Triboro Pharmacy

The owner as I see it has an attitude. In my opinion he is unprofessional to say it politely.

I have been to Triboro Pharmacy many times and have had many interactions with the owner and his workers and they always remember my name and take an interest in my interests, not just what medications I am taking which make me feel VALUED and CARED for. Plus he always calls me to remind me of my refills and reminds me when my refills run out and he calls the doctor on my behalf. You can’t ask for a better pharmacy! It’s a nice change from the indifference you find here in Astoria. I love Triboro!

TRIBORO PHARMACY is the BEST, they give you quality service. Smart, helpful & a pleasure to go there. Thank you TRIBORO.

Found this place out of necessity while looking for aloe vera to treat a sunburn. Tried the CVS down the street and they were out of stock. I was happy to have found Triboro! From the moment we walked in John was helpful and provided input on which product was best for my needs. He suggested a slightly more expensive brand that was all natural, and actually reviewed the ingredients to show how much of a value it was. I’ve actually tried several brands of aloe vera in the past and never liked the gelly texture, but the brand John recommended was 1000x better than what I’ve had in the past. Well worth the extra $ 2-​$ 3. And when we told John we had just moved to the neighborhood he spent about ten minutes with us giving tips on where to eat, where to shop, etc. Made me feel like I was actually living in a smaller neighborhood where people look out for one another. Overall great experience. I recommend this pharmacy for the personal touch, which is so often lacking in most stores, chains or mom and pops.

greatest pharmacy in the area by far. they keep your medications in stock and are very personable/​understanding of medical needs.

I went to 7 different big name pharmacies that refused to order my medicine or said that it would take 2 weeks to come in. I walked Into triboro during a nightly walk and figured I would just check and see if they had my meds and they ordered it for me and had it the next morning! That’s service! The owners are extremely helpful and nice. Skip the big name pharmacy and go straight to triboro, you won’t regret it.

Have to say it again that this is the only place I’d get anything filled in NYC. The owner and his staff actually care about helping people. Big chains only care about numbers and complicated rules. This small pharmacy knows its customers and they truly think of you as a person! I’ve been with them now for years, they’re great. And btw, they are located in Astoria but they serve BK, Manhattan, and Queens.

My new local pharmacy and reliable neighborhood ear. John is the most logical, friendly, and compassionate pharmacist I have ever met. Hardworking and always available, John gives you first class service with a friendly atmosphere.
I have stopped filling at corporate pharmacies for many reasons, but John has helped with all of them. Quick, stocked, and simple, Triboro pharmacy rocks!

John is very personable, professional and friendly. I prefer to support small businesses and Triboro is a prime example. They have a quick turn around for prescriptions and are always stocked with anything I need!

I’m loving having Triboro Pharmacy’s Principle, John, and his team as a local, independent partner in my pharmaceutical management/​supply. They’re friendly, personable, and will knock themselves out to accommodate you in a moment’s notice. I’m always proud to do business with an independent business, and their friendly, neighborhood spirit is a wonderful reward/​gift. They also also a great resource for notary and fax services in a pinch!

Just moved to the neighborhood and could not be more impressed with this place!!! Coming from North Carolina, I first tried the major chain pharmacies (both CVSs and Rite Aid) to fill a prescription that requires a prior authorization. All three times, I was rudely told the RX wasn’t in stock and it would take around a week to get in, plus another 2 – 3 days for the authorization to process, despite the fact that I need the RX by tomorrow. I then called Triboro Pharmacy where John instantly picked up (no 5 minute automated messages of «press 1 for,» «press 2 for,» etc.) and he informed me my RX was in stock at his location. When I got there, he was incredibly nice and hospitable. Despite being obviously quite busy, he dropped everything he was doing, made the necessary calls to fill my prescription and I walked out with it less than 15 minutes later. The service could not be beat! I try to support locally run businesses anyways, but it makes it so much easier when they treat you with great service and appreciation in return.
So happy to have this place within 2 blocks of my new apartment! Highly recommend!!!

It a new addition to Ditmars blvd. Friendly staff. Good for prescriptions.

when I went into this pharmacy I made an unfortunate discovery. I never knew a human could be so rude and unhospitable to their own costumer. They seemed nice at first but when I asked for some help grew very irritable with me. When I asked again, they became straight out rude. Also I went in there before a long time ago, maybe 5 months, and they had all new girls. It seems suspious. Overall, an unprofessional and unsatisfying experience. I’ll stick to my current provider; Crown Pharmacy. I recommend it to all! Ask for Chris, he’s the best.

The worst pharmacy I have been at, the lady was very helpful but the owner was very rude, passed comments on my nationality on 2 occasions, that guy should not be dealing with the public, I will take my business elsewhere.

Sorry to hear that one person wrote such a negative review based on one situation.
Today was my first visit and I am with the rest of you the service was wonderful and personable as I walked in the door. Staff is super friendly and John is a life saver. A pharmacy that delivers for free, has reasonable prices for the non-​insured, and a Notary Public, plus other goodies (a wide variety of chocolates… jackpot) well it just doesn’t get any better than that.
I am sold and will proceed to have my prescriptions transferred here from Duane Reade.
I also agree 110% that we need to support the small businesses. I am not use to such personable service in NY. GOTTA LOVE ASTORIA!!!

WORST PHARMACY EVER! Tried to transfer to a new pharmacy closer to my apartment and they refuse to transfer the full prescription over. They only transfer the prescription each month after several calls. While a customer there the owner was very pushy and aggressive. Absolutely unprofessional and inappropriate. DO NOT GO HERE.

Not only are the pharmacists at Triboro Pharmacy friendly, they’re incredibly well educated about all medications and interactions. They show empathy and personal concern for each and every one of their patients. They always help people in the neighborhood in any way they can, whether it’s a deal on a price or a great place to eat in the area. Triboro Pharmacy is a true gem in Astoria. We need more places like this and desperately need to help these business owners to stay thriving.

Very friendly.

I agree, this place is really wonderful. I just moved to the area and was so happy to stumble upon this place while picking up a few necessities. They deliver (for free!) which is awesome for when you’re at your most sick and can’t go out. Their prices are more than reasonable. I’ve unfortunately been sick twice in the month that I’ve been here and they have taken the time to answer all my questions and give me everything I need. They care about their customers, not the money… how refreshing in this day and age.

The customer serve is absolutely all you can ever imagine from a pharmacy! I’ve been to other pharmacies in the area and on one treats me as well as the pharmacist and his technicians do. They tend to all your needs, and every questions or concern they give you a straight answer. Thats what I love about Triboro Pharmacy. Especially the fact that they are able to deliver my prescriptions when I’m not in the area for free, really makes all the difference for me. At Rite Aid they never took care of me like they do here. Thank you Triboro!
