Local pharmacies?

Just moved to the area and am looking for my go-to pharmacy for prescriptions. I'd really like to keep it local/mom-and-pop owned, too. Any recommends, preferrably South Slope/7th Ave?

Thanks!

I go to Neergaard on 7th ave, but the one on 5th ave/9th st is probably closer to you. I have never had a problem with them and they are always helpful and polite.

I have been using Ansonia since it opened 25+ years ago.

They are on 7th Ave between 10 and 11th Street. 718-965-0565. Dennis and John that own it grew up in the area, most of their employees are local residents.

Health Aid on 7th Ave near 7th St. They will come to your house to pick-up the script and deliver. The pharmacist is great and I've never had the problems I had at the chain places. Sometimes the girls working the counter can be a bit flighty but this place is so much better than the other places we've tried in NYC.

Health Aid is the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Palma Chemists on Garfield & 7th Ave. They've been in the Slope since before the Slope was the Slope. Sometimes it takes an extra day to fill a script. However, considering they double check your script/s for possible conflicts, will call your doctor to get refills, and will deliver-it's all good by me. Plus, they're very nice people who don't throw you bullshit excuses or conversations.

I second (or third) both Health Aid and Palma. Both are excellent.

I imagine most of these small stores suggested are all better than dealing with CVS, Rite Aid, or Duane Reade.

The difference is like night and day!

Slope Drugs.. 5th ave between7th and 8th Street...terrific!

Only down side is they are closed on Sunday and open early 6 days a week but do close by 8pm.

neergard on 5th is nice b.c it's always open. i also found that the pharmacist next door at riteaid has been surprisingly nice/helpful.

For parents of very young children, Neergard 5th Avenue's 24/7 hours are a godsend, since young kids inevitably get sick and run high fevers in the middle of the night and on Sundays (at least mine did!).

Thank you all! Nice to know there are so any options to choose from. I went with Health Aid for the sake of convenience and they're great!
