The Modern Chemist

This is my favorite place to get healthy snacks. They have no many delicious bars and treats and juices that are healthy, gluten free and additive free. I come here ever few weeks to stalk up on my favorites. Yum!

I thought I’d be helping them out by writing a stellar review, but it looks like this is old news! Understandable, considering this pharmacy appears to do everything right! Selection of meds and other unique gift items and skin care is downright amazing. Carlos and his crew are nothing short of wonderful. It’s not often you find a local boutique shop that cares more about making their customers happy than making a sale. I truly feel like they have my family’s best interest at heart and continue to go above and beyond to make being sick as manageable as possible. THANK YOU!

One of my favorite parts about moving to Park Slope is this pharmacy! Clean and cute, but better yet is the AMAZING service and family-​like feel I get every time I come in. Couldn’t be happier — worth walking a couple extra blocks if you’re considering!

Now this is a neighborhood pharmacy! That one our relatives told us existed back in the day! Last month I found out that Walgreens/​Duane Reade would not accept my insurance. I was extremely bummed out as it was right next to my train stop. I had to go to Park Slope that day and remembered that my friend had a good experience with The Modern Chemist. I just happened to be across the street from the one on Sackett and 4^th ave. I spoke to the pharmacist and she took my information and filled my prescription. It was honestly one of the best customer service experiences I have ever had! I was so impressed with the turn around.
The space is extremely clean and welcoming. You could also find great gifts that you would not be able to find at other pharmacies or even Target! Their skin and hair care selection is incredible. I will plan ahead once a month to pickup my prescription and will not miss Walgreens/​Duane Reade one bit! So grateful for this pharmacy! Would encourage everybody to switch!

I switched to modern chemist recently from Neergaurd and wish I had done so much earlier. The pharmacy team is attentive, accommodating, professional, & diligent. They go above and beyond to make sure their customers experience is seamless and satisfying. I am not an easy customer as I travel a lot and he has made what use to be a very challenging process much simpler. Partha has been very helpful on multiple occasions, he is an excellent pharmacist with the pharmacist equivalent of good bedside manner. Best pharmacy around!

This is such an amazing place to shop and get your medication. They have a great selection of products that you don’t find at a regular pharmacy. The customer service is fantastic — you are always greeted with a smile and with professionalism. I definitely recommend this place :)

Modern Chemist is a true neighborhood pharmacy. Their hours make it convenient for me to stop by before or after work (huge bonus for me) and Carlos always delivers the best service.

Great place they r pricy but go above and beyond to help u !!! They carry great products high end, it’s a small space but they have a lot, also they deliver

Here’s the deal: the owner is a very hard working man. I fly in from out of state and was not an easy customer since I had out of state insurance. The owner bends over backwards to take care of me and my needs, despite it being a bit more complicated.
I’m not an easy customer as I always ask for prices, transfers, etc. Doesn’t help that my prescriptions and doctors are all out of state too. The owner always says no worries he’ll take care of it. I always brings my business here because this neighborhood needs more establishments like this that go above and beyond.

Sometimes I can’t believe I deal with the abuse or indifference at chains like Duane Reade or Rite Aid. And for what? You don’t pay any less.
This place is charming and efficient: the pharmacist is friendly and actually wants to help you. There are high end products. In my case, I had to wait and call my insurance, but I will definitely try to support a new local business in the future.

So great to have in the neighborhood. A friendly small shop with a large selection. They’ll happily do the work to transfer your existing prescriptions over and seem to take all kinds of insurance (they take my crappy plan). A much-​welcome addition to the North Slope!

Good pharmacy, prices are fair and they’re very modern. Was surprised when I had to swipe my debit card on an iPad. Went in there for a solution for my muscle aches, which I’ve been getting from working out with dumbbells and cardio. Ended up being told about Badger’s muscle rub which is all natural and smells minty. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Definitely would go back again.

The family that owns and operates this pharmacy is warm, friendly and super enthusiastic about what they’re doing. I recently switched insurance providers and the pharmacists (an adorable betrothed couple) were great advocates in helping me to get my insurance up and running. They also helped me to get generic versions of my meds so as to save me on cost. Unrelated to pharmacy-​ing, but vital to know: they stock killer hair products that are almost impossible to find elsewhere (Davines!).

SHOP HERE!
The prices are comparable if not less than the neighborhood Duane Reede. I have found a new variety of products I would not find elsewhere. And the level of detail and knowledge from those working there helped guide my purchases.
DO make this your local full service pharmacy.

Wow what a great pharmacy. They take real time to talk with you about your meds and work with your insurance. Carlos (owner and head pharmacist) is amazing and I trust him handling all of my many meds.
When I first went in he wasn’t a part of my plan (which is a common problem for many people) but when I explained my situation he went through the hassle of signing up his pharmacy with my plan!
I’m currently waiting for a heart transplant and he is also helping me make my body more balanced with supplements but always will check with my doctors first.
I’ve been on heart meds my whole life and I’ve never had pharamcy care that much to sign onto my plan! Most places would turn me down and say sorry we don’t take it go to CVS but Carlos understood that’s not what’s best for my health. I’ve had too many times big places mess up my meds.
Now I can’t wait for my sixteen year old son to come back from camp. I’m excited to get him there since he needs special meds for his acne. The fact your dealing with the owner Carlos is epic because he understands customer service and knows treat someone with respect and he’ll have my whole family going there for life.
PS: even if you don’t need meds it’s a beautiful store with very high end beauty products and he always gives out testers. Plus they order anything that they don’t carry without charging u extra.
It’s a pharmacy, health food store, and hard to find best of the best beauty products with out the clutter and big size of most places.
It’s also a great place to pop in and grab a gift when you’ve waited last minute like I do… I’ve purchased baby shower gifts, home warmer gifts and birthday gifts. However today when I was walking my dog I just grabbed a snack bar and water.
One down side is they should be open till 8pm mon-​Friday (it says 7pm but they let u in till 8pm so they should change their sign) and please have Sunday hours;)
ps: this is the longest review I’ve written because it’s well deserved, just met Carlos and his staff a month ago and they are always so helpful.

I wish this was my local pharmacy.
Not only do they poop on Duane Reade when it comes to customer service, but I also appreciate their focused and curated selection of products. Obviously, this small shop doesn’t have 34 different kinds of toothpaste to choose from, but I really only need one or two good ones.
And, if this sort of thing matters to you, the Modern Chemist even carries their own exclusive line of men’s skincare from Triumph & Disaster. Personally, I can’t spend $ 50 on moisturizer (my looks aren’t good enough to drop that much cash on preserving them), but the quality is here. And they’ve got Jack Black, and other more common brands if you have a common face like I do.
Basically, it’s a nice place run by nice people, and whenever I can help it, I’ll spend my money with them rather than some Walgreens somewhere.

Carlos is the best pharmacist I have ever met. When I call for a refill, he knows it’s me right away over the phone, and he knows what meds I need refilled before I do! I have never received better service at a pharmacy (hurrah for no longer being stuck with Duane Reade or Target!). Another perk of this pharmacy is that they compound certain meds so that it’s cheaper for the patient. I used to spend $ 60 on one of my meds and now it’s $ 40 thanks to Carlos.
The store part of the pharmacy is adorable. It’s a little expensive, but they have stuff that is nice and actually useful. They have a great selection of body products and child/​baby products.
Bottom line: Definitely worth moving your prescriptions here (and Carlos makes the rx move so easy!)

The perfect neighborhood pharmacy. Everyone there is warm and welcoming and makes you feel at home.
They have everything you need plus more from the pure essentials line. Having a pharmacy walking distance from union street was long overdue and this was the perfect one!

Have a super weird and hard-​to-​fill prescription for cough syrup for my dog (sizzurp, really, but he’s not an addict) and I called SIX pharmacies today looking for a supply. Not only did no pharmacy in Park Slope have it, but my inquiry was met with a curt «No, we don’t have that.» End of story, I guess.
Then I called Modern Chemist and the pharm tech looked it up, said they didn’t have it, and then offered to place me on hold and call the 7^th Ave location to see if it’s available there. It was. This simple, yet classy, costumer service move just earned The Modern Chemist a new customer. Thank you, sir, for your kindness. It’s the little things…

I am so excited about the opening of this place theyr carry my favorite face product
Mario badcuse I am so excited the staff seemed very amazing !
