This is the greatest pharmacy in the Washington DC area

I will never go anywhere else. I am the mother of 2 young children and have, out of habit, been going to CVS for years. My youngest child was recently sick and the doctor finally suggested that I buy, versus borrow, a nebulizer. The prescription was written for the machine and accompanying medication. After a long, difficult afternoon trying to get everything straight with CVS, I finally gave up. I called The Medicine Chest, 15 minutes before they were closing. They spoke directly with CVS, transferred all of the prescriptions over, stayed open late and filled every single one. They even gave me several nebulizer masks to make the process easier for my 4 year old to take the medication. I have since been back a couple of times and every time, the experience is the same - EXCEPTIONAL. They are helpful, knowledgeable and they recognize that getting a prescription likely means that someone is sick - so they are extra patient and caring.
