After having trouble with a different pharmacy in the area I decided to change to Bobat pharmacy. They have all been amazing at sorting out my medication, making sure it’s ordered, dispensed on time etc. They made phone calls to my Gp and the other pharmacy on my behalf trying to sort out the problems that Lloyds created. Definitely a 5 ⭐️ pharmacy. Thank you
