Thank you to the pharmacist at Publix Hunt Club pharmacy for going out of her way to assist us with getting a prescription filled quickly. She helped me navigate a challenge when our insurance company sent our script to the wrong pharmacy causing a potential delay in getting a much needed medication. Your extra effort is much appreciated!
