Carry Pharmacy

This place is located off the beaten path in Jersey City. Parking can be very difficult with schools nearby and construction. Staff is nice and helpfull. The only concern
Is be prepared because your prescription
Will not be filled same day. Typically it takes a few days to a week and make sure you call ahead of time so your time is not wasted.
Disregard the previous squid. Smells fishy.

Very few times in my life have I had a retail experience as upsetting and surreal as my recent experience at Carry Pharmacy. After a discussion with a friend about the importance of supporting local businesses, I decided to go to a mom and pop pharmacy instead of Duane Reade and the story I’m about to relate conclusively proves «no good deed goes unpunished.»
I dropped off the script without incident. When I came back ten minutes later to pick up I was told that it cost $ 25.00 more than at a chain store, («no big deal,» thought I, «I will get reimbursed by the insurance company,» noting that this may be a major reason why people avoid mom and pop stores). But I digress. I asked the owner if he had noted the refills and he tersely told me that I needed to have my doctor call him because the refills had been written in by hand. I asked to see the prescription and, indeed, my doctor had written «x5» by hand. I said no problem, I would have him call, could I have a business card so I had the number and take a photo of the script so I could be specific when speaking to my doctor.
This is where is it got weird. The owner snatched back the filled prescription and started screaming — bellowing — at the top of his lungs, «I will not fill this for you! Go someplace else!» I was so surprised and confused that I mentally toggled back and forth between asking him why he suddenly wouldn’t fill it and why he was screaming. After his rant showed no sign of abating, I settled on the latter question. «Forget about why you don’t want to fill it even though you already did,» I asked quietly, «but why are you screaming at me?» I am not a soft spoken person but the more out of control he became, the quieter I got. «But why are you so upset?»
In terms of understanding what was happening, the closest I could get was when he barked «your doctor is an idiot!» which didn’t bother me, as I sort of agree, but still. «But even if he is, why are you screaming at me?» At a certain point, I decided to try and change the subject, as my mind had turned to the question of how a small business owner could afford to treat customers so abusively. «Okay, forget about that first question for a second,» I said. «Can I ask you something else?» But before I even began the question, he told me to leave the store or he would throw me out! I swear I am not being hyperbolic. The owner is certifiably insane.
At this point I just left the store, but not before telling him I thought he needed a Valium far more than I did and promising to leave appropriate feedback on Unilocal.
For the love of God, avoid this store unless you are a masochist or thrill seeker looking for a retail alternative to electro shock therapy.

Disregard the previous complaint. I’ve been to carry pharmacy and they’ve been great. I went to the doctors to get meds and in less than 15 minutes they were ready. Medicare fraud is a serious problem, but do not think that Carry pharmacy is a type of place that would do that.

Best Jersey City Pharmacy! Reliable, and honest (they DID make a mistake– but they were honest about it AND corrected it) They also order fast and make sure they have what I need in stock.
I used Newport and would never go back there. As a New Yorker, I know what rude is and Newport is horrible compared to Carry. Newport is the place is you want carelessness and lying. Carry is friendly and makes sure you come back.
Carry like any pharmacy is human which means that they make mistakes– But they were happy to correct it for me. As a patient, you need to check your bottle.
Carry was also really nice to me– They also made me feel like my medication was not something I have to convince them into ordering. I would highly recommend them after a disaster that I had at Newport Pharmacy who actually did commit fraud.
There are very few options in the area– and Carry should be the one you go to. I am an active person with chronic pain and so I need to rely on a pharmacy that will keep me moving. They are excellent.
