Wyckoff’s Corner Pharmacy wins by delivering the personal touch
Josh Guttman | August 30, 2007
I recently had a prescription to fill with a somewhat hurried deadline. My current insurance coverage was nearing its end and I wanted to get them to pay one last claim. I visited Duane Reade and CVS, but neither had the drug in stock, and furthermore, couldn?t provide any reassurance that it would be ordered and received in time. Walking home frustrated, I decided to check out the independent pharmacy on Court and Wyckoff. I had passed Wyckoff?s Corner Pharmacy hundreds of times, but on the few occasions I perused the shelves, it struck me as an odd store with a paltry selection. I approached the pharmacist, Bassam, on the off chance they could order and fill the prescription in less time. To my surprise, he had it in stock. Moreover, he told me that he uses a digital ordering system (unlike the larger chains), so if it hadn?t been in stock, he could have had it for me in two days. Amazing. With this one experience, this business won me over. It quickly became clear to me that this little independent pharmacy delivers a level of personal care and attention that I had never received at the larger chains. Not only do they fill prescriptions fast and efficiently, they deliver them to your home!! A top 10 rating on Yelp! shows that other people have also recognized Wyckoff?s top notch service. The next time you need a prescription filled, check out Wyckoff?s Corner Pharmacy. They are part of the reason we love living in this neighborhood.
Wyckoff?s Corner Pharmacy is located at 205 Court Street. Their phone number is (718) 923-1122.

You’ll get a similarly high and uplifting level of service at the Clinton Apothecary on the corner of President and Clinton.
Also, their prices for health and beauty aids and offbeat but necessary items like folding brushes and such are less than the chains.
Best,

I needed to have a prescription filled for a rare ailment. None of the pharmacies in the neighborhood had the meds in stock but the pharmacist at Clinton Apothecary offered to obtain it for me so I could have it the next day.
CVS is my neighbor but I still go to Clinton Apothecary. It’s a nice walk and prices are indeed lower compared to CVS (e.g. cotton swabs for approx.$1/100).
