Day Lewis Pharmacy Reviews 

Shame there is no option for zero stars
Absolutely shambolic. Queues for half hour every visit only to find stuff out of stock/not ready. Slow staff. Little eye contact.and spend ages looking for stuff as it’s never ready or in stock. I will drive to next town to friendly efficient chemist rather than spend my day queuing , even though it’s situated at medical centre near my house!

Pharmacist Erinco Mandello at 136-138 Stockwell Road, London SW9, Day Lewis Pharmacy is a superstar - very courteous, helpful and thorough. We need more pharmacists like him in our community. He treats people very well. Thank you Mr Mandello.

I need to speak with Day Lewis Pharmacist as they are responsible for the review of my new meds. Having not been around at the random time they called I have tried to call back but neither their pharmacies nor customer service answer the phone. A shambolic organisation

Andrea: Having recently been diagnosed with a progressive chronic illness, I've been having to navigate a world of new medication and Drs appointments - so I wanted to highlight how helpful Andrea, who works at the New Dispensary in Warwick, has been. Always helpful and super friendly - she has helped make sure my medication needs are met which is one less thing to worry about. Five stars!

I went into day Lewis pharmacy on 22 bd January.. I had seen the dr at 10 am thst morning who said she was sending the prescription straight over.. I went into st 3 pm .. it wasn’t ready and they refused to do it till the morning .. to make matters worse..the pharmacy was empty and served by someone ( I won’t say names at this moment) who had a bad attitude and was also patronising ..I have put a complaint in as I felt it was necessary .. I am now waiting for a reply .. goodbye Day Lewis I won’t be returning

When previously Church Road Pharmacy service was great. Normally have my medication delivered now unless you chase them it is not sent out. Pharmacy had my prescription 5 days went in this morning not done I also asked if someone could look at a picture of open wound for advice on what dressing to get. Still waiting after 20 minutes another person came in for bp monitor and pharmacist ignored me and took the person into another room. There was at least three of us waiting. I was then told l had to wait another 20 mins for advice and my prescription. This happened to me before and after 40 mins I was still not dealt with. With previous owners scripts were done ready and you could call in and collect without having to wait. Now there are always have to wait.
The only two efficient people are Nikki pharmacist when on and Michelle who does the delivery.

I went into my local Day Lewis in Turnford, Broxbourne today. Throat spray £10.38. Same one available in Tesco £7. Cough mixture £6.90. Same one in Tesco £4.50. Day Lewis absolute rip off, you should be ashamed of yourselves.

Very helpful with what travel vaccines to have. Can recommend Indi as he explained all vaccines which are required and sorted them quickly.

Now I realise why I signed up with PHARMACY4U! Tried phoning my local Day Lewis at 9am - it just rang and rang and rang. Tried again 5 mins later, same thing! I suffer from Anxiety and did not want to go to the pharmacy itself as I know how long it takes to get a prescription. But I had to go as it was medication for my daughter (which is normally sent via Pharmacy4U) but wasn't on this occasion. I got there around 9.08am, there were to people before me. Bearing in mind I had a message from the pharmacy telling me my child's medication was ready to be picked up, I asked the ONE staff member on the till and she pulled up my daughters prescription which had not been made up! There were at least 6 staff behind in the scenes and in the pharmacy making up prescriptions. One older gentleman, who was before me, almost collapsed whilst waiting and had to leave. 35 minutes later, I'm still waiting, getting more and more anxious. I asked how much longer I had to wait and they said it was being made up! The pharmacist was as miserable as you can get, moody and unhelpful. I ended up storming out without my daughters medicine as it was coming up to 40 mins and more and more people were coming in. AUWFUL experience never again.. Miserable staff, extremely slow on dealing with prescriptions and just not a nice place to go, unless you have 24 hours to wait for your medication to me made up even though there are 6 staff members just shuffling around.

I was lucky enough to get an early response from my GP and my urgent prescription was immediately digitally sent to Day Lewis. This was shortly after 9:00am. After five hours and many many attempts to call Day Lewis, I am still waiting for somebody to answer the phone. EDIT - it's now to late in the day for me to make use of my medication. Resulting in me having to endure an additional 24 hours of discomfort. Thanks for that Day Lewis. I'll switch to Tesco in future.

I was served by a lovely woman named Bibi she was kind and considerate and helped me to get my medication after I explained I was in a lot of pain she calmed me down and gave me my medication very quickly. Great customer service and compassion highly recommended to all!!!!!!

Went there just before Xmas for a chat about weight loss service.
Pharmacist and her colleague were really helpful and explained my options to me.
Have another review booked in next month and will definately recommend to others as the service was amazing

Simply get more staff. If the current ones are not sick they are too busy to answer phones. Try putting service before profit.

Fair enough they said my meds would be ready this afternoon (Wed 18/12) when I called yesterday morning. As its a 20 mins walk & didnt want a wasted journey in the pouring rain, kept calling from approx 1-4 p.m. to see if it was ready & the phone was constantly ringing out. They eventually decided to answer. They're supposed to send a txt to say when its ready but that never happens, as apparently its supposed to come from head office. For my next lot of meds will nominate another pharmacy on the patient access app.

Day Lewis Narrowcliff. I’ve been out of hospital a week and I’m still waiting for my meds. I’m told everyday they’re in but when I go to collect, I wait an hour to then be told ‘it’s not all here’

I’ve purchased most items (blood testing strips etc) online for next day delivery.

Staff are slow, untrained liars. Such a shame people’s health are at risk due to these individuals.

Excellent advice and service about travel vaccination. All administered by Magda who was so professional and helpful with all her advice. I would definitely recommend.

I'm sorry to see these poor reviews as I had an excellent and very friendly experience getting vaccinations for a holiday

From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and a genuine willingness to help. The staff took the time to listen to my concerns regarding my prescription and provided detailed information about my medication. Their knowledge was evident, and they answered all my questions thoroughly. It's refreshing to find a pharmacy where the staff is not just doing their job but genuinely cares about the well-being of their customers. I left feeling informed and valued.

I signed up for the 24/7 collection service at Liskeard branch. waited nearly 3 weeks but heard nothing. Checked with surgery who said they sent medication to the pharmacy 2 weeks ago. When I asked Day Lewis the reason for delay they told me they didn't have my mobile number but I provided my mobile and email address when I signed up for the service. Queue from the counter to the shop door, 6 people working in the store but only 1 helping customers. Overall impression is unorganised chaos.

The manager of this branch was extremely helpful and went above and beyond to ensure I got my anti-seizure medication. He was calm and reassuring knowing that it was crucial that I had to have the anti-seizure drug. He even kept the store open until it was resolved. It was supposed to close at 2.30 but it was nearly 3pm by the time I left.
I didn’t get his name, but I’m hoping knowing the time & date, you’ll see who it was and pass on my huge thanks and appreciation for his help and kindness.
