Marina Pharmacy | Shorooq
DubaiMed AI Analysis
Marina Pharmacy | Shorooq appears to be a neighborhood retail pharmacy with an online/24/7 delivery presence, but patient experiences at this branch are mixed. Reviews show both helpful, knowledgeable staff and multiple reports of long waits, poor staff knowledge, and inconsistent opening hours, so evidence on quality is inconsistent and limited.
Patients seeking general pharmacy retail items or home delivery, but those needing reliable, timely prescription service should be cautious.

I had a wonderful experience at 800 Shorooq Pharmacy. The pharmacists are friendly and knowledgeable, and they helped me find exactly what I needed (Dr. Rayan & Dr. Hamed). The pharmacy is clean, well-organized, and they have a great selection of products. Service was quick and efficient. Highly recommend this place for all your pharmacy needs!
Terrible service. Waited for a medicine for 2 hrs and at the end I never received my order!
Terrible pharmacy. Went there with a proscription and waited for over 40Minutes and the guy was still confused and not sure about things. I had to walk away after waiting for 40Min.
Awful new male pharmacist. Zero knowledge, zero assistance, whatever you ask him he doesn't know or doesn't have. Responding like he does you favour. Terrible.
Incorrect timing. They were closed before 11.
