  I arrived at the pharmacy with a scrip from a dentist on a Saturday at 7. The pharmacist A. Solonnikov, was combative in attempting to deny me access to penicillin and a NSAID. "This dental office is not open on Sat" Yes it was. "This dentist does not work at that particular office" Yes he did. Since A. Solonnikov, was not completely convinced that I was not a drug addict flipping cheap drugs for profit, (to be fair the signature was unclear) I had to return with my receipt of treatment to get an emergency script from them. The following Monday, I returned after work to collect my scrip as Solonnikov said he would contact the dentist to confirm the script. My script was initially lost in some paperwork (for 30 minutes) and the dentist had not been in contact with them. (Interestingly, I had not received a call about this difficulty so it's safe to say the dentist was not contacted) Another pharmacist saw folly in A Solonnikov's actions and filled my script on site. So would I recommend using their services in light that there are other pharmacies within 3-5 blocks in almost every direction? No What is problematic is that the pharmacist failed in his due dilligence when contravening the script of a Dentist. The onus is on the pharmacist to follow up on their actions when denying a patient access to care.
