Katz Drug Store

I’ve been living in bushwick for a while. This place hasn’t been in the neighborhood that long. This is the only place that provides the similac alumentum that I know of and they never have it. My infant didn’t have any milk and I went here with my wic checks to get some. They did not have the powdered form They only had one bottle of ready to feed. Which they refused to give me in the place of the powered. I took my last and I bought the bottle of milk. Then they informed me that the company would no longer be providing them with the powdered mix. So I had to go home and search who else carries this milk. I have checks all the way until may. Smh.

When I realized that my insurance was not accepted by any of the major chains near me, I was terrified. Fortunatley for me, Katz Drugs exists. The Pharmacy is efficient, it’s staff attentive, and its prices affordable. Refilling my prescriptions while speaking with a «real person» has been fantastic.

Having recently moved to Bushwick, I went to the pharmacy desk at Katz Drugs to transfer a prescription. The staff was friendly and after only a few minutes of waiting, the pharmacist stopped out to see me and told me it would be a few more minutes — a shorter wait than at my old pharmacy where they already had my prescription on file.
I’m fond of the details here too. Checkered linoleum floor inside, stainless & neon sign on beautiful turquoise blue tile outside, plus the pill bottles are skinny and deep blue in color which I like better than the chunky bottle at other places.

Yay to supporting small businesses!
I found this place after Walgreens no longer accepted my insurance. The Pharmacy staff is really nice and helpful. The prices on things like paper towels and dish soap are pretty low. I will come here first before the larger chains now.

It’s NOT on the Southside. It’s close to the intersection of Flushing, Broadway, and Graham Avenue. About 3 blocks from Woodhull hospital.
This is a real drug store with lots of friendly help who aren’t too pushy but are there for you. I needed a certain hair product that I couldn’t find anywhere and they got it for me.
Yesterday I needed a prescription and I went to three chain stores. You can guess who they were. None had it and all wanted me to wait one or two days until the truck came from where-​ever. Also at one of the chains I was definitely mistreated. Ignored while the pharmicist and her assistant or chatted about their boyfriends.
I remembered Katz and tried them. BINGO! They had it in stock and I got it the same day.
Thank you Mr. Katz or who ever is the new owner. Great Service.

Katz is a little drugstore that looks like it has been there forever. They have a pharmacy and many of the necessity items that once you run out of, you need ASAP and don’t want to trek far for, like toothpaste, tampons, lotion, soap, etc. Prices are pretty fair too. I got toothpaste and a box of those Playtex Gentle Glide 20 tampons for $ 8.34. The people that work there are very nice too, which is always a bonus.
