“Thankyou To The Lady That Treated me on Wednesday for my sore Throat infection I'm feeling much better and looking forward to my holiday at the weekend , Merry Christmas to you All , make sure you book your holiday for February Thankyou once again x”

“I have been coming here for years. A very knowledgeable, attentive and experienced team. They always have time to chat and offer very thorough and considered advice. This chemist is in an iconic, historic building and they have preserved the history well, it’s fascinating inside. It carries a very comprehensive stock and with the high level of service I really can’t recommend this highly enough. My whole family has come for decades and it’s been faultless every time.”

“Great chemist, very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Never have to wait in long queues. Staff go above and beyond to help with any queries. Thoroughly recommend.”

“Must be the best chemist in Bristol staff are so friendly and helpful nothing is too much trouble prescription's done so quickly”

“Always have my prescriptions sent to this pharmacy as I use the health centre next door, and it is a 5 minute walk from my flat. I usually have 3 or 4 prescriptions per month on a prepayment card. I always put the prescription in a week early, and give 2 or 3 days from the request and my prescriptions are always ready when I collect them. The staff all seem very helpful, and are always friendly.”

“The best local pharmacy - friendly and accommodating staff. After trying 5 other pharmacies they were able to provide me with 5 days of my medication and arranged to fulfil the rest. Will always go here first now.”

“Brenda and Karen are angels and put up with people with no manners. The management don't realise how lucky they are having them. Brilliant members of staff, a credit to the comapny”

“Friendly and seem to do that bit extra for you”

“Always so helpful to me. I changed my chemist to here recently and I have no regrets! Absolutely amazing staff, always willing to go out of their way to get your medication. Very kind and caring. Thank you all.”

“Been with them 3 years and collect three people's medication. They are really helpful and order items promptly. Like all pharmacies, they are under pressure, but I have never been disappointed. I often witness rude, abusive customers who expect prescriptions instantly. The staff always remain patient, polite and professional. I have used a few different pharmacies over the years, and Tower House is the quickest, most helpful and most professional one.”

“I have been a frequent visitor to this pharmacy for some time. There has been a pharmacy at 246 North Street for a great many years (GK Chemist originally). The other address was the old Bernard Hunter Photography at 244 North Street which I have also visited. The new expanded Lloyds Pharmacy now takes up two units having expanded next door. I normally drop in a couple of Prescriptions as needed and collect. I find this always much easier to do here than up the old Surgery (now private as Bridge View Medical Group) and my abiding impression is friendly staff. The now expanded place has made great use of the extra space, easy to move around and one of the easiest places for disabled and those of restricted mobility to enter and exit with the ramped entry and automatic door and push button exit and as before move around. Many pharmaceutical, baby, child, bathroom and medical products available. So always worth a look for small items and general medicines. Some items are available at a good price such as Carex handwash, others like Bathroom essentials like Brut can be more expensive. Everything is easy to find and see, labelled. I would have also highly recommended them for mobility aids, so if anyone ever needed an aluminium walker. In recent days they no longer do these, a pity, as that was simplicity itself and the walker for my Mum is wonderful. Bright, White, well-lit and I must add spotlessly clean. Hospitals could take note. The best part I note is getting any medicines on Prescription. The process of doing it via the Pharmacy is fuss free I find, and they take notice of your notes on your prescription. The time has lengthened recently so drop in Monday could get it by Friday. The amount of people using the Pharmacy in recent months has increased massively. An increasing number of NHS services are delivered by the Pharmacy instead of the Surgery, such as Flu Jabs and Health Checks. That has gone very well, and I note they seem interested and enquiring into your health, much like GP Surgery used to be. All in all, much busier, hence at times even late on Friday for instance, quite a wait for things to be finished. I have found them much more approachable and helpful regarding medical questions. Keeping in mind they are Pharmacists and not Doctors of Medicine. I was informed that in fact I am eligible for free Prescriptions whereas I believed after a change in circumstances almost 2 years ago I was not. Like many things why couldn’t the GP tell me that. Another is for an illness I had, I was told by the GP nothing could be done, yet spoke to the Pharmacist, yes there is something I can take, so sorted. The irony I find, having only 3 GP’s in my life till recent years is that on a basis of trust. I trust Lloyds Pharmacy far more than a Surgery now. On that basis and the friendliness and approachability of staff. I give them my highest recommendation.”

“I've always received great service at this practice over the last 30 years, especially the last 5 or so years with developing medical problems. The online self referal service usually always gives a personal response within a few hours. Absolutely don't understand the poor reviews here.”

“The service has definitely improved since they've got new staff. I've had bad experiences in the past with trying to get my prescription, but my recent experiences have pleasant and little fuss.”
