They used to be a really good chemist

They used to be a really good chemist. Then claire the pharmacy manager left and it all went downhill. You can never get them to answer the phone, no matter what time you ring and yet they always have enough staff in. I get regular meds 2x monthly and from ordering via gp to getting them, its around 5 days. However, on multiple occasions I have had a text to say my prescription is ready for collection, only to get there and find items missing and they have had to order them in. I was advised originally that the 5 day turnaround was to make sure all meds were ordered in on time and patients didn't have to wait again for their medication to finally come in.

Rowlands pharmacy.

All the staff I've personally came in contact with have been very helpful.
Turnaround time from handing in a prescription to dispensing is very good.
Certainly recommend Rowlands Pharmacy, Glasgow east end.

Why is rowlands still open

As am writing this review I have had no medication delivered. I have my medication delivered weekly. Im on weekly scripts for certain reasons. Ive complained once already about, it was fine for two weeks and now its gone back to square 1. When I asked why my meds wasn't delivered. The excuse that I got was they are short staffed and everything is all over the place which is why I was missed.off the delivery list. I explained to them. They have left me without medication tomorrow morning. They said that they will make sure am delivered to first due to not having medication. The girl on the phone didnt even sound bothered at all. She sounded.more.bothered that they were shirt staffed. This is a stress for me every week Some of my medication is my mental health ones. Ive already put a complaint in so just waiting for a reply.

Great Service & friendliness 😀

I received a text telling me my medication was ready for me, which is great. I visited the shop and was greeted with a smile and was delighted that it was ready. I have been with Rowlands Crossgate for a number of years and the new staff are always great.

The member of staff I spoke to was very informative and friendly. After I explained my ailment they suggested a further form of medication that would suit me better.
I mentioned that this pharmacy had a much better vibe and far more friendlier than Boots across the road.

I am so happy with Rowlands Pharmacy in Stevenston! The staff there are always extremely polite, friendly, and helpful. Even though English is not our first (or even second) language, they always listen carefully, patiently, and kindly help us understand everything we need. It’s always a pleasure to speak with them. I have never seen such a welcoming and supportive team in any pharmacy before. Thank you for making every visit so easy and pleasant!
