I went in for my travel vaccines and felt very welcome from all the staff, they made sure I knew exactly what I was getting and how it would help me.
Kamil in the Fife store was fantastic, very friendly and caring throughout all the appointments.

Blood draw

Was treated great and guided to the consulting waiting room quickly where I was with Danielle who did a amazing job taking my blood and was great to chat with through the whole process making a usually anxiety producing process very positive

Visiting from Canada needing advice

I was visiting from Canada, and was fighting a respiratory infection for two weeks. I called UK healthcare and they suggested I attend a pharmacy (a very novel thing for a Canadian). I got in within a few hours, for a booked appointment and received absolutely brilliant care from Jenna. The staff and pharmacist Jenna were kind, thoughtful, prompt, professional. Excellent timely service. I think I have the correct address.

(On behalf of patient)

(On behalf of patient)

Kerry at Dears pharmacy Kirkcaldy (Templehall) was great. She didn't rush the earwax removal, my grandmother had to return a few times to get to it completed due to a small ear canal and Kerry not wanting to irritate the ear. and all subsequent (2) times were covered by the first charge. And provided a perscription for ear drops to keep buildup at a minimun.

Would highly reccomend.

Unreliable service

Pharmacy is refusing to issue full order of libre sensors after 5 weeks of waiting, only giving one out at a time, I emailed Dears to complain and got absolutely no response from them. Local pharmacy state they dont have them, which after 5 weeks from ordering them is just not true, but when I tell them I am on the last one they issue one out of thin air. Went to collect today and asked for an ETA on the outstanding sensors and was told they have no idea when they'll be available. Have spoken with my clinic and been told this is a regular complaint for Dears. It's not good enough, they are a dispenserory who are refusing to issue supplies required to control a chronic illness. I will be going elsewhere from now on.

5 Star Travel Advice

We went to Dears Travel Clinic Dunfermline for advice on our upcoming travel to Nigeria regarding vaccinations and medications recommend for Nigeria. From start to finish we were made very welcome and all options discussed for our 10year old daughter. Kamil the pharmacist and his colleagues made our daughter relaxed, confident and composed for all her vaccinations. He also explained very well the prescribed the amount of malaria medication needed for the full trip, the procedure and dosage for taking before, during and after her trip.
Dears pharmacy have an exemplary employee in Kamil and we cannot praise him and the team highly enough. On our experience I will not hesitate to recommend the Dunfermline Branch for any travel needs and supplies.

Extremely happy with all aspects of service

My son was quite distressed after losing his inhaler while struggling to breath. We were assisted and had a very concise and friendly consultation with Diane and George being particularly helpful throughout.
I wish all chemists performed to this highly patient focussed standard . Prompt , efficient and genuinely friendly and happy help , would highly recommend!

Cut opening hours - big disappointment

Local staff are great, friendly and helpful. But recently updated opening hours means anyone working during the week can no longer pick up prescriptions except for a Saturday morning (presumably staff cost cutting).
They used to be open til 6 - now closing at half 5; in the only pharmacy in town leaves anyone working unable to get back in time to pick up prescription medication from the GP linked pharmacy. Important lifeline services like this should be open 8-6 minimum - we aren't all free during the working day. Would've been understandable if they had the automated collection points but this one doesn't.

Thank goodness for St Andrews branch

Having had major surgery, I depend on a drug that is often in short supply. Rebecca, Chris and the entire team in the St Andrews branch manage this so well for me.
They are all helpful and friendly and this helps when feeling under the weather.

Team St Andrews is best

St Andrews branch go above and beyond.All team members are friendly, polite and helpful. Special shout out to pharmacist Chris. He is caring and explains everything so well. Also Yvonne - she is a great communicator and any time I’m in branch she never stops working. As a person with a chronic illness, having a pharmacy team like this makes life a little better.
