I have used Village Apothecary for years beginning when I lived in NYC and even now since living in other cities for a number of years. I would NEVER consider using ANY other pharmacy. Never. The folks that run VA are absolutely AMAZING. They are phenomenal people. They are like angels. And they treat their customers like family. They are not only incredibly kind but very knowledgeable as well as extremely dedicated to the service they provide their customers. They consistently go way above and beyond the call of duty. They go out of their way to find creative and effective solutions to prescription challenges. They are always a step ahead and I have never had to follow up because they are always proactive and on top of it. I quit worrying about my medications and prescriptions years ago because I know that the Village Apothecary team has my back . No other pharmacy even comes close to the Village Apothecary. I have recommended them to everyone I know and literally all Of those friends say the same thing that I do…”Wow…amazing!”. Yes, the Village Apothecary IS truly amazing.

I have a long happy history using this pharmacy. Unlike the corporate chains, Apothecary feels like home, a family business, part of the neighborhood. I've known some of the employees for 20 years. It's important to me that they know my health history, and what medications don't go with my usual regimen. Best of all, they help me navigate the bureaucratic, obstacle course that is the American health care system. I don't know about over their over-the-counter items, but when it comes to prescription drugs and their side effects & interactions, I know I'm in good hands. With so many "mom-and-pop" stores being swallowed up by big business & gentrification, it's important to me to support stores like Village Apothecary when they've earned my business.

I have been a loyal client for over 30 years...Village Apothecary has dealt with the underlying issues that involves much more than just filling your prescriptions. Insurance regulations/prior approvals/etc. I appreciate the fact that they call the doctor's office and handle that for me. I'm not sure the chain pharmacists will do that for you...you might be told..."you'll need to have your doctor's office send over a new prescription, you have no more refills" then come back later and pick it up....really? I could go on and on about my wonderful relationship that has developed over the years...take a walk over, look at their website, meet the staff. You'll see for yourself what a pleasure it is using Village Apothecary.

  • Felicia Layne

Stephanie was friendly and accommodating in gathering items for allergy and sinus issues I needed delivered to my daughter attending NYU. Her patience and personable communication skills were greatly appreciated. I will highly recommend Village Apothecary to all the NYU students and staff I encounter in need of a personal care pharmacy. It will be a top priority to stop in personally my next visit into the Village to shop Village Apothecary and say, "hello," and deliver a big, "thank you!"

  • Bruce Miller

Long Overdue Review! THE. BEST. PHARMACY. I have been going here for years - they go above and beyond to help you. You know the pharmacists and staff -- like true health care pros -- they do everything to accommodate your needs. We are lucky to have an Independent Pharmacy like this in Manhattan. Special shout out to John and Alex (two of the pharmacists) who treat me with total respect, professionalism, and kindness

  • Kevin Joyce

Village Apothecary is a boutique high end and high touch operation. They just went through a major renovation that looks fantastic. What is best about them is their caring a knowledgeable staff! Big box pharmacies are not in the same league. They always make you feel like family. They always get prescriptions to me on time as promised. It is a absolute pleasure to see such a well run vibrant establishment.

  • Michael Johnson

Excellent, very personal service. A true neighborhood gem. It's so important to have establishments such as Village Apothecary in our neighborhood, ones that know their customers and have been here for them for years. And also the shop is very cute, with a very well-curated selection of medical and beauty products--from band-aids to Provençal soaps. It's also generally cheaper than the chain pharmacies.

  • D. StevensNYC

Village Apothacary has been there for me thru thick and thin for the past 20 yrs. Their friendly service and “can do”attitude…along with their deep well of compassion… has kept me as a customer no matter where I lived in the city, where I traveled to or whatever emergency occurred. These guys and gals are worth more than gold. I only wish I could return the many many kindnesses they have shown me.

  • Antonio Gonzalez

I was denied medication for my sick 13 year old dog. I was told by a woman named MITA said that due to a dosage change they would be unable to fill this script. After trying to tell her she was reading the script wrong I just left. She wouldn't listen. I call my vet an they confirmed the dosage was the same. Be careful check your scripts who knows what else has been misread.

  • Big Fat Dave

They are the best…great customer service. They seem to be really invested in making sure I get everything I need and and get it on time. Always helpful working with my insurance and with troubleshooting issues if they arise, which is rare because they’re so on top of things. Good location…very pleasant atmosphere. Can’t imagine going elsewhere now.

  • Gina Albano

I love Village Apothecary. I’ve been coming here for years. A Very friendly staff as well as they always have my script n vitamins. Local delivery offered as well. Cool candles and gifts, if one needs to pick up something for a friend as well as necessities to choose from for oneself. Shop here. I highly recommend. Support your local pharmacy.

  • Russel Azueta

The pharmacists and their support staff are welcoming, knowledgeable , and compassionate. The service is Exceptional! Thank you all for being there for us.

  • Rena Rosenfeld

I have been a customer for over 30 years. Norman Saban has been a lifesaver. I am 75 years young and have a number of medical conditions. Norman helps me when I get nervous and afraid. Norman is very patient explaining each of the medicines to me. It’s nice to know that Norman and Village apothecary are part of my family. Thank you Rena

  • asnyc

I have been a customer at the Village Apothecary for more than 35 years and it is a remarkable institution. I am very grateful to them for all their care. The staff are all wonderful people and they have always been reliable, responsible, and very kind. One cannot ask for a better community resource than the Village Apothecary.

  • Kenneth Ard

They are personable, knowledgeable, professional! They really do go above and beyond any other pharmacy I have ever experienced in their customer service. They’ll give a call when your prescriptions are ready, and ship them to you if you’re not available to pick them up in person. Village Apothecary gets all the stars!

  • MusicBruce

This is a true "mom & pop" local business. I've been filling my prescriptions here for years and would never think of going anywhere else. They offer personal service that is unsurpassed. Norman & the whole staff are the best! Highly recommended. AND free delivery too!

  • David Breeden

I love Village Apothecary. I don’t even live in the West Village, but make the trip there for all my prescription drug needs. The always cordial, knowledgeable and helpful staff at Village Apothecary help create a more refined and pleasant shopping experience.

  • Gf

The best pharmacy in the City. Professional, considerate and efficient. Been using them for complex RX needs. The personal attention and knowledge of my needs are far above big chain pharmacies and the free delivery is so helpful. Can't recommend more highly.

  • AltRockLover

This pharmacy puts every chain pharmacy to absolute shame! Excellent, personalized service, they truly value your business and will jump over hoops to keep you coming back. For me, there simply IS no other pharmacy in NYC besides Village Apothecary.

  • Joyce Bernstein

I love this “old fashioned” apothecary. I get to support a small local business. Extremely nice and caring people. Not a chain store loaded with locked cases you have to find someone to unlock when you need a simple staple like a bar of soap.

  • Nest Cabalan

Staff are helpful and kind. They usually called when my medication is ready and explain thoroughly about it. Very much satisfied with their friendly services.and Thank you Arnel Molina we appreciate your efficiency to help us in everyway.

  • Tom Creacy

Less expensive than Walgreens/DuaneReade for many commercial items. Prescription drugs are most always in stock, while Walgreen is often out of stock. A wonderful array of specialty goods. Friendly & helpful full staff.

  • Deametrice Eyster

The people who staff Village Apothecary are like friends. They get to know a person and take care of the needs of that person in a timely manner. I‘’be been going there for 20 years and have never been disappointed.
