Medicine Shoppe

This pharmacy is like one of those old-school pharmacies where the pharmacist will take time to talk to you, and knows your name. My sons are sick all the time & he knows us all by name. He's very friendly and always makes sure I understand everything about the medicine. I like that this store pretty much only sells health related items. Unlike when I take my sons to CVS or Walgreens, I don't wind up buying a bunch of extra crap or candy or anything.

Once, my son needed a certain type of antibiotic that they didn't have in stock. The pharmacist said that he could order it & have it delivered to my house by 3:30 pm (I dropped it off at around 11am). Well, wouldn't you know at 3:30 pm almost to the minute, they did deliver it.

The pharmacist is the nicest, friendliest person & never condescends anyone. I can't say enough nice things about this place, which is why, even though my kids' pediatrician is now in Red Bank, I'll still drive up to Hazlet to get their scripts filled, then drive back home to Keansburg.

AWESOME!!!!

The Medicine Shoppe is a great small drug store. They carry alot more than you would expect looking at them from the outside. I went there a few weeks back for a splint for my carpal tunnel. The staff were great, very helpful answering my questions and helping me decide which splint would be best for my needs.

I recently visited The Medicine Shoppe to get some needed first aid supplies and was very pleased with service. They are small and almost hidden in the strip-like mall but the two people who helped me were very kind and took the time to explain both the pros and cons of the products and also to let me know how they should properly be used. I was taken back by the amount of time they spent with me and also very glad that they were so helpful. I would definitely recommend them and would go back again -- especially if there is something I need good advice about.

PROS: Service
CONS: None
