Acton Pharmacy
a community pharmacy in Acton, MA

This pharmacy is a breath of fresh air after dealing with the large chain pharmacies (CVS) for years. Both the counter staff and the pharmacists are knowledgeable and pleasant. More importantly, they are genuinely helpful and give you time and attention that is sorely lacking at the big chains. In several cases the pharmacists have taken the time to note medication changes, dosage changes, or just something that they thought was unusual… I was so grateful that I have switched EVERY ONE of my family’s prescriptions to Acton Pharmacy, even though I live 15 minutes away (and there is a CVS 3 minutes from my house). Thank you, Acton Pharmacy. You have a customer for life.

This pharmacy is a real asset to our community, especially if you need compounded meds. If they don’t have an answer to your question, they will research it for you.

Friendly, professional, personal service. Much much better than the chain store pharmacy machines. A true neighborhood drugstore.

These people go the extra mile for customers. They solve problems with insurance companies, with doctors’ offices, and with suppliers. They are really an essential part of my health team. They have been my pharmacy since the 1960s. In that time, ownership changed, but the excellent service did not.

Five stars!! Saad and Ted are the best most caring individuals out there! Always going out of their way to make sure everything is just right. We have many of my sons meds compounded and sent to my house from Acton Pharmacy! Thank you for your amazing care!

We are so grateful we found Acton Pharmacy. The team at Acton Pharmacy is 5-Star when it comes to customer service, guidance, and expertise. We came to Acton Pharmacy with a very unique prescription for our 6-year old son and they could have easily turned us away. But they didn’t because the staff at Acton Pharmacy truly cares about people…

I have used Acton Pharmacy for the past 18 years and have always been impressed with the professionalism of Saad and his staff as well as the personal care they have given to me and my family. They always go the extra mile whether it is staying on top of insurance or getting prescriptions filled quickly.

This is the best pharmacy. Saad Dinno and his staff are always looking out for their clients. They research allergies with any new medicines, their record keeping is impeccable, they coordinate with your Doctors office as needed, they offer an unlimited amount of customer friendly services to better your pharmacy experience and lessening your stress.

I cant say enough about this place! I had to pick up a prescription on my way home from the hospital and was extremely exhausted. I was greeted as I walked through the door, one of the staff congratulated me on the birth of my son, I was given a bottle of water and a seat to relax while they were filling the script. As I checked out they gave me diaper cream for the baby…

Special thanks to the staff of Keyes Pharmacy and Acton Pharmacy! You went out of your way to help me with my son’s medication and dealing with the insurance company. The staff with whom I dealt with were polite, caring, and pleasant. It is so rare to find such excellence customer service. Thank you!

I went there today to fill a prescription and they are so NICE . They also have great products that they don’t have at the chain stores…

Excellent service and advice, I cannot recommend Acton Pharmacy highly enough. They’ve been able to fill prescriptions that other pharmacies, including mail order, cannot.

Bernard F. on Facebook

The best little pharmacy. These guys are wonderful, iI cant say enough about them. Anyone who gives less then 5 stars is bitter and does not know what they are talking about.

I think it is important, now , to reflect on the behavior and service of places such as pharmacies during the Pandemic’s worst days as well as during any of its days. Again, Acton Pharmacy did a wonderful job. Additional Senior times were set up so that the traffic in the store was for the greatest part restricted to the most vulnerable and those in need. The staff always wore masks and a simple – and non annoying, clear barrier- was put in place at the counter. Clear markers were everywhere for social distancing while waiting in line and the floor was vacuumed. Also an air filtration system was set up The first time I entered the site after its installation- unaware of its presence- I was surprised at how “not like an indoor environment” it felt. Bottom line: felt safe every time I was there while the service continued to be excellent . As someone who went there regularly, I am grateful for everything they did. Thank you. **** I have used Acton Pharmacy for years. AP is more than a pharmacy. It is my local pharmacy. I prefer it 1000 times more than mail order where orders get bollixed and distance works against easy resolution of any problems. They are first rate pharmacists. The service is always friendly and prompt. Everyone is always helpful. I leave with every question answered confident in the quality of the medicines I have received.

Called in to inquire about having a prescription filled and spoke to a very kind, patient woman who listened and helped answer my questions. This is my first time needing a specialty pharmacy and the previous location I spoke with treated me like I was a bother when I just needed some help. I’m glad to have found it here.

I work in a doctor’s office and needed a medication for a patient that had recently been discontnued and was very hard to obtain. The chain pharmacys would not get this for us because they didn’t want to go through the hassle of figuring out how to bill for it. I talked to Saad and he was more than willing to figure it out and was able to get it within a day. Our patient was extremely grateful and we couldn’t be more appreciative! Thanks Saad!

Saad and the team at Acton Pharmacy are fantastic. They spent a bunch of time to help me obtain accurate blood pressure readings over a series of several days for the purposes of a physical assessment at no charge, and provided guidance around how to most accurately do at-home monitoring. It’s great to support a locally-owned business – my wife has moved all of her (and our dog’s) prescriptions here from one of the big-name chains, and Acton Pharmacy’s service and pricing is far superior.

Always has knowledgeable help with any question. That’s why customers like me are so loyal to it, despite the pressure of 3 CVS pharmacies within 5 miles of it. In my most recent example, I called my Dr. for advice about apparent conjunctivitis. The nurse had no advice and no openings and recommended going to an urgent-care center.

Since I had a prescription to pick up at Acton Pharmacy, anyway, while I was there I asked if they had any advice. The pharmacist then asked me some basic triage questions, and concluded that it didn’t seem to be an infection, just unusually bad incident of dry eye, and gave me care advice that turned out to be correct. Just 2 minutes of wise (free) help, avoiding a half-day sitting in an urgent care center, near coughing people, and catching the flu for my efforts!

I very rarely write evaluations, but Acton Pharmacy deserves the 5 stars. Their compouding department always goes above and beyond anything required to make sure that you have exactly what you need when you need it. I’ve been using them for years, and can’t say enough good things about them – competent, compassionate, efficient – you name it. Their tag line is “Individual Care, Exceptional Service” , and they personify both of those! I would, and do, recommend them to anyone, and how many pharmacies, or in fact any businesses, can you say that about? Kudos to them for consistent excellence.

These guys are saviors. Allergy season started and my Allergy doctor prescribed for Cromolyn 4% eye drops from CVS westford.

They ran out and all the neighboring pharmacies in Westford ran out of Cromolyn eye drops. Luckily, these guys had them in stock and I don’t have to suffer form Itchy eyes anymore.

They are a compounding pharmacy and able to make up doses in any amount. AWESOME! This was perfect for me as I needed a very small dose of a drug that only came in larger sizes. I never knew this could be done but it was just what I needed! Luckily my doctor was also aware that this could be done and this pharmacy could do it.

Bill M. on Google

They are outstanding. You can not meet a more helpful and nice guy than Saad. Kind, responsive, helpful. Really great. (Chicago 😉 )
