There’s really just nothing like having a local home town pharmacy to count on. Many people worry about prescription health care. We absolutely never worry about rx issues with Blythewood pharmacy. Always on top of everything. Very Grateful for these folks!!

Update: 12/22/23And here I thought I'd found a different place than all the chains or nail orders...NOPE! Called at 3 or 3:30 pm asking about a prescription I'd been trying to get for over a week & the doctor had to cancel at Mail order due to their issues. "Oh yeah, we have the scripts & meds...give us an hour & we'll have them ready for pick up!"2 hours later: yeah, your doctor needs to call us & say it's okay to sell them to you, but it's after 5 pm now on a holiday weekend so you're out of luck, so sorry...(THAT'S WHY I CALLED 3 HOURS BEFORE!)No better than chain stores & less reliable than ANY pharmacy I've ever worked in or had the displeasure of being a patient.But I don't need any meds over the holiday that I've been working to get transferred for 2 weeks & been out of for a week.Sure, you can enjoy YOUR holiday...no need for me to rry & enjoy mine!Lacy, the Pharmacist, was extremely friendly, patient, & kind when I had some questions about my medication & the pharmacy. This was my first time using any type of local/community-owned pharmacy vs a big box chain. I was pleasantly surprised & pleased at the kindness & judgment-free answers I received along with the knowledgeable & thorough information regarding my new medication. Ms. Lacy put my mind at ease regarding my new medication change, especially knowing my med history & health history! I will be recommending Blythewood Pharmacy for any & all medication needs from here on out!

I always got my medications from here because they are local. they would sometimes tell me my prescriptions were filled but I would get there and they would not be which was somewhat annoying because I would have to wait. When I needed refills I would usually have to end up calling my doctor even though they said they would fax asking for a refill (I don’t know if that was on the doctor or if Blythewood never did it) but it also was annoying. This one lady at the checkout was rude usually but she didn’t work all the time and everyone else was nice.

I was hesitant to leave this review, but felt people who use this pharmacy and may be considering using it needed to be aware of how one of its pharmacists interacts with customers. I’ve been a customer of various pharmacies throughout my life and have never experienced the unprofessionalism that I did yesterday (August 12).My primary pharmacy could no longer dispense a three-month supply of a medication because of a change in store policy. They suggested I check with other pharmacies to see if it was possible through someone else. The first pharmacy I reached out to was the Blythewood Pharmacy because I knew they had dispensed this medication in three-month supplies in the past.I called the pharmacy on multiple occasions but each time, the lead compounding pharmacist was not available and she was the person who needed to answer my question. Initially, I was told she would call me but to call back if she didn't. I never received a call from the compounding pharmacist so told to do, I called back and wound up speaking to the same person who advised me initially. She said she would have thought the lead person would have contacted me by now. She gave me some information about her discussion with the pharmacist but told me it would be best if I talked with her directly. She said she would ask her to call me again but to call back if I hadn't heard anything. Once again, I never received a call. So as told to do, I called back and was told she wasn't there again. This time, the pharmacist (not in the compounding lab) asked to help me but ultimately said I needed to speak with the person I've been trying to reach. She even gave me her next day working (Fri, Aug 12) and told me the hours to call back. (The two people I spoke with above were extremely polite and professional. I very much appreciated their efforts to help.)Friday, August 12: Because of an appointment that morning, I wasn’t able to call right away. But I did get a text message from “Blythewood Pharmacy” at 11 AM stating that they didn’t have the medication I was requesting. I wasn’t sure who sent the text since no name was attached, but for me, that was basically all I needed to know. However, the message continued with this line: “Please do not reach out to us about this in the future.” I was confused and a little taken aback by this message. I was thinking maybe it was something that maybe had been mistyped or misinterpreted by a voice-to-text translation. Regardless I didn’t feel comfortable with the message and I wanted clarification. So I called the pharmacy and they transferred me to the head compounding pharmacist (mind you, this is the FIRST time I ever talked with her). I told her my name and was about to ask for clarification about the text, when she interrupted me, stating something along these lines: “We do not have your medication. You have continued to call the pharmacy over and over. We will not do anything to help you. Do not call here again.” And before I could even say anything, she hung up on me.This whole exchange stayed with me throughout the day. I’ve never been spoken to this way by anyone from a pharmacy or actually anyone who is supposed to provide services to customers. It was rude, unprofessional and something I will be reporting to the BBB. No one else needs to deal with this kind of a response or behavior.I honestly was frustrated by the lack of communication and answers about my initial request from the pharmacy and was about to give up calling, but everyone seemed helpful and told me to call back – so I did. And it all paid off with an inappropriate text and call – and being hung up on. Do yourself a favor and avoid this happening to you. I would strongly recommend not using this pharmacy if you have to interact with this person in the compounding department.

If u are a person that BELIEVES in Covid_19 prevention THIS IS NOT THE PLACE TO GO TO...as a mature, older woman with underlying health issues.THIS PLACE WILL NOT GIVE U A BOOSTER...they will LIE and say they have no booster vaccinations...even though we were vaccinated from this SAME PHARMACY...where they F----d up at is my family ARE POLITICIANS with portraits in the city and county courthouses....my last conversation was recorded....so if u practice Covid_19 precautions, THIS IS NOT THE PLACE TO VI6..report them to the CDC as they will NOT give booster shots, they will tell u they have no boosters..they wont "booster" uStay woke people.

This past Monday I went to my regular pharmacy to get a refill on a prescription only to find out I didn’t have one on file. They had been trying to reach SCOA to fill it but had not heard back yet. We were heading to the lake so my son, Dr. Matthew Dunkin a pharmacist with Prisma, told me to take my prescription bottle to Blythewood pharmacy and they could get me an emergency supply till the prescription came in. I am a breast cancer fighter and this was a medicine I have to take daily. I told the young lady who came to my car my situation through my tears and she said she would be right back. She came back and said the pharmacist had to have a paper prescription to do anything and I should go to an urgent care to get them to write one for me. Did y’all not see where our governor stated that during this time of crisis we could get emergency refills on prescriptions. I just needed a little help from you and your pharmacy. I GOT NONE!!!!!!! As I sat in your parking spot shaking and crying I called my son who was appalled by the way I had been treated by a fellow pharmacist. He took me to Kroger on Killian and within minutes I had my 7 pills that THEY GLADLY FILLED FOR ME. Even wondered out loud why y’all couldn’t have done the same thing. I love Blythewood and frequent many of your great merchants however yours will not ever be one of them again! You ought to be ashamed of yourselves. In this trying time just a little compassion and kindness can go a long way. Y’all might want to try it!By the way I noticed that the post I put on your Facebook page was removed and not one soul has contacted me about this situation. Again I say you ought to be ashamed of yourselves!Holly DunkinThe lady in tears in your parking lot on Tuesday morning.

My mother visited this pharmacy on the morning of April 28th, to request an emergency refill of a maintenance that cannot be abruptly stopped. She had run out of the medication, and could not get in contact with her Dr's office to call in a refill. Upon presenting to the pharmacy with her medication vial, which contained adequate information for any competent pharmacist to fill an emergency supply, she was turned away in tears after being told they could not provide her with any medication and to go to urgent care. During a state of emergency, which we were under at the time, a pharmacist has the ability to provide up to a 30 day supply of a medication, excluding controlled substances. Please see SC bill S506 from the 122nd session of the South Carolina general assembly, this bill was signed into law May 15, 2018. It pains me to see such cold-heartedness as well as lack of morals, ethics, and knowledge of laws of the state in which the staff members are licensed to practice. When a person becomes a pharmacist you takes an oath, and many of the values of this oath were broken that day. A review was also left on this business's Facebook page, and without even trying to contact my mother to discuss the situation and at least apologize, they disgustingly deleted it to try and hide their shortcomings.
