Welcome to AV Chemist
We're more than just a pharmacy, we're your neighbors, your health advocates, and your partners in wellness. Located in the heart of Glendale, Queens, AV Chemist is an independent, family-owned pharmacy dedicated to providing personalized care that puts you first.
No long lines. No impersonal service. Just friendly faces, professional guidance, and prescriptions delivered with a smile.
Our Story
AV Chemist was founded in 2020 with a simple mission: to bring personalized, compassionate pharmacy care back to Queens. In a world of chain pharmacies with long wait times and impersonal service, we wanted to create something different, a place where everyone knows your name and your health matters.
Why We Chose Glendale
We didn't just pick a location, we chose to become part of the Glendale community. Located at the crossroads of Queens neighborhoods on Myrtle Avenue, Glendale represents what we love most about Queens: hardworking families, tight-knit communities, and neighbors who look out for each other.
Our pharmacy sits just minutes from Forest Park, easily accessible from Ridgewood, Middle Village, and Maspeth. We're your neighbors, you'll see us at the Glendale Civic Association events, supporting local schools, and shopping at the same stores you do.
We're proud to serve the diverse communities of Glendale, Ridgewood, Middle Village, Maspeth, and all of Queens. Whether you're picking up a prescription, getting a flu shot, or asking our pharmacists for advice, you'll always be treated like family, because in Glendale, that's what neighbors do.
Beyond standard pharmacy services, we can help coordinate eligible compounded medication requests when off-the-shelf options don't fit your needs. From pediatric flavoring to bioidentical hormone therapy, allergen-free formulations to discontinued medications, AV Chemist routes eligible prescriptions through a licensed third-party compounding pharmacy partner. Compounded medications are not prepared on site at AV Chemist.
From day one, we've offered free delivery throughout Queens, NYC, and New Jersey, because we believe your health shouldn't depend on your ability to visit a pharmacy. We know Myrtle Avenue traffic. We know the best routes through Middle Village. We know which streets to avoid during rush hour. We're local, and we're here for you 24/7, with emergency pharmacy services available when you need us most. Medical emergencies don't wait for business hours, and neither do we. Call (929) 387-8111 anytime, day or night.
