There is something to be said about what the previous reviewer considers a museum for merchandise. The antiques on display in the store convey more meaning than she is apparently capable of understanding. They reveal the owner's philosophy on life and treatment of customers. Ken has been my families pharmacist for over 50 years. From helping with a biology project when I was in high school to the recent loss of my father, Ken has been there with sound advice for my family's health that worked! On a visit home with my infant daughter the formula the doctor recommended wasn't working well. A trip to Ken's was in order. He suggested I try something rather old fashioned instead of purchasing soy formula the pediatrician wanted me to buy. Pet milk. It worked remarkably well and was much more economical than the soy formula the doctor suggest I try. The baby is now in her thirties and thriving. If you want shiny new The Medicine Chest is probably not your pharmacy. I personally love the antiques and prefer caring pharmacists and employees who have become trusted advisors for my family's health to employees of a large corporation who don't care about me or my problems.

Is this a real pharmacy or a museum for merchandise from years past? Every time I have been there, they have the same exact packages of typing paper, dusty bow ribbons, jerky and Vitalis Hair Tonic for men. This might be vintage-like and cute, but it's not. It feels icky. The rude pharmacists make it all the worse. I don't think they really want our business. They have a lot to learn about customer service.
