Your Trusted Queens Pharmacy

Your Trusted Pharmacy Partner in Queens, New York

Queens is the most diverse county in America, home to over 2.3 million residents speaking more than 150 languages from over 100 countries. This incredible diversity creates unique healthcare challenges that require a pharmacy partner who truly understands the community. AV Chemist has been proudly serving the Queens community since 2020 from our Glendale location, providing comprehensive pharmacy services including prescription filling and refills, immunizations and vaccinations, compounding pharmacy, and medication therapy management.

Serving Every Queens Neighborhood with Free Delivery

Whether you live in the high-rise apartments of Long Island City, the brownstones of Astoria, the family homes of Forest Hills, the diverse neighborhoods of Jackson Heights or Elmhurst, or anywhere else across our beautiful borough, our free same-day delivery service brings your prescriptions right to your door. We know Queens traffic patterns, understand the unique characteristics of each neighborhood, and optimize our delivery routes to get you your medications as quickly as possible - typically within 2-4 hours for most Queens locations.

Our Queens delivery service extends from the waterfront communities along the East River to the eastern edges of the borough near the Nassau County border. We serve working professionals in the business districts, families in residential neighborhoods like Rego Park and Middle Village, seniors in assisted living facilities, and everyone in between. No minimum order required, no delivery fees - just reliable pharmacy service you can count on.

Accepting Medicare, Medicaid & All Major Insurance Plans

We accept Medicare Part D, Medicaid (including all managed Medicaid plans), and virtually all major insurance providers serving Queens residents. This includes Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, United Healthcare, Humana, Empire, Healthfirst, EmblemHealth, Fidelis Care, and many more. Our experienced pharmacy team handles all insurance coordination, prior authorizations, and claims processing so you can focus on your health, not paperwork. We also offer competitive cash pricing for uninsured patients and help you find prescription assistance programs to reduce your medication costs.

For Queens seniors on Medicare, many of our services including Medication Therapy Management are covered at no cost under Medicare Part D plans. We work directly with your insurance provider to maximize your benefits and minimize your out-of-pocket costs. We work directly with Queens hospitals and medical centers including NYC Health + Hospitals/Elmhurst, Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, Long Island Jewish Forest Hills, Mount Sinai Queens, and NewYork-Presbyterian Queens to ensure seamless coordination of your care after discharge.

Personal Service That Chain Pharmacies Can't Match

Unlike chain pharmacies like CVS and Walgreens where you're just a number in a computer system, AV Chemist provides the personalized care you deserve. When you call us, you speak with a real pharmacist who knows your name, remembers your medications, and takes time to answer your questions. Our pharmacists aren't rushing to fill hundreds of prescriptions per hour - we focus on quality over quantity, ensuring every medication is filled accurately and that you fully understand how to take it safely and effectively.

We also offer specialized personal injury pharmacy services for Queens patients dealing with workers compensation, auto accidents, or slip & fall cases. We coordinate directly with your attorney and physician to ensure zero out-of-pocket costs and handle all the insurance paperwork and prior authorizations. Whether you were injured at work, in a car accident on the Grand Central Parkway or Brooklyn-Queens Expressway, or in a slip and fall incident, we understand the unique challenges of personal injury cases and provide specialized support that chain pharmacies simply don't offer.

Multilingual Support for Queens' Diverse Communities

Queens is home to thriving communities from around the world - from the Greek community in Astoria to the South Asian community in Jackson Heights, the Chinese community in Flushing to the Hispanic communities in Corona and Elmhurst. Our team provides multilingual support and culturally sensitive care to ensure every patient fully understands their medications regardless of language barriers. We take extra time to explain medication instructions, potential side effects, and answer questions in a way that makes sense for your situation.

We're available 24/7 for emergency pharmacy needs throughout Queens. Whether you need a routine prescription refill, urgent medication delivery in the middle of the night, help managing complex medication regimens for multiple chronic conditions, or specialized compounding services, AV Chemist is here for you with the care, expertise, and personal touch you deserve. Call us anytime at (929) 387-8111 or visit our Glendale pharmacy at 68-28 Myrtle Avenue - we're here to serve you.
