An independent
neighbourhood pharmacy.
Progressive Drug Mart has been serving Huron Street and the surrounding east London community for over a decade. We opened as an independently owned, family-operated pharmacy because we believe the pharmacist-patient relationship matters.
Why independent matters.
Big pharmacy chains optimize for volume. They rotate staff, standardize every interaction, and operate on corporate timelines. An independent pharmacy optimizes for the person standing at the counter.
At Progressive Drug Mart, the pharmacist who fills your prescription is the same one who will call your doctor if something needs clarification. There is no intermediary. The chain from prescription to patient is as short as it can be.
We have been in this location on Huron Street for over a decade. Our patients are our neighbours. When new families move into the area, they hear about us from their street. That trust is earned visit by visit, question by question.
ODB-covered prescriptions and eligible services cost you nothing here. Seniors should ask about every service they're entitled to.
Sharon Yuen, R.Ph.
Sharon Yuen is the pharmacist manager and the constant at Progressive Drug Mart. She has been here since the doors opened and maintains personal notes on every patient.
If you have questions about a new prescription, concerns about drug interactions, or just want to understand what you are taking and why, Sharon is the person to ask. She will not rush the conversation.
Sharon is fluent in English and Cantonese. Cantonese-speaking patients and families are welcome to speak with her directly in their preferred language.
What we stand for.
Independent decisions
Every choice about your prescription, your packaging, and your care is made by the pharmacist in front of you. No corporate override, no call centre.
Family-owned accountability
We are not a franchise. Our name and reputation are on the line every single day. That keeps our standards high.
Community pricing
$0 copay for ODB recipients and seniors. We believe accessible medication is a right, not a premium service.
Bilingual service
We serve Cantonese-speaking patients and families in their preferred language. 我們提供稿語服务。
Wheelchair accessible
Our Huron Street location is fully accessible. If you need assistance, please let us know when you call ahead.
Long-term relationships
We keep detailed notes and track your history. Many of our patients have been with us since we opened. We know you by name.
