Brown University Health Pharmacy at Rhode Island Hospital

Charpentier is not a very professional pharmacist and I think should be removed from his position from interacting with the public in any capacity. The public dressing down of the staff witnessed today and of a person attempting to have a script filled (of a hormone to prevent menstrual bleeding)were he went on a tiraid about how upset he was to be doing his job and yelling about the doctor who had originally sent the script was on leave and because of that he was being asked to provide the service for which he is employed.

Having to go to this pharmacy at Kent Hospital actually turned out to be a great experience. First of all, I had never been there before and had no idea where to park or where inside the hospital the pharmacy was located. I ended up driving around to the backside of the hospital and parked in one-hour patient parking. There were two doors I had to choose from... one said Ambulatory Care and the other didn't say anything but I could see a booth inside that said Information.

I'm not a big fan of pharmacies, but this one does it right. Even though they're in a busy hospital, their service is much more personal than at the big corporate pharmacies. They're quick but polite, and they take the time to go over the drugs with you. That should be the way it is at every pharmacy, but unfortunately, it's a rarity these days.
