Topkins Pharmacy - Harpenden

Aaron M.

I met Mr Shah from Topkins Pharmacy at an appointment with my GP and he's clearly very knowledgable. Move forward a few weeks and I've just received a call from him to check how I'm doing. That's the personal touch that is lacking in so many businesses now. Remember, you have a choice which Pharmacy to use, so rather than a faceless corporation, why not choose one that actually cares. With that, I thoroughly recommend Topkins on Station Road......just a 30 second walk from Boots!

Excellent service but crazy prices. If you can get what you need on Amazon it will be considerably cheaper. In my case al ost twice the price here :-/

Very friendly and efficient pharmacy. I needed a prescription filled with some urgency late on Saturday afternoon, very close to closing time and the staff here made it happen for me on an afternoon when I had run around Harpenden trying three different pharmacies beforehand. The first did not have my medication in stock, the second closed its pharmacy before the store closing hours, the third closed as closed before the closing hours advertised online. Wish I had gone to Topkins first!

Took a (very nervous) child for a vaccine here yesterday, the experience was so good that said child now says they have no worries at all about having vaccines, as long as they can come here! Apparently, the pharmacist delivers almost painless injections! Very highly recommended.

Mr Shah is a delightful man.

He, and his staff, are professional and polite.

Sitting with my child, as Mr. Shah effortlessly administered the Chicken Pox vaccination, I had time to reflect on how everyone should be doing more to support our independent shops ... it's quite simple - give them more business

I came to this conclusion because of the experience I had with the multichain pharmacy on Harpenden High Street:-

1. Hassle of filling out online appointments for vaccinations.
2. Countless text messages from multichain pharmacy over a period of a week 'reminding' me that I should not miss appointment.
3. Requirement to take child out of school for said appointment.
4. Requirement to take annual leave to take child to said appointment.
5. Turning up for appointment only to be informed that no one in the multichain pharmacy is qualified to administer vaccination.
6. No apology - unbelievable - not even a 'sorry' - how can a business culturally behave this?
7. No solutions provided - just passed from one person to another treating the customer like an inconvenient problem - no comprehension of 'cause and effect'. End result - mental inertia on their behalf.
8. When I proposed that they could consider calling in a qualified Locum Pharmacist that could administer vaccination ... I was simply ignored.

Thank you Mr.Shah - you are brilliant - I wish you, your staff the very best.

In regards to the multichain - read their reviews it seems I am not the only one.

Had great assistance from the team, I really recommend Tompkins Pharmacy. The service is quick as well

Good for passport photos especially for babies and children as pictures are taken with a digital camera and so if children blink, pull faces etc there's no limit to how many times it can be taken unlike the photo booths.
One issue with the entrance in that even though it has a ramp and therefore wheelchair/pushchair accessible it is very steep but staff are helpful.

I have had both a flu vaccine and covid vaccine booster at this pharmacy in the past two months. I have found the staff to be extremely helpful and efficient, and the pharmacist provides quick, painless injections.
