Open 24/7, staff members are well trained to receive customers as they enter and direct them to where they need to go to get assistance. Staff members are very polite and always attentive. Sister and GP available for consultation. Neat and tidy isles. Offer medical equipment as well. Parking space available.

They are expensive but they hire the best staff. Always a pleasant and easy experience. Stay away at 5pm to avoid the rush if you can. The nurse on duty this evening was friendly and very helpful. As were the security on duty and the cashier. Top service comes at a price.

The experience here is simply magnificent and delightful.I highly recommend M-Kem 24 hour Pharmacy for their staff customer service, dedication, love and care ❤And the products is of a high standard and good quality, suited to meet our needs and requirements.On entering the pharmacy, there is a Covid19 walk-through temperature detector, my first experience of its kind.Lets support local business and help each other and the economy 🇿🇦 to become strong again 🤝

This 24hr pharmacy always gives excellent service, doesnt matter what time of the day or night. The floor staff are always helpful and the pharmacists are always ready to give advice. Sometimes the queue for prescription medication is a bit long, but the staff always try to help as quickly as possible without compromising service.

This was my first time at m-kem. Service at the dispensary is pathetic. Was there on Sunday to collect a prescription but was told the product needs to be ordered and I can collect it on Monday. Went there today (Tuesday) and was told by the lady behind the counter that its not available yet (she didnt even look on the computer). After talking to someone else they did find the product in the fridge.They also have this system where you give your prescription sheet and they capture everything but then you have to go wait with a little buzzer till they call you. Found this very unnecessary. I had to wait an additional half an hour for my medicine and there wasnt even someone in front of me!! Wont be going back.

Open 24 / 7 . Large pharmacy tons of variety. But the real treat is their nursing rooms. The most friendly nurses ever. Happy to help and they communicate things so honestly, its refreshing. I had to take my baby there for jabs and was impressed by their care and compassion.

I had a very bad experience at M-Kem twice. So we brought our baby for her vaccination and were told that only one parent should go in the nurses room due to Covid.We understood and complied to the store regulation without any complaints. However, another couple walked in and when I was waiting for my husband and my baby, one of the nurses came and allowed both parents to get in with their baby. It happened right in front of me and another man waiting. And also the receptionist who pretended she didnt see anything!! As first time parents we would be happy to be present for each and every single moment in babys life. However we know that due to Covid its not always possible but these rules cant be applied only to certain people and not once but we had such an experience twice!!!

If you call a 24h pharmacy at 5:25 because you have severe a problem , and they can’t help you because there’s no delivery to where you are, you’d at least expect some (!) kind of empathy let’a say a “speedy recovery” or “get well soon” ... “all the best” or anything that makes you believe you’ve talked to a human being on the other side. The employee should probably not work with people...

Went in to get medicine today at 6.45 in the morning with personal looking at me but dont assist. One lady shouted Lee come help but that also did not happen. So I walked out without being helped at all. This is not a 24 hours service at all very bad service will not go there again.

Parking is a nightmare, for the paved lot, not everyone drives off road vehicles (un paved parking areas).

Review №26

Always open which has been a lifesaver on many occasions with little people. I really appreciate the express self medication counter - it helps having someone have the meds on hand rather than getting lost in the store searching forever and having someone to ask questions and get feedback and advice instead of just blindly buying medication because the label said it will work. Friendly staff and covid protocols followed.

Delivery service not available on a weekend..I urgently needed a nebulizer just to hear that the pharmacy dont do deliveries over weekends In the face of a pandemic management need to reconsider.There is clients that are unable to leave their homes.

ECCO CAFE @ MKEM BELLVILLE is the BEST! Albert is always friendly, helpful and makes sure you always receive the best service with a smile. The daily CHEF MEALS are very tasty and affordable and they have the best COFFEE and chocolate muffins. On request, they do platters as well!

Convenient, safe, masks required and screening done before entry, great selection of health and beauty products, Dr on duty and helpful chemists and staff. Cashiers after 6pm are not friendly though, and dont compliment the rest of the staff, but overall a great and healthy place.

The only reason Im giving it four stars instead of 5 is because of proximity (distance from my house to the store) perhaps as they expand they can consider areas closer to the beach.I must add they were the only store that had Eucalyptus oil on sale while others including Dischem and Clicks had empty shelves...so thank you

The only reason why Im not giving 5stars is because the lady in the booth stopped me from seeing the pharmacist and told me to follow her to the sister thats was on duty. I informed her what the problem was and what I needed. She refused to listen and repeatedly said I had to take my child to the doctor as their are meds that he has to take orally. And all I needed was a simple tropical antibiotic which I had no problem of getting before. I simply ignored her and went straight to the pharmacist. After showing her the pic and explaining what I needed she assisted me immediately, no questions asked. The ointment worked wonderfully. Thank you again. 5stars for the pharmacists.

I phoned before the time, enquiring if they stock that specific battery. Very friendly over the phone. Gave me info of stock, where in the shop I would get it, as well as the price. I just went into the pharmacy, got a battery for my car key, paid and was on my way. All in 5 minutes. Very pleased with my experience.

This is by far, my favorite Pharmacy. I dont mind driving a while to get there, its all worth it. The amount of time we have had to visit in the middle of the night - not once did they drop the ball. The only downside I have - there is only one! I wish there was more so more people could experience them. Well done guys, well done for going out of your way for everyone!

26 March 2020. This morning I had to fill a script for myself. About 10 different meds. You see I am prone to acute chest infections. I got to the pharmacy at 7. The lines were long but moved quickly. I would like to thank Leigh for her helpful friendly and compassionate disposition. I cannot imagine how tired and stressed you all must be. Especially during these trying times. Thank you! God bless be safe.

Good day M-Kem management team what a pleasure it was driving 60 km to your store and receiving such friendly service early hours of this morning.... Been at your store for the very 1st time ever as we dont have an 24 hour pharmacy anywhere in the southern suburbs.Please consider opening a branch anywhere between wynberg and muizenberg which would be half way either way between Cape-Town and Simons Town.But my trip was well worth it.Thank you for an awesome amazing friendly service all round.Kind regardsWesley

The sister on duty today was very inappropriate towards my gf after only telling me what happen after arriving home, because she knew I would of gotten upset and would put that lady in her place, she went to get her tablets one day before time because we wouldnt of been able to come tomorrow and she had given my gf a rude lecture, this lady has no manners or respect, you dont speak to adults in such a manner. You better get your staff sorted very rude sister.
