About Us
We are a New kind of Pharmacy...
Or maybe a new kind of pharmacy mixed with an old type of pharmacy.
Anything but a big box pharmacy.
We left the Grocery Chains with a vision i.e. "to uphold the meaning of a Community Pharmacy", just like the old school days; where the Pharmacist knows the patient and the patient understands the Pharmacist. All we wanted was to put your health at the center of the equation. A no distraction environment, just focusing on your medications and counselling.
If you go to any professional place, for example a lawyer, you do not wonder if he or she might carry produce or any other groceries, so was the way with Pharmacies, a limited set of goods and services. And we feel it is important to keep that differentiation.
We are Pharmacists and are different from Grocers , just like lawyers, Doctors, Gynecologists etc...Your medications are important to you and for us you are not a number, because patient care is what we went to school, not for sales and targets.
More over Tablet Pharmacy is Independent & Locally owned .Which means there is no Franchiser who shares a part of our profits. We pass it on to the customers. Smaller store size means less over heads ; such strategies also means we can take better care of you without sacrificing price efficiency (one of the major reasons for decline of truly independent community Pharmacies). We have things like small robots to count your medications, a beautiful waiting lounge, and a new tech lab that customizes your compound.
At Tablet Pharmacy Parksville, you can chat with your pharmacist. Even through text on 250.927.8032 or email ( ).
With Love,
TABLET Pharmacy Parksville
"Where the old fashioned neighborhood pharmacy of yesterday,
meets the high tech pharmacy of tomorrow"

Ever wonder why we look so fresh

we saw a picture of Aara

she drew for us. Thank you Aara
for being the inspiration
and the energy source of the team.
