Ava Pharmacy is a tremendous discovery in the Yonge Street/ St.Clair Avenue East neighbourhood! Conveniently located within the mall at 81 St.Clair Avenue East, it is a well-stocked and welcoming place to visit for all your pharmaceutical and health-related needs. Manal Kelada, the pharmacist/owner and manager, is a courteous, knowledgeable, and informed professional. Manal cares about her customers. She provides customer-convenient hours of operation and prompt, dependable service. She anticipates the needs of her customers with an adequate inventory of products to address their health requirements. Manal is an efficient professional with a warm friendly manner. She takes the time necessary to address the questions raised by her customers with current scientific comment and, if appropriate, recommendations. If you want your health-related inquiries and health needs met in a thoughtful, respectful, and informed manner, I highly recommend Ava Pharmacy.

We are very fortunate to have Ava Pharmacy, a woman-owned business, in our neighbourhood. Manal Kelada, the owner and manager, is a highly competent, professional, knowledgeable and experienced pharmacist. She is very friendly and accommodating. One significant advantage of her pharmacy is that she is always on site. This ensures that she gets to know her customers and can provide consistency of service.She always takes the time to answer any questions, to find the right product, and to meet the needs of her customers. Her store is well-stocked with a wide variety of medical, non-medical, and self-care products. From the onset of the COVID pandemic, she has worked tirelessly to secure necessary products, such as masks, sanitizers and essential household products, in order to keep us safe and healthy. There is no better pharmacy in the Yonge/St.Clair/Avoca neighbourhood

Outstanding pharmacy in the St. Clair and Yonge Area. Ava Pharmacy is a hidden gem tucked away inside the Sobey’s plaza. Manel, the lovely owner, pharmacist is an unparalleled professional, caring pharmacist. She can’t do enough for her clients which means so much considering our pandemic reality. Luckily I happened upon her when I first moved into the neighbourhood. I never plan to leave her care. She took my health and medical needs under her wing and diligently sought sources to make certain that I have all the medications that I need. There were issues during the quarantine regarding limited access to some medication but Manel ploughed through all obstacles. Further given my vulnerable, high risk status she personally delivered my meds to my home right from the start. SHE HAD NEVER EVEN MET ME! Ava Pharmacy with Manel at the helm cannot be surpassed.

I am very pleased that I left the "big box" experience of dealing with a pharmacy and have gone to sole owner/proprietor. Manal - Pharmacist and owner - is a joy to deal with. Extremely knowledgeable, professional, caring, friendly - knows her customers very well and during the time of covid-19 has gone above and beyond to assist when my family or I needed extra help - whether with delivery or getting things ready for pickup. Do yourselves a favour and consider making a switch - as I strongly believe you will experience the same.

  • Cenn “Carbonel” Vekt

Ava Pharmacy is an independently owned gem in this little plaza. The store has everything you could need and the pharmacist Manal is an efficient and caring professional. She is extremely helpful, courteous and has always put in the effort to make sure the care is top notch every time I've gone in. Before this place I've only dealt with pharmacists who are extremely impersonal. In the future I doubt I'll find a pharmacist who will meet the high bar that this business has set for me.

  • Beverly G.

Manal, the pharmacist at Ava Pharmacy, is a one of a kind gem. She is one of the most caring, kind and concerned pharmacists I’ve ever met and she truly cares about her patients. Although the store isn’t huge and therefore the selection is limited, it’s wonderful to browse the shelves because there are all kinds of items here that you wouldn’t find in a chain store drugstore. And if you can’t find it, Manal will get it in if she can. Really wish all pharmacists were like her!

  • ANNE TAIT

Manal Kelada is a really superior pharmacist. She is very knowledgeable about prescriptions, is concerned about my health, gives extra advice about when to take pills, and gives me cost-saving suggestions. During the pandemic, she's even offered to bring prescriptions to my nearby apartment. I much prefer this personal and caring service to the big drug store chains... and she carries a good assortment of personal care products too. We are lucky to have you, Manal!

  • Diana Manole

Manal, the pharmacist at Ava Pharmacy, is a knowledgeable professional and a very kind individual. She's helped me many times and always makes me feel as if any question I may have about my health and possible treatment is very important. Also, she's never given me the feeling that she was trying to make me spend more money than needed. I go there often because many over-the-counter pills and creams are cheaper than at the chain drugstores.

  • Barb S

Manal is fabulous, empathetic and what you would expect from a pharmacist -- the technicians at the larger pharmacies are nothing more than order takers and you won't find that with Manal. My guess is that any non-stellar reviews are from the previous owner. Manal took over a few years ago and even though I moved from the area, she will continue to be my pharmacist. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my health!

  • Jo P.

Now that I've found this small, independent neighborhood pharmacy, I realize the difference in the care provided by Ava Pharmacy versus big chain pharmacies where I'm just a number. The pharmacist here is not only super knowledgeable and competent, but caring, patient centered, diligent, responsive, dedicated and compassionate. Thank you for everything you do!

  • Chuck D.

Manal, the new pharmacist is incredibly lovely to deal with. Always polite and knowledgeable, and I'm sure under her care, the pharmacy will be a success! I've been going to this pharmacy for over 5 years and even under the previous management, I have never seen anyone rude or sleeping or didn't care, so more than likely a competitor leaving a faux review.

  • Skye Moore

I have been coming to Ava Pharmacy for almost 3 years and Manal is the most caring, thorough, and helpful pharmacist I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Ava Pharmacy offers an exceptional range of personal care products, in addition to amazing customer service. My family has also received excellent care from Manal, and we couldn't be happier! I

  • Theresa Bubis

I very much recommend Ava Pharmacy and the pharmacist, Manal in particular. She is very attentive, friendly and helpful. For example, during the first lockdown, Manal offered to drive out of her way to deliver my prescription! Who does that these days? Dispensing fees are considerable more reasonable that the big companies. Definitely worth it.

  • Devin Donegani

One of the most professionally integral pharmacies in the country. Ava Pharmacy is fast, reliable, and a safe space for all. I can trust Ava Pharmacy to care for all of my needs as an important member of my Healthcare team. All the staff are very personable as well as professional. A small, local, family operated business, I HIGHLY recommend!

  • Jane Hutcheson

Very knowledgeable, great customer service, reliable and recognizes me every time I come in. On principle, I like to support independent businesses in my neighbourhood, but they have to earn it. Ave Pharmacy has done that over and over again. Thanks for all you do, especially in these tough times. You are on the front line!

  • Janis Rubenzahl

Delighted to have found Ava Pharmacy in the Towne Centre at 79 St Clair Ave West. I moved my prescriptions from the nearby Shoppers Drug Mart and I love the individualized attention. Manal, the owner and pharmacist is attentive and helpful. I love their online vaccination booking portal on the website!

  • Bayla Gross

We have been grateful clients ever since the pharmacy opened. The current owner/pharmacist is knowledgeable, friendly and extremely caring. She even phoned me the day after filling a prescription to see how I was! This degree of personal service is a rare find to-day.

  • Tom

I went at 6.30pm on Thursday. Some 50 odd year old rude lady was asleep on a chair out the back. No joke. I told her not to get up and asked her a question and she asked "how stupid are you?......are you serious?" I was left speechless. FACT.

  • Ahmed Alkaddour

Manal is not only a superb and knowledgeable pharmacist but also a very hospitable and kind person. She makes you feel she's known you for a long time. She's helped me with my various medical needs in a timely fashion. Best pharmacy in area.

  • Carrie Hargrave

Manal runs a fantastic little pharmacy. She is very knowledgeable and takes the time to get to know her customers. She is always happy and friendly whenever I pick up my prescriptions. So happy I found this pharmacy. A+ service.

  • Nomi Berger

Under this new management, Ava shines! The pharmacist is kind, knowledgeable and spends whatever time is needed to make you, the customer, trust her advice and feel confident when filling your prescriptions, both old and new.

  • Suzanne Weiss

Ava pharmacy and its chief pharmacist is a family oriented service for which I am thankful. There are three other pharmacies in the area, but Ava pharmacy by far is the best if you are looking for personal service.

  • Vince Dumond

Manal Kelada runs an efficient and friendly pharmacy. This pharmacy, across from Sobeys Urban Fresh near the St. Claire subway station, is everything the positive comments brag about. It deserves a 5 star rating.

If our healthcare could function half as well as Ava Pharmacy I think we would all be very thankful. Manal is amazing, so thorough and up to date. I’m blessed to be a client.
