just go with Mr. ...because you wouldn't really say "Mr Johson, M.S."

not really. just never thought they deserved to be considered doctors in general. And im referring to the pharmacists who only really stand a step higher and are able to count pills as they put them in a bottle which a real doctor told them to do.
Pharmacists who actually work in medicine creating new drugs etc are smart ppl and deserve respect. but most of them are just glorified bottle fillers.

It's a pharm D degree..or doctorate of Pharmacy. Ph.D's are addressed as doctors though yes?

A Pharm D probably understands more about drugs and biology than 99% of medical doctors. The program is just as long and just as hard, save for residency I imagine

PhD sometimes, though not preferred (personally at least). PharmD no, never. If you address a pharmD as Dr you are going to come off as a kiss ass. Come to think of it, same goes for PhD.
Edit: The Dr title is generally reserved for clinicians.

wow. the pharmacist i go to is great. my wife is allergic to penicillin. she had a emergency and the doctor gave her a penicillin generic. we get to the pharmacy to fill it up. he knows my wife is allergic to it and called the doctor about it. at first they refused to change it to something else until they actually looked in her records. took like 2 hours before she got something she can use.
