Very helpful and friendly staff.Never a problem. Even order in advance,if your requirement is a long term medicine,preventing you being disappointed with further prescriptions. Best pharmacy in Abingdon.Pharmacies are the very important link between doctor and patient,and need to be reliable. At Avicenna,you can be assured of that.👍

Used this Pharmacy twice in the last couple of months when visiting my mother-in-law. Helpful, courteous and efficient in comparison to a well known national name. Now my ‘go-to’ pharmacy in Abingdon!

I had to wait over 30 minutes to speak to someone, despite the fact that there were more staff behind the counter than there were customers queuing.

I was informed that my appointment was cancelled because the pharmacist was on holiday and the locum was not qualified.

This feels like something they should have known about before the day and been able to contact me in advance, rather than wasting my time.

Sometimes long waiting times but friendly team who are happy to help. Conveniently close to the nearby doctor surgery.

Just came back from my latest and last visit to this pharmacy, never going back there again.
This used to be a good pharmacy but lately they can’t keep up with the workload and you have to wait for around half an hour to get a prescription that was sent to them a week before.
But that’s not the dealbreaker here, the staff is so rude! When I complained about the long wait I got a loud response from the back of the pharmacy that I can change my nominated pharmacy if I’m not happy. Well that’s what I’ve just did!

Collect my prescription every month, always good service, never had an issue and always on time without fail. Seeing some of the bad reviews makes me wonder what is going on with people as the team are always polite. I have overheard patients be unpleasant towards the staff when they try to explain they don't have an item in stock which is out of their control and the staff members are still being nice trying to offer multiple different options for them to have their medication ASAP. Even with the 'Anti-Abuse' poster on clear view, doing a very difficult job they seem to still get abuse more often than not.
More appreciation needs to be shown in a job that is not easy and when people are trying their very best. Rudeness has been made to become the norm.
Appreciate what workers are trying to do for you, being kind and patient costs nothing, being kind will get you a long way and will make employee's go above and beyond to help.

I usually get my private flu jabs at Boots, but they didn't have any slots till mid-Dec so I booked one at Avicenna. Although everything was done fairly quickly, the pharmacist didn't show any human skills. A stark contrast with Boots pharmacists who are always very friendly and accommodating, plus they also disinfect the skin before injecting, offer a plaster and suggest to hang around for 10 min after the jab, in case one gets dizzy. I didn't get any of that at Avicenna, although the pharmacist did remember to sanitise their hands when she was done with me. Hence, two stars

Very efficient service and polite when I have been there, even though some customers were rather impatient and taking problems with their prescriptions out on the staff who proceeded to help them. My prescriptions have always been ready unlike when I used Tesco. I'm surprised at the negative reviews as they have always been very nice to me.
