The Larchwood team has always provided us with outstandingly good service: whether it’s questions we ask or requests we make by phone or in person, home delivery of prescription medications, or when we have required other support such as the fitting of a blood pressure monitor. Kajal, the Pharmacy Manager, leads by example and has set a very high bar, blending efficiency, empathy and charm in perfect proportions. Thank you so very much!Posted on Mary SalterTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A very friendly and knowledgeable pharmacy.
