St. Paul Corner Drug

This pharmacy is a neighborhood gem. Not only do they take care of their customers, they also fight for and advocate for them as well as let them know about their choices. Now is the time to support independent pharmacies! Corporate and private equity owned chain pharmacies do not treat their employees well and you get worse service while paying more money. Thank you St. Paul Corner Drug! Thank you for always being for the people.

We are so fortunate to live near this pharmacy. I was able to schedule family flu shots for myself, my spouse, and my oldest child and we were also able to add on the COVID shots while we were there. Everyone we encountered was incredibly friendly and helpful. My son quickly transitioned into panic mode during the appointment and resorted to kicking once his arms were restrained, however the person doing the vaccinating was still so kind to him and completed the job quickly. The shots were completely painless for me and my husband which has not been my experience at other places.

I've been coming to this pharmacy for about a year and a half now. I have loved the prompt service, the personalized attention and being able to support a small/local business! However my experience getting vaccinated there today has changed my mind. The pharmacist doing vaccinations was huffy, condescending and rude. He was bothered when I asked a clarifying question about the consent form. He rolled his eyes and provided no explanation regarding a choice about my vaccinations; stating only it was "Not Standard of Care". Yes, the pharmacy was busy and he was doing back to back shots so it must have been stressful. But you as a patient facing healthcare professional have a duty to your patients. They deserve kind, respectful, and high quality care. When I called afterwards, I learned that this pharmacist is actually the owner and does 90% of the vaccinations. So I am confident that his attitude will NOT be addressed and I have decided to move my care elsewhere. To this pharmacist/owner I would say: In this situation you have failed to perform up to the standard of the pharmacist's oath. If you don't enjoy working so hands on with patients, consider moving to the back to reduce your time spent face to face with them. If you feel rushed due to the breakneck pace you need to keep vaccinating everyone, perhaps consider offering fewer appointments or planning in breaks.

St. Paul Corner Drug provided a great experience for my family's fall vaccines. We were able to book online, call and talk to a person right away about adding another vaccine to our appointment and my whole family was able to get in at once. Staff were kind and efficient. I love supporting an independent pharmacy!

My children and I went here for our COVID vaccines because they were the only pharmacy that I could find that would vaccinate an under 12 year old and give me the type of vaccine that I preferred (Pfizer). We had a wonderful and easy experience. My son sometimes has issues with vaccines but the pharmacist told him to take a deep breath and then it was done! I couldn't recommend this option more!
