Independent Pharmcy Vs Chain Pharmacy

How my independent pharmacy experience differs from my chain pharmacy experiences.

*Consistently fully staffed to meet ALL patient needs at an independent pharmacy.
*Specialized products (vet, hormone, child, doses, etc) available at an independent pharmacy.
*Stronger community connection at an independent pharmacy.
*More time to provide information and care at an independent pharmacy.
*Better trusted resource for drug information among physicians and patients at an independent pharmacy.
*Stronger patient/pharmacist relationships with more patients at an independent pharmacy.
*Ability to make own decisions and choices about patient care or business ongoings at an independent pharmacy.
*Stronger focus of patient well being at an independent pharmacy.
*Stronger family and welcoming atmosphere at an independent pharmacy.
