What Our Patients Say
"Sometimes life is about unexpected surprises! I inadvertently found Medicap Pharmacy® a few years ago after moving from Tampa, Florida. In a rush and needing to find a pharmacy fast, Medicap showed up on my GPS. When arriving at this uniquely named local business, everyone cheerfully greet me by voice and smiles. It was definitely different from my past experience with national chains. The staff seemed to enjoy their jobs and even delighted in offering preventive care versus more prescriptions! Moreover, I would always prefer to support a local business that not only provides excellent 'above and beyond' service, but is also active in the community and a leader in healthy living!"
