If I could give it zero stars, I would. On Sunday, January 12th at approximately 12:05AM, my…read morehusband went to thisstore after I specifically had a televisit with a doctor for a medical issue that required antibiotics. We chose to pay 69 dollars for this televisit through Jefferson Health because I was very sick and needed medication right away. We also chose to go this route because on the website we saw that store #5715 was open 24 hours, including the pharmacy. My husband headed to the store only to discover upon arrival, a sign saying they were closed, pharmacy only open from 8am - 10pm and the store only open until midnight. And this went into effect starting on December 22nd! This store is a 26 minute drive (8.5 miles) away from my home. So you can imagine the major inconvenience. This brings me to my major point: NOWHERE ON THE WEBSITE OR THE STORE PHONE ANSWERING SERVICE DID IT SAY THE DIFFERENCE IN HOURS! We chose to do what we did for my health based on the fact that I could get the antibiotic from this "open pharmacy" that same night. If I knew they were closed, I would have waited to go to an Express Care and paid 49 dollars less to see a doctor in person. Plus we wasted time and gas in our car driving all the way to the store just to find out it was closed. It cost me time and money.

Something has changed at this Walgreens' location--staff was super friendly!…read more Though most convenient, this has not been my favorite Walgreens to patronize. Mostly because staff has historically been indifferent at best, downright rude at worst. Recently, however, on two separate occasions, I've found staff members--including at least one manager--to be warm, friendly, and helpful. On the first occasion, discounts from my Walgreens' rewards weren't reflecting on my bill. This is not unusual, as it seems to happen frequently at all businesses that use rewards. Oftentimes, employees get frustrated and flustered (as do the people in the growing lines behind me) and employees get mad at me, as if it's my fault. The manager was called over and calmly remedied the issue, including calling a second cashier to handle other customers. On the second occasion, I must admit I was in a bad mood, so when the sale item I wanted wasn't on the shelf (even though the online system said it should have been), I was annoyed. The young man stocking shelves was, unfortunately for him, the first employee I encountered. In my scariest mom voice, I asked why the items that were supposed to be there were not. He used his handheld gizmo and said there should be more in the back and went to check. I wanted two, he came back with one, and apologized for the computer system being wrong. I immediately felt guilty because, of course, it wasn't his fault and this intelligent young man killed me with kindness. I thanked him, he told me to have a nice day, and I apologized for being crabby. He accepted my apology with grace. A new Walgreens, indeed.

I have been picking my medications up at this CVS for a year. I have had some more minor issues…read moreover the past year, both related to the customer service and the way meds have been filled, but nothing that left such a bad taste in my mouth like what happened yesterday. The closest thing that comes to this is when I called them last summer for clarification on a med and the same pharmacist I'm going to speak about later was extremely rude, easily frustrated, and ended up hanging up on me mid conversation. Anyways, fast forward to present time. I am on a transdermal gel medication. The instructions my doctor gave stated apply 1 packet to each arm once a day. However, the pharmacy was insistent that a 1 month supply would be 30 packets. Since the instructions stated "each" I took this to mean 2 packets a day (1 per arm). When I initially pointed this out to the pharmacy using the CVS messaging app I was told that wasn't clear and I would need to contact my Doctor to send a clearer prescription. Messaged my doctor, she messaged me back and said I was correct and it should be 2 packets a day. I got an alert a few days later that my prescription was ready. When I went to the pharmacy to pick up the updated prescription, they gave me 80 packets but stated that would be a 2 month supply. When I clarified that I did get confirmation from my doctor that it should be 2 packets daily, the pharmacist took me away from the pharmacy tech I was initially speaking to (She is lovely, by the way. Somewhat older white woman with tattoos. She has always been super kind). He started by saying that your instructions were wrong and the fact that they say "each" arm does not imply 2 packets. I asked him to read the instructions he saw on his computer to me and he refused. I also tried showing him my doctor's message on my phone and he wouldn't even move his eyes. He started getting combative, and he said my boyfriend and I were being aggressive (I really dont think we were). I asked him for the box back so that I could reach the instructions myself. I knew my doctor had updated something to make it clearer for them, but I wasn't yet sure what that was. When I pointed out that the updated instructions say "1 packet to each arm for a total dose 40.5 mg daily" and each packet has 20.25 mg (it says that on the box), he refused to acknowledge me and said that doesnt matter. He said if I left with the two boxes they would not refill for 2 months, even if my doctor sends updated instructions. He then continued to say we were being aggressive when we were simply trying to clarify or point out the total mg required daily that was CLEARLY written on the instructions, and he started stating that he was refusing to speak to my boyfriend, telling him to shut his mouth, and speaking over him to continue speaking rudely to me. I was so upset by this situation, but I had been out of my meds for a week now and I couldn't just leave with nothing, so I took my 2 boxes and left. Now I'm left with either running out a month early or applying every other day so I make it through. I'm so upset by this situation and the way he spoke to us. I'm truly not an aggressive or combative person, but I also will not stand there and take disrespect. I will be switching to a different CVS. I'm not sure if anything can be done so that I receive a refill in 1 month rather than 2, but I cant keep going to this CVS regardless. I've read through a lot of the other reviews here, and I do believe a lot of us are talking about the same pharmacist given the quotes some of you provided. He is a middle aged black man and I believe he's the only older man that works in the pharmacy. I called 1 (800) 746-7287 to file a complaint with CVS against him, and I encourage many of you to do the same. I was told the district manager would be speaking with him. After I spoke with her, my doctor also called and the pharmacist told her that he refused to fill this medication for me ever again. Good riddance.

Service is very proficient and prompt…read more However, from day one I had an issue with their Tech /customer service representative. Who yes never said anything wrong but always rushing to give you any information with an attitude. I always let go didn't pay attention- giving her excuses working in pharmacy myself for the past 12 years may be she was busy/ had a bad day or this is just how she gets through the day trying to be speedy as much as she can with her interactions/calls. Until I asked for a refill for my medication and upon asking her what would be the cost for 1 month versus 2 months. I was surprised I was told it's so much cheaper than the first time. So, I used the repeat back method to make sure I have heard her correctly apparently she knew her info; yet, she wasn't paying attention and she quoted me for a much less value by mistake not listening attentively to my question and rushing like before. Upon pickup, I was quoted for the correct price about what I was thinking. So, when I tried to just clarify to her I wasn't told so. She started raising her voice /tone talked with an attitude on how she knows her medicine and pricing and how long she has been dealing with these medications. And that there is no way she quoted me for something else. It's seriously, not a big deal and even if I was the wrong one who forgot or didn't pay attention- I just try to fix the issue. I never spoke to my patients in such an attitude and when I tried to tell another tech she has an attitude. I was told she is my mom so. I was silent not because I couldn't complain further; yet, It wasn't worth my time it was a hopeless case. Since, when we address family connections at work or take it into consideration. So, it wasn't worth it to me because she will of course defend her mom and not pay attention to how she really talks. Also, me being there in the waiting area and hearing the daughter talking about me in a condescending way and how she knows her mom and not respecting even I was still there was more unprofessional. It's sad because the pharmacy is great; yet, if I ever need such special medication again I would rather drive and not have to deal with such customer service /attitude!

When you at that time try to use you GoodRx card that your Doctor provided to use for the over-the-counter item. They tell you that the card will not work. Which is not true. As you to correct them on the misinformation you are then subjected to micro aggressive responses. Then told that if you wanted to try another RiteAid they will provide the prescription over the phone, Then someone hands you the store number. But that's not the worst of it. As you proceed to a nearby isle, you literally can overhear them laughing and mocking you. This has not been my first encounter, The same situation happened again. You may ask why do you keep going there? Well unfortunately the longtime Rite Aid I was going to for the past 14 year closed down in Bethlehem and this is the closest one. There should be no reason for this unprofessionalism. I hope this is addressed, before someone files a serious complaint to the State Board of Pharmacy. I do have to make clear that the Pharmacy in Rite Aid is a complete separate entity from the store itself. The store staff are amazing and always helpful.
