Review titled Rude staff
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 04 June 2025
The two young girls who work behind the counter are very rude to customers and when you ask for something they just point,the new pharmacist is amazing and goes above and beyond to help, you ring up for your prescription to be told to order through your Doctors,what happens if ur a older person that can’t do that. I know a lot of people are now leaving this chemist as the two young girls are rude and abrupt. The lady who worked their was amazing and will be sorely missed.

Review titled First class care and exemplary NHS service.
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Ada Young - Posted on 18 May 2024
This review is slightly delayed, but it’s important that I share how grateful I am for the exceptional service received during a recent visit to Southcote Pharmacy. I was intending on my mother to come in for her vaccination, but unfortunately, she had a fall at another nearby shop just before our appointment. They immediately advised us to seek help from the pharmacy, which turned out to be excellent advice. Upon arriving at the pharmacy, the counter assistant was quick to alert the pharmacist, who was immediately attentive to our situation. They provided first aid, assessed my mother thoroughly, and even made the effort to call the local walk-in centre to inform them of the incident and inquire about the waiting times for a follow-up, which greatly helped us in planning our next steps. The kindness and knowledge displayed by the pharmacist reassured my mother immensely during a stressful moment. It was also great to see that the pharmacy is expanding, which will provide even more space for care in the future. I will certainly be telling my family and friends where to go for help! Despite being very busy, the pharmacist made time to assist us personally, which we greatly appreciated. Before we left, they provided a card with their contact details for any further queries—a thoughtful touch that prompted me to leave this review. I hope this message reaches the pharmacy staff to extend my heartfelt thanks for their fantastic service and care.

Review titled Amazing customer service
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Rayhan - Posted on 21 February 2024
The new pharmacist has signed me up to a new service where I get a text when my medicine is ready and this is extremely helpful as I'm a forgetful person. This has helped immensely as I now know with a glance at my phone that my medicines are ready to collect.

Review titled Excellent Pharmacy
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Katie Burns - Posted on 15 January 2024
Hi. I am visiting my grandma. The pharmacist was able to support me with getting everything in place and help explain all of the NHS services that are involved in her care. My grandma used another pharmacy, but they were too busy to talk to me and didn’t know about any services outside of their practice, the pharmacist’s team were wonderful and took their time with pointing me in the right direction. I felt quite lost before coming here! Thank you!
