I went for a testosterone injection today, the nurse did not sanitize before injecting me nor was she wearing gloves, is this not standard protocol even without covid-19?! When I mentioned washing her hands she asked me what is wrong with me? People are over reacting to this virus? I said I have a weak immune system and you should be sanitizing before and after seeing a patient,on top of that she said she helped a sick patient outside before me !!!!! Ignorance is not bliss and I am very angry about this behavior, it's outright dangerous! Reply : Hi David, I did not see your calls due to the notoriously  bad signal in my area. Health workers such as your nurse on duty are at the front line of any outbreak response and as such are exposed to hazards that put them at risk as well as patients to infection with an outbreak pathogen (in this case COVID-19 PANDEMIC ) as such they must assume overall responsibility to ensure that all necessary preventive and protective measures are taken such as (IPC ) Infection prevention and control to prevent or control the spread of any infections/virus in healthcare facilities, IPC is a universal discipline with relevance to all aspects of healthcare to ensure that no harm is done to patients, visitors or staff and prevent pathogenic (disease-causing) micro-organisms to be transferred to susceptible patients such as myself with low immunity By taking the logical precautions with PPE supplies (masks, gloves, goggles( you have protective screens for staff in the front right ),hand sanitizer, soap and water, cleaning supplies) as patients are asymptomatic yet still carry the virus. I waited a good 5 minutes for the nurse while she helped another customer outside her rooms touching numorous products on your shelves. Once in her rooms the nurse; 1.Did not wash her hands even when asked, instead said what is wrong with me ? People are overacting to the virus? And fyi she doesnt think sanitisers are any good nor 2.Did not wear protective gloves as a precaution. 3. Did not even wipe the top of the testosterone  bottle with a alcohol swap before Injecting when I mentioned this to her she said never mind? I know for a certainty that I asked who she helped before me and she said a sick lady outside whom she did not want to bring in. You did not provide me with the best service or make my safety a priority. Many people are asymptomatic and won't show symtoms let alone a high temperature hence the utmost due diligence must be adhered with every client, especially those with compromised immunity. COVID-19 has a incubation period of up to 14 days! Even before covid-19 other nurses in other pharmacies wore gloves, sanitised and cleaned the top of the testosterone bottle with a alcohol swab before injecting. I'm not sure if the issue is a result of poor training, management or willful ignorance but I will not be using your services again. Regards Rafael

Thank You Expresso Morning Show for Showcasing the most incredible unique Human Being DAVID FRASER owner of Medisport Pharmacy located in Protea Mall Umhlanga - when my Hubba and I first arrived in Durban in 1990- having left our beautiful Farms and Magnificent Home in Zimbabwe () it was a new frightening world for us - and to have a trustworthy Chemist to help me and guide me was my priority - I was fortunate enough to join a certain 'Green Bank' in Smith Street and asked the staff if they knew of a Trustworthy/Reliable Chemist close by and Medisport Pharmacy over the road from the "Green Bank' in Smith Street was unhesitatingly recommended - as Reed & Champion who my Family had supported for many years when holidaying in Durban from Zambia & Zimbabwe had closed down. I immediately went over to introduce myself to David and from the minute I walked into Medidport I felt a huge sense of comfort and in all my years of dealing with them almost day-by day I received a welcoming polite level of Patient/Customer Service Excellence I have yet to receive anywhere else in Durban - David Fraser is indeed a very humble unique knowledgeable dedicated Pharmacist and I didn't even ever have to pay out heavy Doctors Bills because David knew exactly what to prescribe for the symptoms I described to him for my Husband John, myself and our two children - what a very Special Angel and, for me, having lost contact when the inner City of Durban changed drastically, I was transferred to our Head Office and we lost contact over the years - I was absolutely over-the-moon delighted when I happed to see our beloved David and Medisport Pharmacy featured on the Expresso Morning Live Show - I could not believe after all these years of shoddy service elsewhere and no trust or reliability available to me and having lost my beloved Husband of 57 years to Covid recently (I believe if he had David who was well aware of his co'-morbidities - my Husbsnd would have survived) - I have received the most incredible gift in finding our David Fraser (our Guardian Angel) again - I immediately called David and shed far too many tears of relief but it was the greatest gift to have my source of comfort and trust finally back in my world - and David - I cant wait to see you again and of course all my Scripts will come to you because you of all Pharmacists deserve all the business and support of the population of Durban/Umhlanga and surrounds - THANK YOU FOR YOUR DEDICATION - See you soon - Jenny, John (in Heaven), Veronica and Darren-John Becker

It’s not often in this day and age, does one meet such caring professionals in a retail store. Whether it’s a product off the shelf or engaging with the pharmacist, you will be looked after with wonderful sincerity. I also use their clinic for my monthly booster jab, love the resident sister who I’m sure, reluctantly laughs at my jokes. Although their cosmetics and cologne/perfume choices are extensive, my favourite is the gift store at the back. You’ll find gems, only one of a kind displayed. However, the real “find” are the cookbooks, I’m a chef by trade. BTW, I have no affiliation, business or otherwise, with this pharmacy, just love going there.

  • Justin Middleborough

Thank you Umhlanga Medisport Pharmacy for all your great customer service over the years. It is rare to find a pharmacy that that goes out of their way to assist. Your extended shopping hours, open 365 days make you a pharmacy of choice but your service makes you a pharmacy of excellence. It is really appreciated that you always go the extra mile, a philosophy instilled by David Fraser in all his staff. If ever problems are brought to your attention you make immediate attempts to resolve the issues. Unfortunately writing a review on Google is not a legitimate attempt to resolve an issue, something a previous reviewer would do well to note.

  • Rose Tau

Got there with a script from the Dr for my child, the pharmacist on duty told me he has something else, I explained that I don’t want to change what the Dr prescribed as the meds are for a very serious condition, he assured me that it’s still the same thing, just different company” trust me Ausi” he said. When I got home I called the Dr”a office to check if that meds is ok, he said no and it won’t be effective on the child. As a mother I returned the meds within an hour of purchase and to my dissapointment I was not assisted at all. R913, 80 gone down the drain. My number is +27767206255, hope to hear from you!

  • Nick PR

I'm a fairly regular customer of this pharmacy and each time I've been there I've also received the best care and attention. Whether they are busy or quiet, the team is always courteous and attentive. Their selection of stock is wide and you are likely to find all that you need there. Furthermore, their delivery service, whatsapp line and 24-hour operating hours make them an invaluable asset you your personal care needs. Keep up the good work team.

  • Thandoluhle Khumalo

The service I received was very good. I got assisted by Vuyani who was friendly and went above and beyond to ensure that customer satisfaction is achieved. Considering the fact that I called in after normal Sunday hours for other businesses and still received satisfactory service and patience, I definitely rate Umhlanga Medisport Pharmacy as the best in town.

The man who assisted me must have had a bad day cause he was incredibly rude and condescending. Didn't even let me finish telling him what I wanted and ended up getting the wrong item. Then dismissed me like a school child.
