Customers repeatedly report finding the medicines they needed, including one visit where all medicines were available.
Pharmacists are praised for answering questions patiently and explaining treatment or product choices clearly.
A pharmacist spent 30 minutes with an insurance company to help secure approval for an expensive medicine.
For a burn, the pharmacist contacted a dermatologist, recommended a cream, and arranged home delivery.
A customer received simple explanations of skincare products even without buying anything.
When Tamiflu was unavailable, staff arranged it through another branch and updated the customer.
One customer described getting all their medicine during a quick visit.
Check prices. Before ordering delivery, compare the cream’s price with the app; one review found 83 AED versus 66 AED.
Check orders. Count every item at delivery, especially for Talabat orders, as one customer received two of three items.
Allow buffer. For time-sensitive medicine deliveries, leave extra time: one order was confirmed at 8:30pm but remained undelivered at 11:20pm.
Ask other branches. If a medicine is unavailable locally, ask whether another branch can arrange it, as happened with Tamiflu.
Bring translation. Russian speakers may want a translation app ready; one customer used Google Translate to explain what they needed.
Ask about approval. For expensive prescriptions, ask whether the pharmacy can help with insurance approval before payment or collection.

The Bottom Line
Aster Pharmacy serves the Jumeirah Village Triangle community with prescription and everyday pharmacy needs. Reviews are especially useful for medicine availability: several customers said they found all the medicines they wanted, while another received Tamiflu after staff arranged it through another branch. Delivery is also available, including a burn case where a pharmacist contacted a dermatologist, supplied a cream, and delivered it to the customer’s home.
The strongest reason to visit in person is the pharmacist support. Customers describe patient explanations, simple skincare guidance, and hands-on help with insurance approval for expensive medicine. One pharmacist spent 30 minutes with the insurance company, which could matter if a prescription is not straightforward.
There are a few practical cautions. Delivery performance was inconsistent: one Talabat order arrived with two of three items, and another medicine order was still missing at 11:20pm after an 8:30pm confirmation. Check your bag before the driver leaves and allow extra time for urgent orders.
Also compare prices across channels; one cream was charged at 83 AED for delivery while the app listed it at 66 AED. Russian speakers may need a translation app, although one customer successfully used Google Translate.
