Beware the new administration in Servi Med.
Service is efficient and doctors seem proficient since Gideon sold it on. (Rumour has it that Bournigal are involved)? Consultation costs are a little higher but that's OK and expected with new owners.
BUT......
Suggest that you don't buy medications from them even though the new admin seems to have a good stock in the clinic.
Today's experience:
What a good idea to be able to get your meds from the doctor, saves a walk to the pharmacy.
WRONG ....... 7 days tablets charged DR$3,700 (3,300 with the "you've been a patient of Servi Med for 8 years discount").
Checked price of exact same meds at 2 Cabarete pharmacies - in town price varied from RD$1,850.00 to RD$2,100.00!
Hey, that's Servi Med with almost a 100% mark-up on any medications you buy from them??????
No doubt the pharmacies in town will be fighting for the patient's cause from what I heard later this morning? (and their own profits of course).
Oh, nearly forgot. I called Servi Med and got another RD$500.00 discount cos' I can be an awkward b*****d at times, but that still gives them a huge mark-up. If they continue buying meds from the main supplier and subsequently the other pharmacies lose customers and eventually close, we'll all suffer! Boycott Servi Med and they have to reduce their services due to lack of patients, we'll all suffer!
Stuck twixt a rock and a bandage I fear?
