    The most incompetent staff I’ve ever experienced in any business ever! Definitely not the sort of people you want handling your personal information. Absolutely useless, took them nearly an hour to locate a simple ordered to store item. They even believed someone may have took it! I was also asked for my full address in front of all the other customers, which I didn’t feel safe giving, especially after volunteering my ID and giving my order number - to which they said they don’t receive order numbers (!?), (the customers were screaming at one another and threatening violence, with the counter assistant literally just shrugging). It’s safe to say I’ll be ordering my prescriptions to a safer, and better staffed, environment next time, because I certainly can’t face going back there.

    Very nasty and abrupt lady pharmacist who is neither a competent or knowledgeable individual. I do not recommend to anyone who cares about their healthcare or that of their loved ones. Please avoid.

    More interested in finishing a conversation and drinking tea that serving a customer. I will not be coming back.

    Rude, inconsiderate and snappy. How is this an NHS approved pharmacy? Don't trust with personal information.

    They don't care about their patients. You always have to wait a couple of days for your prescription and when you go to pick it up they still don't have it because the main problem in the pharmacy is their chit chat not to order your medicine. The Pharmacist is very rude and careless especially when you do a complaint. Highly NOT recommend, never ever in this life

    Good chemist with parscriptions collection and delivery service. No parking due to yellow lines and little off street parking. Prices are keen due to competition very close by.

The person who carried out the procedure was very pleasant and informative. I was shown before and after pictures .. hearing much better now - thanks 👍

    My experience at this pharmacy has always been impeccable. The staff recognise me when I arrive and always remember previous conversations. My waiting time is always minimal and the knowledge shown when asking questions is extremely high. I wouldn’t think twice about recommending this pharmacy to anyone

    I went to the pharmacy to use the ear wax removal service and it was great. I got a same day appointment which was brilliant! They made me feel comfortable throughout the process and were happy to answer any questions I had. Great service to have, would definitely recommend.

    This pharmacy delivers an outstanding level of service. The pharmacist, dispensers, and owner demonstrate exceptional knowledge, helpfulness, and friendliness. They consistently prioritize providing an exemplary customer experience. Medications are promptly supplied, and the pharmacy maintains a well-stocked inventory. Moreover, their commitment to dispensing medication on time and sending timely alerts is highly commendable.

    Fantastic service, both ears cleaned of wax in a pleasant and efficient procedure. I was talked through the entire process and shown videos of what my ears looked like before and after. If you are troubled by ear wax I couldn't recommend this service highly enough. Thank you.

    I want to thank Ms Neem Pharmacist for examining my sore ear and providing a solution to heal the ear. I made a last minute appointment and was seen same day. After i received the required medication and it helped to relieve the pain. Thank you for professionalism and true knowledge to fix my problem. Was a great experience.

    After initially popping in for advice regarding ear wax, I went back a week later after applying oil for a few days. The service was excellent and the staff are great, I would highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Hollinside Homes L. 8 months ago on Google
    After coming back from holiday, had an issue with ear wax and needed an appointment urgently. Looked online and came across Bensham Pharmacy. From start to finish a fabulous and most welcoming team and service. I booked online very simple, then got a pre booking confirmation and call. Then on arrival the team were terrific. Made the whole experience simple and straightforward. There pricing is competitive and the best around and I did check. Everyone I cannot recommend Bensham Pharmacy enough. Keep up the great work and will certainly be using you again. Thank you. David Lowes
