I recently moved to this side of town and switched to this pharmacy from another Albertsons in another part of Eugene. Pharmacies here are flaky at best, especially in the past few years, so my expectations were low. I haven't had any regular prescriptions refilled here yet but I did have a one-time prescription filled right before a surgery. My doctor sent the prescription to them and it was ready the same day.
When I arrived around 6pm there was a short line - I think there were two people in line and one at each of the two registers. I only waited about five minutes before I was called forward. The pharmacy tech Karen grabbed my meds and started looking at the price. One was less than a dollar, the other was closer to $60. Karen went above and beyond to try to get me a cheaper price, trying three different coupon cards with no luck. I ended up paying out of pocket because it was somehow cheaper than with insurance, but I really appreciated the help that Karen gave me with the price.
One of my meds had to be released by the pharmacist, who came over immediately to talk me through it. He was very nice and thorough, didn't try to rush me through it at all. He talked quietly since the medication was a sensitive one, something I didn't know I would appreciate as much as I did.
I'm hoping I continue to have a positive experience here. So many pharmacies are getting slower and less friendly and I would hate to see that happen here. read more
