ear cleaning

I went for an ear cleaning, having found the pharmacist highly capable in the past. This time it was mixed, with two new pharmacists. One was capable, the other not. The incapable one treated my ears first and declared my right ear 'clean as a whistle', while I needed to treat the left with oil drops longer. Two weeks later the second pharmacist found the right ear was not clear, so cleared it. The left ear still needed more drops, now ith bicarbonate of soda. A week later, the first incapable pharmacist treated the left ear and declared it 'clean as a whistle.' I said the hearing was strange. She dismissed it and sent me packing. The left ear is still badly blocked, and I no longer trust Dears to do ear cleaning.

Kamil at Dears pharmacy

Kamil at Dears pharmacy was the friendliest person! Felt extremely comfortable on both visits. First time we were with him for nearly an hour explaining preventatives and the vaccines we could receive. He explained everything so well, and was so easy to pay attention to. Would definitely go back for any further needs at a pharmacy! Thank you so much Kamil!

Dears Dunfermline - Kamil

Visited Dears Dunfermline twice for my travel clinic and seen both times by Kamil. He’s a star!
Never felt rushed, put me at ease straight away and was very knowledgable.
Injections were pain free, played some calm music and just made me feel very relaxed.

Wouldn’t hesitate to return to speak to Kamil again.

Who ever was driving like a maniac on the evening of Tuesday 24th February 2026 should have there drivers license revoked. On the A71 westbound Calder road just after the Hermiston Motor around 6pm Driving like an idiot . Overtaking at a bad place in the road you very nearly caused an accident with my can and I had children in the back

Patient Centred Care

First time I have had a consultation of any kind at Dunfermline Dears Pharmacy.
Pharmacy staff were very friendly and helpful.
I had a consultation regarding Travel Vaccines with Kamil.
What a safe and trustworthy environment he provides.
Patient care was excellent. At no time did I feel rushed. Plenty of time was given to me, and, as a result, I relaxed and was able to focus on the questions asked of me, and information given to me.
Kamil was professional, extremely knowledgeable which totally reassured me, clearly explained about vaccines required and reasons for these, as well as giving information to assist me in making other health decisions for travel. He was a total expert in administering the jags! Calmly and gently he explained the process and administered the jags. No fuss, no pain.
I was so impressed.
I definitely would recommend a visit to Dears Dunfermline for Travel vaccinations. Thank you so much.

Booked a gender sneak peak test by blood drawn in Glenrothes Glamis Centre 2 weeks in advance, paid a hefty deposit, just to let me know when we arrived to the pharmacy, that they don't have the test in stock, but they can order some by next week if I'm okay to move my appointment.
Deeply disappointed!!! Even furious! You had 2 weeks to order the kit, but at least a phone call in advance not to travel unnecessarily and waste our time.

Outstanding Consultant

Lauren is an outstanding weight‑loss consultant at Leslie. Her expertise is matched by the way she supports you every step of the way — her advice is clear, practical, and genuinely tailored to what you need. Her motivation, knowledge, and understanding are second to none, and she makes the whole journey feel achievable.

I’ve been to other pharmacies, but the level of patient care Lauren provides is on a completely different level. She listens, she guides, she checks in, and she makes you feel supported rather than judged. Because of that, I wouldn’t go anywhere else now.

Excellent sevice from a local Pharmacy.

Kamil was very thorough in the vaccinations I would require travelling from Australia via the Polynesian Islands to America. Over the two visits,he was very polite and professional, and gave me all the information I required about the trip, and with administrating them.

Fantastic quality of service

I met with Kamil today and I was extremely impressed by the quality of service provided. I will be travelling to Indonesia for work in a few weeks time and my company now recommends a typhoid vaccination. But Kamil went through all of the health conditions that I may be exposed to from the WHO site and we added another couple of important vaccinations. He was very knowledgeable and helpful. The service went way beyond what I was expecting. A huge thank you. I will be back soon for my Hep B. Best wishes Graeme

Very bad service

I telephoned early in the day to ask if.my prescription was ready to collect, it wasnt, so I asked if I collected near the end of the day could they please have it ready for me, as I had just had surgery the week before and was still in a lot of pain, so didn't want to be out long. Instead when I get there at 5pm, the prescription wasnt ready and I had to wait over half an hour for it to be ready!
I was in a lot of pain by the time I left there and not even an apology for the wait.
This is an ongoing issue with this branch, they never have medication ready when it is suppose to be, the service (not the ladies that work the front but the pharmacy team) is ridiculous and its time some improvements are made!!

Excellent Travel Service

Excellent travel service. Kamil explained the various vaccines, how they worked and how they were administered. And for someone like me who hates injections he was brilliant!

Went in for advice from Pharmacist had to write down what was wrong, she came out and said what is the problem? I said I have written it down as I dont want to day in front of the shop. She then replied well I cant read your writing and we are very busy at the moment. Needless to say I was embarrassed and just left the shop when she said she couldnt help, so unprofessional!! She was a forgein lady, small with glasses.

Went to pick up my prescription from the "24/7/365 days a year" locker and it has been shut since Thursday (its now sunday) i understand its been christmas however why advertise being open 24/7 and 365 days if its not.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we’re very sorry for the inconvenience and disappointment this caused you.
We completely understand how upsetting it must have been to arrive expecting to collect your medication and find the locker unavailable, especially when it’s something you rely on. Unfortunately, there was an unexpected fault with the locker that only came to light when our team returned after the Christmas break. The issue has now been reported so it can be resolved as quickly as possible.
Please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience this caused. Your feedback is truly appreciated, and we’re grateful you took the time to let us know. We’ll do our best to ensure a smoother experience going forward.
