Small Town Service in the Middle of the City

by jenajoli at Citysearch

I LOVE this Pharmacy. Ira is the single most helpful pharmacist I have ever encountered. Not only does he know all of his regulars (and semi-regulars like me) by name, but he goes out of his way to make sure you understand the medication you've been prescribed, even offering helpful non-pharmaceutical products to speed your recovery. The employees are helpful and friendly, and the atmosphere is generally pleasant. They even carry Burt's Bees and other alternative products. Shopping here is a great way to support local small businesses without sacrificing convenience.

• Pros: Service, location, great way to support small business
• Cons: slightly more expensive than chain stores, but the convenience and service make up for the slight mark-up in price.

Best Pharmacy in the ATL

by Robotham at Citysearch

Just the best, best run pharmacy in town. Exactly how it should be, and I really do think Ira actually cares about you and your health. Skip the big guys and go to a local business that does it right!

• Pros: Caring. Efficient. Independent.
• Cons: A wee bit pricey, but still worth it.

Independent Survivor

by JohnKress_Citysearch at Citysearch

If you're nostalgic for the days of independent pharmacies, where customer service really means something and you're not just a number in a computer with an insurance card, this is the place for you. There's even a soda fountain! Video rentals are also available.
