Awful experience here

Awful experience here, felt completely ambushed and disrespected by a man behind the counter who felt it necessary to enlist the help of the pharmacist to come and "deal" with me (I was unknowingly but politely ordering a medication that isn't meant for regular use). Felt as if I was being told off like an unruly child or a common criminal. No confidentiality observed when I was questioned about my medical issues either. Would never go here to ask for advice again

Hi Jen,

Thank you for providing this feedback. Please accept our deepest apologies. We are concerned that you were made feel ambushed and disrespected when you were trying to order medication and that there was no confidentiality when questions were asked about your medical situation.

We take these complaints very seriously and would like to look into this further for you. Could you please contact our Superintendents team at yourexperience@well.co.uk with your name, date of birth and the branch details that this happened in so they can investigate this for you.

Again please accept our deepest apologies for the experience you have had and we look forward to hearing from you.

Best wishes
