Amcal Point Chevalier Pharmacy

This was my local pharmacy growing up, although I don’t think it was an Amcal at the time. Even if the name up the front has changed and more than likely some of the people inside, this place has been here for decades, and that established history counts for a lot. This has become a place that people can rely on. It’s easy to forget about places that have been there for so long, they just sort of blend into the background. But I have been going to this pharmacy for more than twenty years (Christ), and they continue to look after me and my need for pills and ointments. The faces may have changed but the quality of the service hasn’t, and how many places can you say that about?

I come here on a regular basis for a prescription. I must say the staff are always friendly and they always get my order right. It makes you feel good when you can trust the medical professionals who are looking after you. I also had to get some passport photos taken a while ago and they did a good deal on them — I think it was $ 12 for a set of four photos. I enquired in a photo shop and they quoted me something like $ 20 for a set of 16 — I told them I didn’t bloody want sixteen, I just needed 2 photos for a new passport! Anyway, back to the pharmacy — they have all the products you need such as vitamins to keep you well. Some products might be cheaper in the supermarket but if you have any questions you can ask the staff here who are quite knowledgeable.
