My only regret is that I didn't do it years ago! Yoshi & Spencer are fantastic at what they do. I just wish all healthcare had this personal touch to it. I love that customer service is so present! Well done guys! I have raved to everyone about you!”

1660 Feltham Rd #102, Victoria“Helped me source a phone call doctor appointment quickly when my daughter came home from daycare with a rash. I really appreciated the help sourcing a prescription quickly and easily!”
“What a gem this pharmacy is in the middle of Oak Bay Village. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, and the selection of all sorts of items is great. You could spend ages browsing in this place. I also find the prices are pretty reasonable for the items that are sold there. Lovely displays, including displays outside. Well done, Pharmasave!”
“The service I received was above and beyond my expectations… The young lady that served me should go up the street to Shoppers drug Mart and give all the pharmacy Personnel a lesson in customer service.!I will definitely be coming back to Forbes Pharmacy…!!”

3540 Blanshard St, Victoria“Amazing pharmacy with fantastic staff and unparalleled service. Our family has been coming to Elements for years and the team is always friendly and helpful. A fantastic pharmacy and great asset to the community!”
“I love Cridge Pharmacy and have been going to the Fort Street location since they opened. The owner, Jason is amazing; however, I don’t often see him anymore as he has become more operationally focused as his business has grown. Patrick, who has been at Cridge since earlier days is also amazing and I trust the care he gives me explicitly. I have found it challenging to transition my care from him to any of the new staff members as I am used to Patrick. From time to time, I will also go to the Cook Street location as the pharmacist Chris is fantastic, too. Simply put, Cridge — regardless of the location — provides excellent care.”
“While for the most part the staff and pharmacists are friendly and helpful, my last in-person experience was mildly frustrating and uncomfortable.
Despite the College of Pharmacists of BC statement about receiving care that's "free from prejudice and discrimination, respecting the needs of Indigenous...communities" when I went to fill my first prescription at the pharmacy, the first pharmacist's attitude noticeably changed when I said that I also have FNHA (NIHB/Status) coverage. Even after telling her that, she didn't apply it and tried to charge me for my prescription. I had to speak with another pharmacist there to have my coverage confirmed. While the second pharmacist was kind and apologetic, I shouldn't have had to argue for the pharmacy to acknowledge and accept my coverage as an Indigenous person. It made me feel uncomfortable having to explain it three times in front of the whole store.”
“Pharmacist is super knowledgeable and kind. Instead of simply giving a quick answer he's willing to break down everything going on with every option for your needs and explain to you all the details of side effects and recommended tips to ensure you can make an informed decision yourself as well as use the medicine right.
He clearly knows his stuff and puts that to good use.”
“I just want to thank you to Pourya for helping me booked an appointment to Dr Javad Ramezani. It was so nice of you and you”re very professional.Once again thank you so much for your help!”
“You'll find everything you need here including many products local to Victoria. From the front counter, to the pharmacy and the postal outlet, you won't find better or more friendly service!”
“Great place and the women that work there are all amazing. But, You’ve gotta change the hours on the website. I missed picking up my prescription for my surgery tomorrow because I went with the website hours and it closed an hour and a half sooner than the website says”

3994 Shelbourne St #103B, Victoria“This pharmacy is the reason to support local business. I've been using University Heights as my pharmacy for about a year and half now, and have had only good experiences. After a few months, they seemed to know me, and had a good understanding of my needs.The pharmacists and technicians here are friendly and responsive. They have always communicated with me in a timely and effective way, and have been extremely knowledgeable about my medications and needs. They have filled my prescriptions quickly and treated me and my wife with respect and courtesty, every time we go in.After many disappointing experiences at the larger chains, I will 100% be sticking with University Heights!”
“My vet had ordered special medicine from Victoria compounding pharmacy for my pet mouse. It really helped, but eventually after a couple weeks she took a turn for the worse. I had ordered another course of medicine to pay for and pick up, and when I went in and told them she had passed they said not to worry about it. It wasn’t cheap medicine by any means, and that kind gesture meant so much to me, as well as their ability to supply specialized medicine that my vet had requested. Wonderful service, and very kind and generous people. Also lovely location with interesting curios and antiques from bygone pharmacy days. Would give more than 5 stars if I could ??❤️”
“Akiko was so kind and helpful! I was visiting from the U.S. and woke up with a UTI. My insurance told me I’d have to go to urgent care to get a prescription for antibiotics. Thankfully, I had a hunch that here in Canada, a pharmacist might be able to prescribe simple drugs without an expensive visit to urgent care. Turns out they can! I called View St. Pharmacy, and Akiko said she could help right away. I was so grateful. I was in and out within 30 minutes for $43 ($20 for the consultation and $23 for the Rx). Thank you for your kindness, professionalism, and service to your community! You are a blessing, Akiko!”

“I was visiting from the States and this was the closest grocery store to my hotel. This store is very clean, well-organized, and offers a great variety of products. A special thanks to the cashier who scanned a store savings card to save money on my purchase.”
“Solid, well stocked grocery store with good selection. On site bakery. Good cheese options.
Parking lot can be a bit of a zoo.
Excellent florist.
Bakery hit or miss. Erratic quality for Birthday Cakes but it really varies depending who is working.
Staff always willing to stop whatever they are doing to help.”
“Island Pharmacy has helped me twice this week with very quick prescription fills. They were so helpful and extremely nice. Other pharmacies could not fill them as fast, some said 7 working days. I appreciate you guys so much!!”

2517 Estevan Ave, Victoria“I can’t honestly say if this is the best pharmacy because it is the only pharmacy I go to! The Pharmacists are very knowledgeable and helpful. I don’t hesitate to ask for their professional opinion. More often than not questions can be answered with out going back to the doctor. And they are very nice people, win win!”
“Extremely helpful staff from the ladies at the counter to the Pharmacist. I was given helpful advice on seeing a doctor through an online virtual appointment. I was able to get the prescription sent to the pharmacy an hour after my appointment. Thank you”
“There is no better pharmacy in all of Victoria and perhaps the whole island. They are prompt, they know their clients, friendly, will do whatever they can to make you feel important, cared about and perhaps most importantly, like family. Thanks to all the staff!”

582 Goldstream Ave, Victoria“Booked my Covid and flu vaccination shots here as it is right next to the primary care clinic. The station with nurse/ vaccinator situates right by the pharmacy entrance. There are a couple seats on the side for patients to wait out their 15minutes post vaccination. The nurse is friendly and knowledgeable on vaccines, also able to answer my questions about record keeping.I find the signage to check-in confusing. At first the nurse was busy so I didn’t know if I should wait and check in with her or with pharmacy receptionist.”
“My wife and I stopped at this tiny pharmacy for her 3rd Covid shot . We were early . She had an appt I did not. They promptly vaccinated both of us anyway. Fast friendly and an eclectic mix of products.”
“The pharmacy was fast and easy, they sorted everything out before I even came in and there was no fuss over me taking an extra week to collect the script. The selection of gluten-free and fodmap friendly food items was surprising and some of the sale items were a real bargain. Staff were super friendly.”
