Yes

CVS at Ridge and Domino Lane is a superior pharmacy...24-hour service, always clean, always friendly...and they are building another CVS on the old Dodgeland site. Domino Lane is the only 24-hour CVS right now, not sure about the upcoming site...

According to the owner of Morrison's, it is the oldest continually operating pharmacy in the state of Pennsylvania, which must make it one of the oldest in the country. 1860 comes to mind. Germantown Pharmacy at Germantown and Manheim is about the same age, strangely enough.

I'm so glad someone mentioned Morrisons Pharmacy on
Ridge Avenue. They are truly a professional group of
people. The pharmacist actually knows what he's
going and the prices are more than fair. They also
have a real scale in the store for the customers
and an easy to use Xerox machine.

Now, concerning that fellow down at the RiteAid.
I'm speaking about the "Shift Supervisor". I go
to RiteAid for many things but, don't use the
pharmacy. The man you're writing about has always
had the same personality and that is NO personality.
One of the cashiers told me that he was transfered
from a North Philadelphia RiteAid. I suggest that
he RETURN to a North Philadelphia RiteAid where
nobody would even notice that he was surly or
never smiled or directed people with his hands.

Down there if you come in and don't rob the place
they're happy. Also, they have more experienced
professional shoplifters in that part of town.

At the Roxborough RideAid If I can't find something
I always ask for Assistant Manager Jan. He DOES
have a good personality and knows where everything
is.

And lastly....to the person who wrote they went to
the RiteAid after visiting Roxborough Memorial Hospital I ask this......what are you c-r-a-z-y ?

Save yourself lots of time and save your health.
Go to Chestnut Hill Hospital....it's a different
world. They are professional people and, while not
perfect, they are a lot better than RMH who are
now "for profit". There is only one emergency room
doctor "on-duty" there during the evening hours
at Roxborough Memorial Hospital. Many of the nurses
at Roxborough Memorial are good but, you have to
wait soooo long. At Chestnut Hill Hospital you are
seen faster and the place is much cleaner.....the
vending machines even work and for the most part
you can understand what the doctor is saying.

I can attest to the fact that RMH emergency room is BAD! Recently my husband was hurt in a fall outside and it was suggested by a doctor who just happened to be passing by and saw what happened that my husband go to an emergency room and get checked out because of the possibility of broken bones. We arrived at the hospital a little after 7p.m. and did not get out of there until 1:30 a.m. It seems there are a lot of people there doing nothing, and yes, there was one doctor on duty.
I have used RMH's emergency room MYSELF quite a few times in the recent past and it was never like this.

Oh, I agree with you on most counts, but in that instance, it was late at night and I don't drive, so RMH was my only option, unfortunately.

They do have some redeeming qualities though. The registrars get you in and out quickly when you're registering for tests and such. I had an x-ray of my feet done last week and I was in and out in less than an hour.

My mother goes to their Physical Therapists a couple of times a week and those girls back there are phenominal. Other than those instances, I seriously try to go somewhere else if I can.


As for Rite-Aid, I must be a glutton for punishment, lol. I was in there a couple of weeks and go and bought these cute little chairs for my son and niece for when we sit out back. The other day I went in and was thinking about getting them a little table as well. When I asked about the prices, because nothing had prices on them, the guy at the register told me he had no idea and that he was busy. I could carry over whatever I'd like and he'd scan it when he got the time.

At that point, I couldn't be bothered and figured I'd just go to Target, which I should have probably done in the first place.

yes Morrison's is open and wonderful. it feels like the good old days in their.
