Pharmacies in Berks County

Here's a Berks County pharmacy fact you can check from the parking lot: the busiest counters in the category sit inside grocery stores. GIANT's pharmacies in Temple, Reading, and West Lawn draw more review traffic than anyone else on the list, which says something about how the county actually fills its prescriptions: on the weekly grocery run.

Volume isn't the only way to choose, though. Reading holds the most pharmacies in the county, and mixed in with the chains are independents and compounding pharmacies built for the things a busy counter can't always manage — knowing your name, flagging an interaction personally, mixing what the manufacturer doesn't make. Transferring a prescription takes one phone call, and the new pharmacy handles it. So the question is what you want at the counter: speed and one-stop errands, or somebody who recognizes you. Both are on this list.
