I cant thank Sean enough! I went there to do a lateral flow test and Sean was extremely patient and helpful through the whole process. Going to a pharmacy (specially during this time) can be stressful but not here. The whole experience was extraordinarily! Thank you again :)

Didn't like that we were given a medicine from 2 different manufacturers for the same treatment, 3 pills from one, 20something from the other, why mix? Also patient informatory leaflets in our packet were either from same medicine but from different manufacturer, or a different medicine pack (new treatment) didn't have a leaflet with instructions in it at all!

Although I no longer live in Putney having returned to South Wales,I wish to record my sincere gratitude to the Pharmacist for her advice and recommendations on how to manage my then newly diagnosed Emphysema. Also my gratitude to the friendly and efficient staff. My best wishes to all.

Myself and a family member visited this pharmacy for a COVID-19 PCR self swab test; we experienced extreme unprofessionalism and disrespect.
Firstly, the pharmacist verbally issued the incorrect instructions for the self swab test and didnt provide the written guide required- resulting in a faulty test. In front of several other patients, the pharmacy manager boldly blamed my family member and insisted they must pay for another test. Eventually a new test was administered but upon issuance, my family member, whos middle aged, was infantilised and belittled- again with staff and patients
