Okay, so I've generally had a very good experience at Teva Drugs, however, the best way to explain is to share a story.
This past fall, I was sick for 10 weeks. I don't have a primary care physician here - I am just a student, and my health insurance is a Wisconsin HMO that only covers pharmacy, urgentcare, and the hospital in areas out-of-network - and so I had to rely on going to urgentcare in order to receive medical attention. One of my last times going to urgent care (perhaps the last time because I didn't go again specifically because of this incident) The doctor there provided me with an incorrect prescription, something that would have interacted with my current medications to cause disastrous consequences. When I came to Teva Drugs, and handed the pharmacist the prescription, he looked at it, and said "What did they prescribe this for?" (Because they didn't even write that on the prescription - they left that field blank). When I told him, he said "I'm not going to fill this, and you can have it back, if you want to sue the doctors for malpractice." The doctor at urgentcare had prescribed an amphetamine three times a day at a significant dose to treat a cough, which was complete malpractice, to an extreme degree! The staff at the pharmacy cares about you as a person, and isn't afraid to take the extra step to keep you safe and healthy. I would recommend them over chain outlets any day, and even among non-chain pharmacies, I have yet to see one that measures up.
