under-staffed and over-loaded. For whatever reason (I think because there was a lack of Pharmacy students to fill the lower-tier positions), this situation lasted until long after most businesses had recovered.
But they *have* recovered! Back to being speedy, reliable, convenient, and informative. They were great for about a decade, then COVID, and now back to being great.
Hyvee on a bad day is better than Walgreens or CVS on a good day.”
“Hartig drug is the best little corner store! It serves as my pharmacy, flower shop, and post office. It also has the best beer and wine selections round. The staff is also very friendly and accommodating.”
“I frequently use this Walgreens store for my pharmaceutical needs. I sometimes go inside and other times, I use their 24 hr Pharmacy Drive-Thru. I have always been very satisfied with this Walgreens and their service as well as their wide selection of merchandise inside their store. This time, I went inside the store to wait in line at the pharmacy, to pickup my medicine. I used the restroom and it was average. The store was very clean. The pharmacist that helped me was a very kind and knowledgeable gentleman. Overall, great experience!”
“Hyvee Grill is open, Yes Please!!! I stopped here for lunch today and had a burger, bag of popcorn, and a drink for $5.50. Can't beat that deal! So delicious.”

“I worked with the store manager to assist me as I wasn't able to get my members card to work. He was happy to assist and took time out to make sure my experience was a great one!!”
“I haven't had Hyvee breakfast in forever! Yesterday, I stopped in with my youngest daughter so we could eat/hangout between basketball games. I had a veggie skillet with added sausage. The breakfast was just as good as I remembered and staff was awesome!”
“Walgreens is a good drugstore with a wide variety of goods ranging from prescription and otc medications, personal care products, food and drink, office supplies, baby supplies, toys, cards and gift wrap, clothing, and more. I have ordered from the walgreens photo counter several times and have been very pleased with the experience, it was fast, simple, and I got great quality pictures. Walgreens has struggled to keep their baby formula in stock amidst this shortage, with bare shelves every time I visit. Walgreens is a bit overpriced in my opinion, but not enough to stop me from going there. Walgreens is always clean but there is usually a wait to check out with only 2 registers at the front. They have recently added new shelving and coolers around the cash registers with tons of last minute grabs.”
“I came in to print out photos for my dad’s celebration of life, I was a complete grieving mess. My brain was not functioning and I had no idea what I was doing at the photo kiosk. The shift lead (I assume) took his time walking me through everything on the kiosk and was extremely understanding of what a mess I was, and the mistake I was making at the kiosk. In the end I was surprised to find out that he had paid for my photos! The man on register was also very kind and sympathetic. I can’t speak for anyone else at that Walgreens but those two really went above and beyond with me.”
“The store offers so much more than the pharmacy, but the pharmacy staff are great! The are informative and patient. Moving from GA to IA has been nothing but an extraordinary experience!”
