“the staff at Boyd's are the most compassionate I've encountered in any pharmacy I've used in the HRM. they learn your name, they get excited to see your pets and genuinely listen to you when you are explaining your needs. I've recommended them to multiple friends who were looking to switch and they have all said how happy they are with the service.”
“Excellent service. I take brukinsa for my cancer and each time a refill is required you call me and send out soon as this is done. Always on time,friendly and courteous. Great service”
“First pharmacy of you since leaving the Lacewood pharmacy the convenience is so much better. When you show up, they actually have your prescription ready and the number of tablets in the bottle that should be there. The staff are very courteous and nice and provide a wonderful environment. I recommend everybody go here.”
“Jamie, the Pharmacist here, was extremely pleasant and great to deal with! I came for my yearly flu shot and such, and never even knew about the place, and it makes me wonder why I never found this little gem before! I highly recommend coming here for services if you are close by as opposed to the other conglomerates down (and up?) the road for personalized service where your pharmacy team will know your name.”
“The Pharmacy does a fantastic job keeping up with my medication orders and changes. They also take the time to explain when I get new medications and answer any questions that I have. The staff are also friendly and knowledgeable.”
“Pharmasave North End has been my pharmacist now 6 years. I have received my flu shots and COVID shots by their team.Erica has been a great source of knowledge. She is very informed and up to date on medications and the way they interact with each other. She is easy to approach and ask questions.”
“Today I had the pleasure of meeting Trey, a pharmacist who truly went above and beyond in helping me! I had come in after being without my prescription for a week, and in a rush. And although she didn’t have the right prescription in stock, Trey immediately arranged for the other pharmacy on Quinpool to have it ready (which is also an amazing pharmacy btw!). She even went so far as to CLOSE up her shop temporarily and gave me a RIDE to the other pharmacy, knowing I was in between classes and short on time. Despite being super busy and working all alone, Trey’s kindness and eagerness was truly appreciated! This was easily one of the most genuine and compassionate interactions I’ve ever had with another person and especially with a healthcare professional. I also have friends who have only amazing things to say about her and this pharmacy. Thank you so much, Trey! I highly recommend her, this pharmacy, and the one on Quinpool to anyone needing pharmacy services!”
“I switched to this pharmacy a couple of years ago after discovering that they offered medication delivery, and I’m so glad I did. It has genuinely been one of the best pharmacy experiences I’ve ever had. They are incredibly efficient and reliable. Whenever they receive one of my prescriptions, they contact me right away and keep me updated once it has been filled and is out for delivery. The entire process is consistently seamless. What really stands out, though, is the staff. Everyone I’ve dealt with has been knowledgeable, informative, patient, and genuinely helpful. That level of service deserves to be recognized. I can’t recommend this pharmacy highly enough. If you’re looking for a pharmacy that is dependable, efficient, and truly seems to care about its customers, this is the one.”
“Staff is amazing and understanding, very tolerable when dealing with upset customers and knowledgeable and Im sure just like most jobs in NS that the staff there is overworked and underpaid but that being said, I don't know anyone there on a personal level so I have no idea what the workers there are paid and have no idea how much money they make, but from a person who knows that look on ones face and look in their eyes, point is, they just need some respect never be afraid to tell them thanks and give them a tip”
“A lot of bread meat and but the bacon has a lot of fat and it's really expensive you can get cheaper meat at gateway in in Dartmouth and there is a lot of trail mix”
“My prescription was messed up by an Ontario pharmacy. They told me I would be able to get it in Nova Scotia, but that was false. Alvin went above and beyond to contact the Ontario pharmacy, confirm they were wrong and then helped me set up an in-person assessment. Another Asian lady called and helped me set up my profile, add my insurance, and she was amazing. Dr. Sayeh completed the assessment and applied a brand discount for me. The team then processed my medication the same day. This all happened in less than 24 hours and in the middle of school. So I was pretty stressed, but the team went above and beyond to help me sort everything out. Honestly, amazing people doing their jobs and genuinely helping the public. Really appreciated everything they did.”
“Amazing experience, even better than expected! Even contacted my benefits for my and I had no out of pocket cost though expecting to pay entirely up front for reimbursement. Super friendly, lighthearted, helpful staff and as a nurse I felt like a kid in a candy store looking at all of the supplies. Highly recommended.”
“I swear by this drug store! The staff is super friendly and they will help you in every way they can. On top of that they know your name, that’s a big one for me!”
“Clean, quiet,well stocked,lots of room for power chair, well informed staff,most are very friendly.Great pharmacy administrators,a home delivery . Good customer service and support.”
“Absolutely the best pharmacy I’ve ever dealt with and I’m in my seventies. Quick turnarounds for prescriptions and fast friendly service at the counter. They will call when your prescription is ready and will offer advice on meds and insurance coverage.”
“I go to this place very often the store is very organized and I find it very easy to find thing here. They often have really good deals like the other day they had big packs of smore's kits for around 4$.”
“Been going there for approximately 33 years and every interaction has been exceptional… positive, professional, and most importantly very friendly… everyone knows me by name as I know all of them by name… if you want a good pharmacy this is the best in HRM”
“I haven't used the pharmacy services at this location, but it's an excellent corner store. There's an eclectic selection of items: a full aisle of toys, games, and puzzles; a small selection of rugs; mobility aids and other pharmacy-standard fare; makeup; some home goods and toiletries; milk and eggs. I appreciate that there's a little bit of everything and lots of unexpected treasures. The flyer often has good sales as well - definitely worth checking out.”
“Denise and Terry in the home health care section were super helpful. I fell while visiting Halifax, injured my leg and needed an air cast as a result. They were great fitting me and getting what I needed. Store was very well stocked with all types of mobility aids. I highly recommend them and this Lawtons location.”
“Switched 6 months ago from Shoppers on Lacewood after they had continuously given me other people's medications / given me the incorrect amounts of medications at almost every visit, Costco has been great, much faster, lower prices and people have been very friendly and helpful.”
“Great for getting store bought braces and other home health care needs. Patient and helpful staff. Can access compounded medications through this pharmacy. There are still NOT a lot of pharmacies, within Metro or even Nova Scotia, with whom you can get a compounded medication, such as Thyroid, if you are unable to tolerate taking the usual medications such as Synthroid etc. For many years I had to get my medication from Ford Pharmacy in Moncton through the mail or by the bus.”
“Craig and his team are amazing, in these days where good customer service is on the decline they often go above and beyond to help their customers, truly grateful for them”
“This location is so quiet which is good but they don't have much variety like their other locations. it's really close to my home but sadly they don't have much makeup stuff and lipsticks shades which i use so i always have to go to other stores which are far away.”
“I've had a completely different experience than many of the reviews I've read here. As someone who worked in the plaza, I know firsthand that theft and aggressive customer incidents happen far more often than most people realize; sometimes almost weekly. There were many occasions where staff in the plaza were placed in uncomfortable or even dangerous situations. Because of that, I completely understand why Lawtons has hired security. They're there not only to protect the store's assets, but also the employees and customers. As for the pharmacy itself, I've always had excellent service. The pharmacists and pharmacy staff are knowledgeable, patient, and always take the time to answer my questions. There have been a few occasions where my medication wasn't fully in stock, but they've always ordered it quickly and made sure I received the remainder as soon as possible. I also appreciate the text and phone notifications that keep me updated every step of the way. The front-end staff are absolutely wonderful. They're friendly, kind, and always ask how your day is going, which makes every visit feel more personal. The woman who works in the beauty department is especially lovely; she's always happy to chat, and that genuine customer service is something you don't come across very often anymore. They've also extended their hours, and they're now open until 9 p.m. on most evenings, which has made the store much more convenient for those of us who can't get there during the day. Overall, my experiences at Lawtons Spryfield have been consistently positive. The staff work hard, provide excellent customer service, and deserve credit for doing their jobs while dealing with challenges that many customers never see. I'd happily recommend this location.”
“The staff at Sobey's Pharmacy Spryfield are incredibly competent, efficient, kind, and inclusive... whether a pandemic is happening or not, they amaze me by going above and beyond. I am grateful for their hard work. I can't imagine a better pharmacy. Thank you!”
“Emmerson in cosmetics was absolutely lovely this afternoon. Very kind and friendly. She needs a promotion for her professionalism and gentle manner. However, the cosmetics manager never smiles at all, and to me, aren’t you supposed to lead by example especially being in a managerial role?”
“This pharmacy has two people who are really good at looking after clients. Taylor and Robert are very kind and polite. Both are always so helpful. All the staff including pharmacists at this location are very professional and knowledgeable along with the rest of the staff. Thank you for having Taylor and Robert at this location.
