My family has used this pharmacy for many years in terms of prescriptions and general advice. I was recently recommended to them to syringe my ears. I was impressed with both the thoughtful and informative way they approached this matter. Keep up the excellent service you provide.

Gives the appearance of being interested only in the NHS prescription business especially as so close to the GP surgery. Despite the proximity I have experienced a number of instances where there is a breakdown in communication. I have received numerous meaningless nonsense texts from the pharmacy. I have discussed with them but no improvement noticed.
