Independent pharmacies place a heavy emphasis on service but what sets them apart is the value they add to their local community. Here are just a few of the benefits of using Independent Pharmacies:

• Great Customer Service: “Our staff takes the time to get to know our customers on a personal level,” says Kelly Rea, pharmacist at Buford Road Pharmacy. “We know that taking a lot of different medications can be very scary. We’ll sit down with our customers to look at potential interactions, side effects, and help them make sure they’re being compliant with their medication.”
• Cost Savings: A lot of people will stop taking medications when they can’t afford them. We take the extra time to sit down with our customer to find less expensive alternatives that will provide comparable results.
• Insurance: Most people think that their insurance will not be accepted at independent pharmacies. The reality is that the majority of third parties are accepted at independent pharmacies and the coverage is by and large the same.

Buford Road Pharmacy prides itself on going above what most independent pharmacies do by providing extra value and improving our community. Here are some of those extra services we provide for the Richmond community:

• Free Delivery (within 10 miles): If you can’t get to us, we’ll come to you. This is great for seniors or anyone not able to get out of their house.
• Free Screenings: Monitoring your blood pressure and glucose is important to your health. Every Tuesday morning we offer free blood pressure and blood glucose screenings at the pharmacy.
• Compounding & Flavoring: We can custom compound or flavor your personal and veterinary medications.
