The pharmacy operates with extended hours, serving customers from Monday to Sunday. While the majority of customers express their satisfaction with the overall customer service, a few reviews highlight a concerning experience with an employee named Karen. Customers describe her as seemingly disinterested in her work and providing unprofessional service, including putting them on hold and hanging up the phone.
