Dr. Jolly's

I’m from the valley, was visiting for a Bach party. The store was great. Ginger was absolutely amazing!! I was already a HUGE fan of Dr. Jolly’s the brand. After our experience with her a couple weeks ago, it sealed the deal. I’m a lifer. Thank you Ginger for your excellent customer service!! You are the reason for the raving review!!!!!

This location happened to be a few blocks away from the hotel I was staying at when I first got to Bend on Monday. After checking out their menu on here, and after my husband stopped by, I decided to take a peek. It's a little confusing at first because it's in a shopping center and the door is actually on the back of the building, but just keep walking, you won't regret it. Upon entry they have a wide open waiting room with lots of goodies (reading material & gorgeous glass). There was no wait or rush. The budtender immediately let me know they were family owned an operated, huge score in my opinion. I told her I was looking for a nice ADD strain and ended up leaving with an 1/8 of Jack Herer which I'd heard was a fantastic strain for that. It is, btw. Dr. Jolly's has punch cards so you earn awards as you shop and they also have great deals. The only thing I don't like is plastic packaging. My husband picked up some Slymer and it was featured so he got to bring back a lovely glass jar, but they recycle the plastic ones so that makes up for it. They get their inventory lab tested and both percentages and price are listed on each product. This is a lovely dispensary, I will definitely be back.

On 1st of February I took a tour of some of the local establishments in Bend. When I travel to other places in Oregon my friend and I like to take Dispensary tours. Dr Jolly was a bright little spot in the tour. It was busy for a Monday afternoon but that could be due to there Mega Monday Sale. Once in back Henry, our bud tender, was very knowledgable and there was a wide selection of leaf, edibles, wax,...... To include clones. This was the first store I have ever seen that and was impressed with the selection and display of the clones. All other products were displayed with numbers and price. The layout of the store was great with a good mix of medical and recreational stations. The store also offers a Veteran Discount which always makes me happy. I bought some Hiesenberg, Critical Cure and Trokie.

I have only been twice, so I can't act as if I have the full picture of how Dr. Jolly's typically is...but these are my impressions so far. On my first visit, the budtender was amazing. He seemed genuinely interested in helping, passionate, respectful, and did not push me or try to upsell. I was thrilled on that visit. My second visit left a little bit of a sour taste in my mouth. The budtender that time would NOT leave me alone to make up my own mind despite me making numerous (very polite) attempts to let him know I wanted to think about my purchases myself. The entire time was spent with him aggressively pushing one strain or another, sticking the jar in my face. It was as if every time he started "suggesting" a strain, he wanted me to simply cave in and go "yeah, that's what I want". He simply could not let me browse on my own and take my time (wasn't even in there long, and was the ONLY customer at the time). He also had a very patronizing and condescending tone througout, and by the ends was making no effort to conceal his shitty attitude, and flat out said something like "Okay, can you make up your mind", with a tone implying that I was somehow wasting his time. It's kind of hard to make a decision when someone is trying to bait you and push product the ENTIRE time. I will have to go in a few more times, because as of now I will assume that that visit was just a fluke. Like I said, my first visit was very much positive. I give the first budtender 5 stars without question, but the second only deserved 1 star IF that. The quality has been very good so far. Prices are a little on the higher side, but not outrageous by any means for the quality.
