How this score works

The score estimates how strongly this place's review record matches known manipulation patterns, from 0 (no signs) to 100. Verdicts: Clean below 40, Suspicious from 40, Likely Manipulated from 70; Review Drive when the flags are mostly staff asking customers for named reviews. It rises with the share of reviews flagged and how suspicious each one is.

Burst
— an abnormal spike of five-star reviews in a single day compared to the place's usual pace.
Low activity account
— the reviewer has almost no other reviews, photos, or Local Guide history; throwaway accounts look like this.
Duplicate text
— the wording is nearly identical to another review of the same place.

Verdicts are statistical estimates based on public review patterns, not accusations. Full methodology, signal definitions and known limits →

Excellent service, very competitive prices, and very friendly staff.

5★ · 2020-03-02

Always attentive, always offering excellent advice. And best of all, always a smile and friendly staff. I've preferred to get my advice and medication here for six years. No regrets :)

Very good pharmacy, I recommend it and always receive a warm welcome with a smile from everyone.

A friendly team. A well-stocked pharmacy, reasonable prices for over-the-counter products. A nice bonus: the ticket at the entrance ensures everyone is in line and avoids any confusion.

4★ · 2022-12-01

Always a warm welcome. You can scan your prescription and upload it to the website. We receive an email notification when our order is ready, which avoids long queues!

The pharmacy is a bit difficult to find. The staff are friendly but struggle to understand customers. However, the major drawback, and what I find most objectionable, is the price of the items, which I find VERY EXPENSIVE!

1★ · 2026-08-12

My experience was terrible. Today I called the pharmacy about clip-on glasses. They said yes, they had them, but I had to bring my children with me. They would dispense them if needed. The staff were already at the pharmacy, so I woke my so...

1★ · 2026-08-12

What a disappointment! The reception we received when buying glasses for the Eclipse was appalling. They insisted on one pair per person at the astronomical price of €10 a pair! Shameful for a pharmacy located on the Minguettes plateau, es...

Inconsistent or unpleasant service interactions

Reviewers report occasional encounters with unhelpful, arrogant, or dismissive staff members during isolated visits.

I was served today—or rather, turned away today—by an appalling pharmacist. This is the first time I've ever been treated like this at your pharmacy! What a disappointment. It's truly unacceptable! All the other staff are really pleasant; h...

I received a vaccination on April 10, 2025, but it wasn't recorded in my health record, which is unprofessional and is now causing me problems with my high school. During my recent visit to rectify the situation, I was seen by the same per...

1★ · 2026-02-01

Incompetent, they make you call 15 (the French emergency number) for every little thing, unpleasant and arrogant. Just unbearable, learn to do your job properly.

Good for

  • Picking up daily prescriptions and medications with professional advice
  • Getting vaccinated against the flu or COVID
  • Quick visits facilitated by an entrance ticketing system

Avoid if

  • You are looking for low-cost promotional or specialty items like eclipse glasses
  • You require guaranteed consistency in customer service interactions across all staff members

Recent pattern — Newer reviews from mid-2026 show a recurring pattern of sharp complaints specifically regarding pricing disputes and poor customer service handling during the sale of eclipse glasses, contrasting with older reviews that primarily praised the staff's general friendliness.

There's nothing to say, the staff are lovely, welcoming, attentive, and always smiling. They honestly give you a 5/5, as does Mr. Chabrol. I've been going to this pharmacy for years and I've recommended it to several people I know, and they haven't been disappointed. Honestly, thank you Mr. Chabrol...

"We're in the 21st century, Madam!" That's the response I received when I asked for a paper bag to carry my medication because my bag was too small. I then received a crumpled plastic bag, and I was very reluctant to give it to them! I found the whole thing disrespectful!
