Great service and extremely professional staff. Me and my husband just got our vaccines and the whole process was really smooth and stress free. They have thoroughly explained the procedure and the team was absolutely friendly. Keep doing the great work and would highly recommend this place to other people 🙂

Gabriela Apostu

We’re very lucky having a pharmacy locally, with such helpful staff. Being able to telephone or just pop in to request my dad’s prescription means no GP telephone queues do a win/win all round.

Michelle Patis

I regularly visit Puri Pharmacy for my kids prescriptions and thanks to the staff who are very helpful. I never had to wait for long. I recommended others to use this pharmacy for the excellent service. Once they queried my GP about my son’s prescription and got it changed due to previous allergic reaction.
