Maybe my expectations were high since this place was a block and a half from where I live and it got high ratings on yelp, but the pharmacist here was acting like a biatch!! My girlfriend called the pharmacy with the number listed on yelp asking if I can pick up her pain prescription since she was hit by a car and couldn't walk. The lady on the phone said it wouldn't be a problem and that I can come over and pick it up on her behalf. When I arrived, I handed the prescription to a lady with brown hair and told her my girlfriend just called and that I was filling her prescription. She said she couldn't do this but walked over to the biatch (ie, pharmacist) and asked if this would be okay, which she said it wouldn't. I then said we just called 5 minutes ago and asked if I can pick this up on my girlfriend's behalf. She asked what number I called and showed her the number on yelp which she acknowledged was the pharmacy's number. Then she started stating that no one called and policy doesn't allow others to pick-up prescriptions. Even worse, she starts questioning the prescription stating that the hospital is in Maryland and she can't fulfill the order, which is completely absurd since I've never heard of not being able to fulfill a prescription because it's out of state. Anyway, to say the least, I won't be going back to this pharmacy. It may be convenient and not crowded, but the service at this place blows. Is it worse than CVS....in my opinion, yes. read more

You might not think much about where you get your prescriptions filled, but you should! Bioscrip is not your average pharmacy. It is a small national chain that is more specialized that most. They are in a category called specialty pharma (hence the name) but still operate like a regular CVS, Rite Aid etc and fill regular prescriptions as well. They take all major insurance plans (like everyone else) but here is where they depart from the norm. SERVICE, SERVICE, SERVICE! They are extremely friendly, helpful, and best of all, lightning fast! They normally have at least 2 pharmacists working, plus pharmacy techs, and a cashier. If you time it right you can literally get right in and out in less than 5 minutes. The most I have ever waited was 15 minutes and that was before a holiday weekend. Normally you barely have time to sit down before they call you back up. All for the same co-pay as everywhere else! This is the Lexus dealer of pharmacies. Why deal with the inconsistent, crowded, and often rude service of the local CVS when you can go to Bioscrip? The only downsides: only 1 location and no real selection of OTC items - they have some basics but this is pretty much a true pharmacy. One other perk - free delivery! read more

I waited 45 minutes for a flu shot here at 2 pm on a Tuesday. There was one other person there the whole time. They admitted they just plain forgot about me. A waste of a lunch hour! Also, it always looks closed. read more

*This location is now called Walgreens Specialty Pharmacy* I've been going to CVS for years and complaining about the long waits, rude service and incompetency, not realizing there was a better option around the corner! I decided to have my new prescription filled here. The pharmacists here helped me right away and said they would fill my NEW prescription on the spot! I was shocked. I waited at most 10 minutes. I've waited on the pick up line at CVS for longer than this!! They take the same insurance as the other drugstores and the co-pay was the same. The only negative is that they are only open M-F 9am-6pm. read more

Super friendly. No hastle. Will ship prescription to your house once a month! Love it and everyone is so kind there. It's a great place! :) Also, this location is now a Walgreens Pharmacy. read more

After dealing with the disastrous 14th & W CVS, I tried this Walgreens Community pharmacy today. Even as a brand new patient with a new prescription I was out the door in under 15 minutes. The pharmacist came to give me suggestions about how best to use the medication, and she was able to answer a few questions I had regarding how it might affect my allergy shots. I was quite impressed. I will definitely be transferring my CVS prescriptions here, even though it's a bit farther from my house. read more

First off, no one knows this Walgreens Pharmacy is even in the neighborhood because it's unrecognizable from the street and sidewalk. It has terrible window covers that hide its inside and there's a sign that's about the size of a dinner plate on the door. They have very serious phone issues as often times the phone just rings and rings and rings, other times it will ring a few times and go into voice mail- this in the middle of the day. I called the other day to be sure they had a medication I was given a prescription for before I left the medical building that had a pharmacy on the first floor- at 11:00am- no one answered the phone. I just filled my prescription at the medical center. The staff isn't friendly and give the appearance that they're extremely busy and unavailable even though I've never seen more than 2 customers inside. The female Pharmacy Manager (Heather?) gives lots of high- I'm so busy and can't right now- drama. Lot's of unhappy, could care less vibes going on here. I once waited 15 minutes, with not a single other customer inside just to ask the pharmacist a question. He finally approached me with a frown and a you're bothering me attitude. Whatever. I think there is a partitioned office with an open top of some sorts next to the cash register counter because I once heard a woman talking pharmacy talk in there almost screaming at someone- it was a very uncomfortable situation. If any of them ever tell you they're going to contact your doctor- they do not, that's their not-so-sly way of getting rid of you. The alternative is the dreadful CVS around the corner on P Street which I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy, if I had one. I stick to this Walgreens because it's convenient but it's far from a pleasant experience. If Walgreens for your prescriptions is your thing and you can make the walk- go to the one on 22nd St- it's amazing- friendly, helpful and they genuinely seem to care about you as a customer with prescription needs. It's truly a sad day when pharmacies have lost the idea that people need pharmacies because they have health problems- no one wants health problems, the least they could do is make the experience one that is as pleasant and helpful as possible- neither of which this Walgreens Pharmacy does. read more

I'd give them 10 stars if I could.... Walgreens 14th St. is all that a pharmacy should be - professional, personal, competent, and caring. From Bio-Script to Community now to Walgreens - the team led by Heather Free and Kendra Frassetto have been true partners with my physician and me in my health care for over nearly eight years. You're not just a customer, you're a person, a patient, an individual. I am constantly blown away by the "small town" personal service I receive each and every time I call or stop in - certainly not what I expected in the middle of downtown Washington, DC. I know I'm not unique in my experience. I could shop around or go the mail order route - no thank you. I am loyal to the incredible staff at Walgreens 14th Street. They are a true asset to the neighborhood, the broader community and Walgreens. Thank you all. read more
