I wasnt as healthy as Id like to be and sought out Dr. Dworkins help. The quality of his help was excellent and I was immediately put on an intensive regime/diet after what was in my opinion a very thorough look through at my health profile that fell shy of outside testing--like blood work, saliva analysis and the sort. As thorough as possible without that testing. He looks at your most recent blood work profiles if you have them. He was very thorough explaining the hows and whys things happen to your body, which I really appreciate and never really had before. You wont find his level of attention in any doctors office; he does this because he likes to help people and you can tell! I do like to buy some of my health food there (love the seaweed chips and Joannas Kale Pesto stuff) and in my experience, Erika has always been very attentive, helpful, and she listens when Im being a whiney baby about my diet and helps me come up with great ideas to keep going. Shes very encouraging and Im very grateful for her and her father (Dr. Dworkin)! Just supportive, helpful, a lovely small business. I was shocked to see any review less than one star. Staff tries to help when they can and engage you usually as you walk in but dont harass you, which I like. Its not overbearing. Erika, when suggesting, suggests things that she doesnt sell as well for ideas to keep going on your way to try to be healthy, which to me says shes actually trying to help and not necessarily out to make a sale... Like different ways to try eating this dish or that dish. I could shop elsewhere, but I like this shop. And some of the items there, believe it or not, are cheaper than Price Chopper! That soy milk, um yes! Overall, its honestly one of my favorite stores, if not my favorite! Thanks Erika and staff!

I entered the store hoping to find Kali Bichromicum for an ill friend with a cold. Having limited knowledge of homeopathic remedies and having never been in this store, I immediately sought out an employee to direct me to the area in which they sell Kali Bichromicum. I approached a woman behind the register. I said hello. Without greeting me , She asked, " do you need help? ". Now, clearly I approached her for a reason , but it wasnt for a split second psychological diagnosis of whether or not I needed help, especially from someone behind a register in a lab coat. I found her slithering question rude, and a perfect example of sophomoric sarcasm. Well done! I promptly answered saying I was looking for homeopathic remedies, Kali Bichromicum to be exact. She brought me to correct isle. I then asked her the difference between 6c potency and 30c potency. Her answer was, "Its complicated". Immediately upon hearing her answer, another employee in a lab coat began laughing and offered no answer either. As I stood there surprised by their lack of teamwork, she finally said that 6c is meant mainly for children and 30c is more for adults. I suppose it pays to be rude to those in your community when the potency of your customer service is highly diluted. Thanks,Parkade Health Shoppe, for not giving a rats rump about your products or your customers. You are well received!

Great selection, especially for the Manchester area. My only complaint is the staff is wishy washy. Sometimes they are great, friendly, helps, and other times a little nasty. Every SINGLE time I go there Im followed like Im going to steal something. Calm down, Im in my 30s, have a salary job, and pay for my items. I do like the membership points system, it gives me incentive to shop there

This seems to be the only local place to buy rye berries, if it wasnt I would go some where else immediately! Same experience as the person before, the employees talking instead of ringing out customers, it wasnt until I almost walked out did they realize their mistake. Im sorry to say I have to go back there later this week...

I asked if they had raw cocoa and they pointed me to Chatfields cocoa and told me it was raw even though it did not say that specifically. I bought it believing so, but later found out that it is not raw. It specifically says on Chatfields website that it is not raw. I was sold.

A lot of stuff is wildly over priced but the employees are sweet and helpful and its always nice to see whats new in the world of self-healing. Also they have great vitamin gummies.

Great place for probiotics and other healthy products. The staff here is always friendly and will be very informative if you ask about a product.

We have shopped this store for 20 years and are very satisfied.

No pressure but helpful staff, not a chain store, really care.
