There are many kinds of pharmacies in the Seattle area, and different ones offer different benefits to patients.
An independently owned pharmacy is often thought of as the neighborhood pharmacy. While the soda fountains are likely gone, there remain many benefits to choosing a neighborhood pharmacy.
Independent pharmacies offer a wide range of pharmacy services, including things like, prescription dispensing, compounding, medi-set packaging, compliance packaging, long-term care facility services, consultant pharmacist services, immunizations and a variety of health screenings.
Most independent pharmacies take major insurance coverage, so you will be able to use your insurance benefits.
Most independent pharmacies set themselves apart from other pharmacies by providing great customer service (this is after all - their business).
What you'll miss out on at most independent pharmacies, are the rows and rows of cleaning products, cosmetics and kids toys, all illuminated by bright lights. You may also miss the convenience of being able to get your medicines at several different locations. The exception to this is locally owned and independent Bartell Drugs, which has multiple locations in the Seattle area and offers a wide variety of home and personal care products for sale.
If personalized customer service, friendly staff and extra services at a small nicely lit local location meets your pharmacy needs, check out one of the below local independent pharmacies for your next prescription fill.
