Terrible service

Terrible service. Went to collect a prescription to be told I had to come back because there was no pharmacist on the premises. Not acceptable. If the pharmacist is not going to be available then close for a lunch break.
This is in the town centre where I had to pay twice for parking due to this.

Friendly, professional local service

Friendly, professional service. We have been customers here for many years and have consolidated all of our family's medication and precription deliveries through Dears. We are fortunate to have such a good service available to us locally.

First class Customer service

My wife forgot to order her meds from her doctor before the Easter holidays.
Dears pharmacy only received the prescription's this morning and went out their way to prepare them the same day, only to find they didn't stock one item. So a lovely young lady called 'Danielle,' called other chemists in the area and managed to get my wife's meds in the afternoon and called me up when they arrived. 'First class service.'

Incredibly helpful dispensary team/base…

Incredibly helpful dispensary team/base pharmacist at Dears Tranent (EH33 1LN).

They will consistently go the extra mile, and pick up any slack from NHS Lothian services, where appropriate, to ensure patients receive the right care.

Had an appointment at Dears yesterday…

Had an appointment at Dears yesterday for cryotherapy. All very simple to understand and the form filling straightforward. A young lady, Susanna, talked me through the procedure. What to expect during, after and the level of discomfort I may experience. This was in a private room. She was friendly and chatty putting me at ease but professional too instilling confidence in both herself and Dears. All done efficiently. Would highly recommend this pharmacy if you are thinking of having a procedure done. Prior to my appointment I had chatted with a member of staff, Evelyn I think, who was very helpful suggesting that I chat with Susanna before making my mind up and I met her then. Have a follow up in a month to check all is as it should be. Excellent customer service from both of these members of staff. Dears should be pleased and proud

Amazing pharmacy

Amazing pharmacy
Staff are always great and do their best to serve you.
We’ve used this for collecting prescriptions, pharmacy first; seeing the GP re medical issues as well as the vaccination clinic.
We’re very lucky to have this on our doorstep.
Thank you so much for everything you do for my family.

Excellent

Excellent. I visited last year for travel jabs. They were very informative telling me exactly what I needed and what I didn't. I recently visited for a booster the staff were so friendly and professional. Nothing was too much trouble and I was made to feel comfortable. I would highly recommend.

Ear wax removal.

Just had my ear wax removed at Dears Templhall. Brilliant service absolutely great results. The staff persevered with it until completely clear. Had to turn the radio in my car down as soon as i got in. Cannot thank the staff enough, they were all friendly and very helpful. Ken Smith. Just been into my music room ie garage wow. Best £55 quid I've ever spent. Change that ever to EVER.

Outstanding Service from Francesca

I had to have a private consultation at the pharmacy today for an issue which has caused me considerable worry. I was dealt with by an exceptionally kind, patient, and empathetic young pharmacist; I think her name was Francesca. I don't think that she is the usual pharmacist. She listened carefully to my concerns and her reassuring manner set my mind ease. The service I received from her was outstanding. Please pass on my sincerest thanks to her. She is a credit to the business.

Charlie was great during my visit.

I recently visited the pharmacy for a general health profile, and I had the pleasure of being attended to by Charlie. From the start, she was incredibly accommodating and made me feel at ease, especially since this was my first time undergoing this procedure. Charlie took the time to explain everything clearly and patiently, ensuring I understood the process. What truly stood out was her skill with the needle, it was unbelievably painless! Her calm and professional demeanor helped me relax throughout the entire experience. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to guide me through this. Thank you, Charlie, for your exceptional care!!!!!!! She doesn't lie when she says she is good with the needles.

Leslie Pharmacy Staff Member

I visit the Leslie pharmacy regularly and the majority of the staff are wonderful, however, there is one older female staff member who is extremely rude to everyone she serves! Very disrespectful and condescending. Should not be working with the public.
