Star Discount Chemist Glenelg

So helpful, all the staff were very approachable, and proactive in their service. I would certainly always use them.

This chemist, throughout the years in it various incarnations, is indeed a bit more expensive than some of the other chemists and chemist chains however, for twenty years it has been my local chemist and I want to support a local business.

The owners, pharmarcists and staff that have come and gone have always been pretty helpful as after a short while at the business, come to realise that this is a chemist that has a regular clientele as it is located in a little oasis of a shopping complex adrift in a desert of suburbia.

The locals, a demographic comprised of older people with older people problems and young families, often with children who have the usual range of childrenhood maladies, rely on this chemist a great deal.

Often, these people are prescribed medicines with the potential of producing adverse side effects and by informing them face-to-face, making that connection between a pharmacist and customer relieves a lot anxiety the customer may have about taking a new drug and taking it properly so it's potential is fully realised.

The staff I suspect are trained not only in their duties of a pharmacy but also in the means of communication as there are often hurdles such as hard of hearing, English as a second language, maybe being socially challenged and a host of other barriers that need to be realised and overcome to do their job effectively and provide for their customers. I've even heard a staff member once say to a customer who looked as they weren't sure of the information they had just been told, 'Do you understand? Do you have any questions? Please ask me if you do. ' Basically to me this says, ' We care, we want you to understand this medication, we want you to be safe and not worry. ' Can't get better than that.

Yeah, it's a business but there is a professional attitude here that goes beyond the ringing of the till. We are part of the community. Anybody who whinges about a few pennies compared with service like this business provides I reckon needs to reassess their priorities.

I visit this chemist regularly - attentive helpful staff - so much better than Chemist W/House or Ntl Pharmacies where I have to go for my neighbour.

The staff here were lovely. While I was waiting for a script, the male pharmacist, David Te, was kind and helpful to an elderly woman in front of me. I will definitely return here.

Excellent service professional help and guidance on medications from the pharmacists, very polite and friendly staff in attendance

The team here are supportive and helpful; no sales pitch or hard sell for products you don’t need!

Too pricey.on one script they were $4.20 more expensive and on another nearly $6.00 will travel 4 minutes down the road to chemist warehouse next time.

Buy cheaper headache medication at Foodland next door (or even better at Coles/Woolies).
Customer service was good though.

Excellent customer service. The pharmacy assistants are all lovely and the pharmacist Lenny is friendly and knowledgeable.
