Day Lewis Pharmacy Recensioni 

I have left Bradford on Avon laissez-faire "health" practice & Day Lewis Chemist at risk of fraud in a NHS geographic monopoly area due to incompetence, insulting attitude, and covering up over-ordering and common mistakes. I would like to hear from anyone with similar opinions to encourage competition to relocate to BoA to help my friends; the population.

The interior of this branch was redesigned some years ago by a total incompetent. Plenty of spare room for the pharmacists to work in at the back, no room for customers at the front, queuing 4 - 7 deep for one checkout. After a 15-30 minute wait, one is finally served by a curt salesperson.

The Waterlooville branch always provides excellent service. All the staff are friendly, helpful and efficient.

Went to DayLewis Riverhead today for a pre booked NHS Flu jab. When I arrived they asked what age range I was. They then said they had run out. They went on to say that they had a lot of “walk ins”. I emphasised that it was a timed prebooked by the NHS with an official form that was sent to Day Lewis. I’m not very happy. Do they get more money for “walk ins”. I will be avoiding this pharmacy in future.

Picked up my perception today and when checked at home the day 7/2026 when they should be 2 years , after calling then and returning to see them , they was rude and very unhelpful just repeating over and over again well that all we have and you'll have to get a repeat perception in 7 months , No customer service or compassion, very rude and unhelpful staff , I'll not be using them again ( south kirkby) or any other of there chemist . There happy to put people's life in danger as I need to carry eipens with me at all times ,that are in date .

Staff are always helpful,my medication is always ready to be picked up on time and correct ,and also I’ve never had to que ,very efficient service.

Today 4th December l got my delivery but one of my Lantus Insulin was missing l have been trying to call them since 1pm but they have put it on answer machine saying they busy, why are they not getting important medicines done right l need this insulin

What awful staff today.
I called asking about the flu jab and was told it's available Mon to Fri until 6pm, in a rude, snappy tone.I couldn't get there until 5.30pm today, as I walked in the door the grey haired woman made a comment to 2 other staff. The woman was rude miserable and made me feel uncomfortable for asking for the jab, I'd explained I called earlier to check times etc. The pharmacist was ignorant and unfriendly. Never in my life have I experienced such unprofessional, unhelpful staff in a pharmacy and especially after my first visit a couple of weeks ago when I asked for advice and the pharmacist that day couldn't have been more helpful. I think they all need to learn from him.

Would be less if possible! The Pharmacist Azadeh Azabani is on an unbelievable power trip and thinks she can talk to CUSTOMERS however she feels. Always an extremely long wait in here. Apparently 24hrs isn’t enough notice to get basic medicine ready.

The worst pharmacy I’ve ever seen. Highly DO NOT RECOMMEND, they’re extremely slow, customer service is also terribly poor. Nothing more to say.

I had an appointment for a covid booster , which I made last week explaining that I had a low immunity and was on immunosuppressive drugs,as I couldn't attend my appointment at my registered surgery, I was told I was eligible,booked my appointment for this morning at 10.30, only to be told I needed proof of my age and of my condition, drugs I am taking etc, made me feel like a criminal, like I was trying it on etc.!!this was the whitby branch.

Booked up a flu jab with this pharmacy, took time off work to attend. Turned up for my jab and 1 minute before my appointment they sent me a text to cancel the appointment. When I asked at the reception they told me the pharmacist they have working today was not trained to give jabs. No real apology but said I could rebook, however no reassurance that next time this would not happen again

I booked an 11.30 Covid jab online. Got to Brixton branch on time & checked in. Almost immediately the pharmacist came out but ignored me & ushered into the consultation booth another person who'd been waiting. It was obviously not an emergency & it lasted 45 minutes. When I did finally get seen there was no apology or explanation. Perhaps this was incompetent double booking but as the Covid jab took less than 5 minutes I would thought it made more sense for me to be seen first. Last year I had to wait about 10 minutes. Next year I'll go elsewhere.

I put prescription in over a week ago. Picked it up told didn't have freestyle libre sensor2 plus and couldn't get them. Given a phone number for Abbots and told to ring and sort it out myself. Automated couldn't get through to anyone, rang surgery told them they gave me an open prescription. Got them from Tesco pharmacy no problem an hour before the one in my arm ran out. This is not the first time I was given blood pressure tablets instead of atorvistatin and then given warfarin from someone else's prescription. I have changed pharmacy.

Kapil could not have been more helpful. We came to him for travel vaccinations and he did all the research needed not only to advise us accurately as to what was mandatory, optional etc for the countries we are about to visit but also to access all our NHS records. As to injections, the girls who are usually terrified with injections hardly felt them! It was a very smooth experience and I could not thank him enough. Definitely recommend.

I used to think they were good but their service has gone through the floor. I have been waiting for a prescription following cancer treatment. The supplier says it was delivered to Day Lewis on 11 October but 10 days later I have heard nothing from them and it is impossible to get through on the phone.

I have never experienced such rude and incompantant staff at PHARMACY...CHURCH ROAD PLYMSTOCK PLYMOUTH . My mother is on life supporting medication and we are constantly told that it is not in and will need to contact the surgery for following up on the prescription .On told times this has happened to only find that the staff have not looked up the prescription correctly and it is there at the pharmacy. There is never an apology. They all need retraining in customer service or leave the job and find something where they don't need to deal with members of the public.
This place has caused such stress that we have now moved pharmacy, and even though I have to drive further it is worth it, to be treated respectfully and given the correct medication.

Massively expensive. I was charged three times the normal rate for eye drops ! Go to a chain (Boots, Superdrug, etc), significantly cheaper. I visited the Battersea pharmacy.

Every time without exception, I go in here to pick a prescription off. I’m told we’ve only just received it. ! I have a text from the surgery saying it was sent at 1325 yesterday. I stand waiting and ask the young man behind the counter. How long will this take? I’m answered by another employee. She’s just gone in a consultation. It’s probably gonna be about half an hour.. maybe nice if the young man had mentioned this, but maybe this is the norm

Communication is key….

Went in for a prescription was told won’t be long, waited over an hour, staff were rude, reminded myself why I no longer use this pharmacy and won’t use it ever again.
At no point did they communicate how busy they was to anyone, or give an accurate wait time. Pharmacist was back and forth giving out medication, but was prioritising private flu and Covid jabs over getting medication to the crowd of people waiting.
A quick thought, it would be more beneficial to give a time for people to come back when the prescription will be ready so they can make an informed choice to whether they want to be in a packed pharmacy for over an hour with the risks of catching flu, Covid and god knows what else being in close proximity to so many people for so long.
Customer care is right out the window .

Pharmacist also nearly gave incorrect dose of medication, clearly not paying attention….
This was in Woodley branch
