Dismayed Today, when…read morecalling Mabank Family Pharmacy to check on my Thyroid medication, I was informed that they denied my prescription because "they would lose too much money if they filled it." I was then advised to "just call around to see if someone else will fill it, because they aren't going to." I'm a strong believer in supporting local businesses. My husband, family and friends all use Mabank Family Pharmacy. (Though, as of today, my husband will no longer) This decision was made not by them simply denying my prescription, but by the way it was handled and how they went about it. Instead of further discussing this concern, and maybe as a courtesy filling my prescription this one time and letting me know that moving forward they won't be able to, due to the cost, they instead denied my medication that I critically need without any disregard to my health. I find it ironic, that on their website it states "We go above and beyond to make sure our community is taken care of the same way we would treat our own family." It's hard to believe that they would in fact treat their own family members this way.

Very dismayed by the service and value here. My family has used this pharmacy for three…read moregenerations. Recently, we have had to move my mother's, my wife's and my own prescriptions to other pharmacies. I spoke to the owner yesterday to express my dissatisfaction. Some of his comments, "we aren't a charity, we are for profit," 'we don't price match on controlled substances because because there is a high problem across the county with drug abuse," and "higher quality costs more." Regarding his comment about controlled substances, this is a large part of why people turn to illegal drugs. I've had a family member (in another state) who had an injury and was put on Percocet. When she couldn't afford the high cost, she turned to crack. Regarding the cost vs quality comment, we have had multiple prescriptions which we were told were ready, only to go pick up a small portion (3 of 90) and then have to return another day. Having to make two trips for the same rx doesn't feel like quality service to me. They also refuse to take GoodRX because while we, the customer gets to pay less, he said the pharmacy actually gets a bill for additional costs ($5). Their Facebook page says "While others choose conglomerates, we believe in the power of local. Because you're not just a customer to us, you're our neighbor, our friend, and part of our pharmacy family. At Mabank Family Pharmacy, we pride ourselves on our unrivaled customer service and understanding your unique needs. We've been serving this town longer than any chain store, and we plan on keeping it that way!" We sure don't feel like friends or family by having poor service and to have to pay more. Unrivaled customer service isn't making us make multiple trips or paying more. And lastly, at least the conglomerates can fill entire prescriptions and don't gouge prices as much as this "family" pharmacy.

They speak "at you" in a condescending manner and then REFUSE to fill your prescriptions for pain medication, even when you explain to them that your doctor-patient communication is transparent and fully within federal guidelines! They treat all pain patients as though we're all drug-seeking addicts, and never even consider that there are genuine conditions where the pain is so intense that many of us feel we'd rather be dead than live in such agony. Personally, I have nearly 42 YEARS of addiction RECOVERY under my belt. I have spoken at countless schools. Prisons and other institutions regarding the disease of addiction. Clearly their so-called education teaches them little other than to demonize all pain patients. Their ignorance could cost people their lives. Something needs to be done about the way the medical "professionals" and pharmacists treat people eho are already suffering. It's not my choice to need pain relief. It saddens me deeply the ignorant and distasteful way that ESPECIALLY WALMART GBC Pharmacy belittles patients, talks down to us, and refuses to fill our prescriptions even when the request does not violate any local or federal laws. They're pathetic and abusive!

While it does still remain the worst pharmacy interaction of my life, the vast majority of my interactions have been positive. As a result, I'm rerating the pharmacy and toning down my review. I hate leaving a bad review based on one bad experience. And, no, I was not asked to revise my review. I'm doing this on my own free will because everybody and every business have a bad day from time to time. Worst pharmacy experience of my life. The Walmart Pharmacy app prompted me on a Saturday if I wanted to refill a prescription. I clicked refill. App tells me medication will be ready on Sunday. I go in on Sunday and prescription is not ready. In fact, they inform me, it's "too soon" to refill the prescription. I get treated like a criminal. Fortunately the next day I didn't have to deal with the weekend pharmacist and my problem was solved. Hopefully this won't happen again and I'm not trusting the Walmart Pharmacy as much. It's just not synced up very well with reality. Humiliating situation.

Again... one was ready.. we had to ask for the last one and they wanted to give me flack stating "ma'am we are about to close" and "we don't have ur insurance" (after just picking up meds using insurance the week prior). Then she says "you can use the GoodRx price". I finally just gave in and said "fill the dang things I don't care what it costs I have been without meds for two weeks". What do people do at this place when they have truly life threatening conditions!!??!! Ohhhh. And guess what.. when I husband gets there to pick them up.... They don't fill them again!!!!
