Healthcare on Your Terms, When You Need It Most

Life doesn’t always go according to plan—and that includes managing your health. At MedPlus Pharmacy, we understand that patients don’t just need care—they need convenient, flexible access to care that fits into their lives. That’s why accessibility is one of our top priorities.

From timely prescription refills to doorstep delivery, MedPlus is redefining what it means to be a neighborhood pharmacy in Alexandria, Virginia—and across the greater Washington DC area.

Meeting Patients Where They Are

Our customers lead busy lives. Between work, family responsibilities, and personal health challenges, making a pharmacy trip isn’t always easy. That’s why we’ve designed our services to offer flexibility without sacrificing quality.

Here’s how we make care more accessible every day:

Free local delivery for prescriptions and OTC essentials
Flexible refill options via phone, text, and online request
Walk-in and scheduled consultations with a licensed pharmacist
Multilingual support to serve our diverse patient population
Prompt insurance coordination to avoid unnecessary delays

By focusing on real-life needs, we help eliminate many of the common barriers that prevent people from accessing the medications and health services they need.

A Focus on Affordability and Support

Accessibility isn’t just about convenience—it’s also about cost. For many patients, affordability is one of the biggest hurdles in managing long-term health. That’s why MedPlus is committed to helping customers save wherever possible.

We work hard behind the scenes to:

Assist with copay optimization for common medications
Help patients qualify for manufacturer assistance programs
Support 340B eligible patients and clinics
Advise on lower-cost generic alternatives

In many cases, our pharmacists will proactively contact doctors to request more affordable substitutes, always keeping patients’ best interests in mind. When affordability improves, adherence increases—and that leads to healthier outcomes for the people we serve.

The MedPlus Difference: Personal Attention, Real Relationships

What truly sets MedPlus apart is the level of care we bring to every interaction. While larger chain pharmacies often prioritize speed over service, we believe personal connection should never be sacrificed. Our team takes time to learn your name, remember your needs, and follow up with genuine concern.

It’s not uncommon for our pharmacists to call a patient to check on how a new medication is going or to remind them about a refill they might’ve forgotten. These are small actions that make a big difference in the lives of our patients.

We also go beyond the counter by partnering with local healthcare providers to offer integrated support for chronic conditions, specialty therapies, and preventive care.

A Community Pharmacy With a Wider Reach

Although our pharmacy is proudly rooted in Alexandria, we serve a much larger footprint—including Bailey’s Crossroads, Landmark, Arlington, Potomac, and the surrounding neighborhoods. Our reputation has grown through word-of-mouth referrals, partnerships, and an unwavering commitment to treating every person like family.

Expanding Our Services to Meet Modern Needs

We’re constantly adapting to make healthcare easier, not harder. That’s why MedPlus continues to expand services that support modern lifestyles, including:

Medication synchronization so all prescriptions are refilled together
Telepharmacy consultations for non-urgent support and advice
Private vaccination appointments for flu, COVID-19, and other immunizations
Text notifications and reminders to stay on top of your treatment

These solutions are especially valuable for elderly patients, busy professionals, parents managing medications for children, and anyone who wants a more streamlined approach to staying healthy.

Let’s Connect Beyond the Counter

We’re more than a pharmacy—we’re a community resource, advocate, and partner in your care. If you’re a healthcare provider, care coordinator, or industry professional, we’d love to connect with you, too.
