For the fifth time in a row I have…

For the fifth time in a row I have arrived to collect a prescription at the opening time of 8am and for the fifth time in a row they have not opened on time. Always opening at about 8.06am with no apology. I have raised this via email to their head office and received no reply. This time I raised it with the staff who were there and was told by the pharmacist that this was ‘life’ and that if I know they open late I should arrive later! I replied that the simple solution would be to change their opening hours sign to 8.10 so at least it’s honest and I would know to make plans to be delayed arriving at work. The sad thing is if the pharmacist had shown an ounce of decent manners and understanding I would have been less likely to complain.

I have never come across such a vile place, fully lacking in compassion and delivery, making cancer patients or disabled patients wait for hours for vital medicine. You have to be a special kind of heartless to work there. Just when you think things couldn't get any worse.

awful management

If you're ever thinking about working in a pharmacy make sure it isn't this one. They allow and protect staff members who treat their fellow colleagues terribly, even after copious amounts of evidence of this and false accusations. Bearing in mind said "person" is almost 70 and clearly should know better. Treat good hard working staff like rubbish. Management should be ashamed of themselves. Absolutely outrageous behaviour.

Great staff working tirelessly for the Public.

Great staff working tirelessly for the public in less than ideal surroundings. This Pharmacy branch is way too small for the village it serves and staff have to negotiate boxes and crates all over the floor sorting out the prescriptions- a H&S nightmare.

5 Star Pharmacist, Suzanne.

I was recently in to see the pharmacist (Suzanne) at Numark pharmacy on alberta avenue, east kilbride.
I honestly cannot recommend Suzanne enough. She is the most sincere, friendly and attentive medical professional that I have ever met. She actively listened to my issues and had great patience when I explained what was wrong. She then advocated for me at my GP practice, where I was able to get an appointment and antibiotics as I had a bad lung infection. Without Suzanne's help, I would have not been able to get a GP appointment to be assessed and recieve the help I needed. She then helped me at a later date with something else. I really cant recommend the staff and in particular Suzanne any further. She is absolutely excellent and a credit to the company/pharmacist profession. Thank you again Suzanne.

Kyle and the Team Were Extremely Helpful

I’ve been going to this pharmacy for over a year now, and there has definitely been a huge improvement. The staff are efficient, accommodating, and helpful — especially the manager, Kyle, who really helped me when I was struggling to get medication for my dad

The staff were friendly and very helpful at the Farnham branch. Especially the lady, sorry, don’t know your name, who went above and beyond to complete my prescription and secure some future supplies. Thank you so much!
Yes they are busy but note the huge amount of prescriptions they fill!
This is now my nominated pharmacy and I live a 40min drive away.

The level of incompetence is staggering. Wait times are appalling, the staff do not know the difference between first name and a surname, and despite having my prescription for 9 days, they did not have it in stock. Morons, best avoided if you value your health

don`t care if you are bleeding

on 17/05/26 i was taken in to pinderfields with a blood infection.. was kept there all day, for tests etc... was then put a antibiotic drip, through a a cannula for a hour... i was released from hospital, as was given a few prescription's, so decided to call at Rowlands pharmacy, as it was on the way out.. i handed in my prescriptions, only to feel a warm trickle down my arm... i took my jacket off to find blood running down my arm, where the cannula had been... i asked the pharmacist for a bit of tissue and tape to stop the bleeding... the assistant went to the pharmacist, who refused point blank to help in any way... saying we don`t have those things, even though they were on the shelves right in front of me.. disgusting service, and needless to say i would never step foot in a rowlands pharmacy again, and i advised others to do the same.
