- Convenient, Consistent (mostly), and Surprisingly Underrated Look, I've read the horror stories. The one-star pharmacy reviews. The rage-filled rants about rudeness and chaos. And hey--I believe them! But here's the plot twist: I don't deal with the pharmacy. I pick up my prescriptions from Walmart, so I happily skip the drama and get to enjoy everything else Walgreens has to offer without the headache. This Walgreens on 535? It's my go-to for all the little things that keep a household running: gift cards, shampoo, toilet paper, and photo prints. Yep, we're still those people who print actual photos, and Walgreens has never let us down in that department. Now, we did go through a weird phase where gift cards would randomly show up as void at the register, which turned into a fun little game of "Will It Scan?" But honestly? That issue seems to have sorted itself out. We've had no problems lately, and I'll chalk it up to a glitchy moment in Walgreens history. Pickup orders are mostly smooth. Sometimes the app will say "delayed" for absolutely no reason (ghosts, probably), but 9 times out of 10 it's ready when we swing by, and the whole process is quick and painless. Do the staff go above and beyond? No. But they also don't get in my way, and I'm not here for small talk. I'm here to grab my stuff, earn my rewards (shoutout to my wife who is basically the Walgreens deal queen), and get out. In a world of chaotic pharmacies, long lines, and mysterious coupon codes that don't work, this Walgreens stands out for being fine. Totally fine. Actually kinda great. I'll keep coming back for the convenience alone. Pro tip: Use the app. Stack the deals. Avoid the pharmacy unless you like living dangerously. read more

SLOW! Dropped off prescription at 2pm it's 730pm and still not ready. Publix would have had it done in an hour. I assume they're short handed like usual. Please staff appropriately!! read more

I have starteed to use this location as a FedEx pickup location. First of all, it's easy. Second, it's convenient. Third, they will hold my delivery for 5 business days! I figured out last month that this Walgreens was my closest FedEx holding location after a Christmas package required a signature and wasn't left for us while we were on vacation. Rather than drive to the warehouse, FedEx offered to drop it off at the closest location for us, this Walgreens. Fast forward to this past weekend. I was getting another delivery that required a signature. I immediately called Fedex and asked them to send it here for me, knowing that I wasn't going to be home all day long. My package was delivered on Monday, and I finally made it over tonight to pick it up. The staff was very friendly, and when the lady at the photo center had trouble finding it, she quickly asked a supervisor for help. Within 5 minutes I was walking out with my package. I will definitely do this again. It's a piece of mind, and that's worth a little drive out of my way to get something delivered quick read more

I just went to Walgreen's on Conroy Windermere Rd, Windermere, to drop off three boxes with FedEx shipping labels. They accepted 2 of the three boxes and denied one box as it was larger. They were not nice to me either, all three employees. The box sizes were: 27"x26"x16" and weighed 14 pounds. The other two boxes were the same size, 22"x16"x13". One weighed 20 pounds and the other weighed 17 pounds. The two smaller boxes, which they accepted, were larger and heavier together that the one larger box! First of all, I see no sign at Walgreen's that says they only accept this size and not that size. This was a case of 3 unfriendly Walgreen's employees. I'm not happy. read more

The store is just as nice as any other Walgreens. What brings this place down is the pharmacy. It's the poster child of dysfunction. As much as I love going into a Walgreens to buy a bunch of unnecessary stuff while picking up my prescription refill, I think I'll have to move my prescriptions over to Publix. read more

Curtis in the pharmacy went above and beyond helping me get my prescription and is super friendly

I totally understand that it's not the poor person on the phones fault for having to close the pharmacy early, but this is a constant problem at this location. My vaccine (again) needed to be rescheduled because they don't have enough people to work. That's absolutely NOT the fault of the people that did show up, however this closing early happens constantly so I'm taking my business elsewhere. This is the 3rd or 4th time over a period of 3 months this has happened. What's the point of scheduling something when they can't keep the appointment? Now I've wasted more of my time because whoever is in charge of keeping the pharmacy manned, can't do their job. Sad, annoying and will cost them more business. read more

I read some of the reviews. I would have to disagree with most of them. We moved to this side of town and this is our new Walgreens. The pharmacy is speedy, accurate, and even knows us when we pull up. The five stars is really for the pharmacy. We have not had any trouble with the pharmacy in the drive through or on the inside. The store itself seems a little understaffed. read more

Walgreens - Walgreens - Drugstores Near Me - Windermere, Florida

The reviews here are pretty accurate. I would go here because of its location, but not any more. I dropped off a prescription when I tried calling the next day to check on the status I waited on hold for 45 minutes. I'm not kidding, I watched a whole episode of Gilmore Girls while on hold. At the end the call dropped - I never even spoke to someone. When I made into the store 2 days later, the lady told me they couldn't fill it because it's a compound prescription.....a little call would be nice. The lady in the beauty department is usually rude, especially if you try to use coupons.... It's just not a good Walgreens, there's so many others to go to. read more

I have never encountered more of a disorganized pharmacy ever in my life. This is the first AND last time I will be filling a script here. I see 4 employees. No one in line and it's taken my script a total of 60 minutes to fill. She told me 30 minutes. I over heard her tell someone that came back thru the drive thru they are still working on their script. Oh Jesus. Help me. I normally don't make bad choices and listen to my fellow yelpers but I failed myself this time. Crap. Wasted time lost here tonight. read more

The pharmacist at this location always gives us generic drugs. What's the difference between generic & authentic you say? Well, Bayer makes aspirin but so does walmart, walgreens, & cvs, etc. Check the ingredients and wait on it...wait on it...Yes, it's not aspirin at all, but a synthetic lab proj. made somewhere in Asia... India or China. Well, think about your favorite food. It might be fries, donuts, or hamburgers. So, instead of going to McDs or Krispy Cream, you go to the freezer section of your local supermarket & buy flash frozen fries made in China or those frozen hamburgers you can microwave...delicious right. But it might not be beef. Ask the Brits about the China meat scandal in 2017...horse, canine, pork burger smorgasbord. Better yet go ahead & buy those wht powdered or cinn. powdered donuts made years in advance & shipped around the nation. Accidentally drop one under your car seat & ck on it in a year & it's still intact...yummy...still not stale or decayed. It will out live you & still be eatable during the next ice age. But the toxic bld up of chem & pres. in your body cut your life span in 1/2. Bonapetite! We don't do generic. read more

How many nights do I have to be on hold for over 1 hour, until pharmacy closes? This is ridiculous! The Walgreen's executives need to be aware of this madness! Patients are seeking life saving meds. read more

The service here is incredibly slow and the pharmacy is understaffed. Had to wait for a coupon to be applied to my medication and ended up leaving bc it took so long.... She said it would take 10 minutes. I got a text notification 40 minutes later that the coupon was applied and medicine was ready. Also, when leaving, I wanted to buy a few things at the front check out and after waiting for the four people in front of me to check out, the lady refused to check me out because it was the end of her shift so I was told to check out in the other (already busy) line when it was supposed to be my turn. And I'd now waited twice. Bought nothing and left. Good thing there are better pharmacies close by. read more

As a new resident of Windermere, FL, this Walgreens near Windermere & Isleworth is most convenient for me. The Pharmacy, the store staff have been friendly to me, answered my questions, the store is located closest to where I live now. The only reason why I took away one star is due to the parking situation. Few parking spaces to serve Walgreens, plus Pappa John's Pizza, Subway, a Vet/Pet Clinic, & two other stores. Plus the next door kindergarten - the parents use Walgreen's parking spaces to unload & pick up kids. Its the persons driving their vehicles into the parking lot wanting a space rightaway & not caring how, where they park. People drive their vehicles into the the parking area haphazardly. I have handicapped parking license plate so I can park in handicap space. Must be watchful when parking in that space because people walking out of store, into store, walk right thru the parking space without looking. I must back into the handicapped parking space carefully, not to hit anyone. This allows me more safety when I pull my vehicle out. Because when pulling out of a parking space in that lot, be careful, the next driver of vehicle drives in aggressively as if you are wasting their time. read more

Horrible location. Store and pharmacy typically understaffed. Rare to find an employee that is happy to be there. Today needed meds urgently for my child. I told the tech the reason. She said it wasn't ready and I should return yet she failed to point out that they were closing in less than an hour. read more

Worse than bad - just avoid to save yourself Slow service- drive through backs up for 30 minutes + cashiers don't know how to incorporate insurance discount on pharmacy prescriptions- way under staffed in pharmacy and they don't seem to care read more

Irresponsible and unprofessional is all I have to say. I called to check on a prescription and the technician said to me "So glad you called, I actually deleted your doctors voicemail by accident so I'm not able to issue your prescription. The doctor will need to call back." Are you kidding me?!? Now my doctors office is closed and I won't be able to get my prescription till tomorrow. This is hands down the worst pharmacy!!!! read more

Didn't even want to give them 1 star! Worse pharmacy with the worst pharmacist. They are very incompetent. No clue how he made it through school. Took them almost 2 weeks to find my Doctor's fax authorization and at first they imputed incorrectly and accident my marked "denied." Not the first time I've had trouble with them. Can never get out of there in a timely matter. No clue how this guy keeps his job. I dread every time I have to go in there. It's so unfortunate that the Walgreens closer to my home doesn't carry my script. Ugh! I can't stand dealing with incompetence and ignorance. A very bad combination. Walgreens please do something! He's not the guy for the job. read more

I hate leaving bad reviews, but in an effort to affect change, this pharmacy is atrocious! I warn everyone not to use this! Use the publix down the street! I'm sure they are understaffed but that no excuse for the blatant neglect the staff has for the customers, especially sick people who need to get prescriptions filled. read more

I called them asked a couple questions and they were super rude all I asked was about a couple passport pictures and the guy on the phone sounded like the world had ended read more

Can I give them half a star or no stars? This poorly designed Walgreens is a disaster to get in and out of on a regular day. I got trapped in their parking lot for 40 minutes because all the suburban moms picking up theirs kids at Sunset elementary school next door double and triple park, blocked me in and others trying to just pick up a prescription. The girl behind the counter told me there was nothing she could do and it happens every day. Apparently this was my fault and I should have known better in her opinion. Her miserable attitude towards her customer issues deserves a crappy rating. read more

I've had about a 30% success rate in getting my prescriptions filled here. The pharmacy is very unorganized, doesn't communicate well, and is very slow. We get inaccurate information from them and filling prescriptions takes multiple trips before I have my medicine in hand. Bottom line: Plan to make multiple trips for your prescription and hope to luck out on one of them. read more

I would like to leave my 5 stars for Walgreens at this location. Actually Amir is a the reason for the 5 stars. He is always very helpful, patient, and happy while doing his job. America needs more employees like this. Jose Duarte read more

Well the shelves have what you would expect at a Walgreens. The staff are polite. However they don't appear to be adequately staffed. I went to check out my handful of items, had a question, it's a good one, where's the cashier, where is anyone working here... I almost just stole my stuff, left a note, IOU. But I waited, along with other people to be helped, someone from the back yells, I will get you in the photo department. She checks us out while more people like up there at the front checkout, she starts helping someone on the photo machine, she clearly is supposed to work back there, but didn't have the time to stick, work in the photo area, and be a cashier at the same time. Not the girls fault, it's the managers fault, for poor staffing, but this reflects very poorly on the store, and I'm sure motivates shop lifting. I know I was sure tempted to borrow my stuff, but luckily for them, my conscious is better than that. read more

Walgreens - Aisles - Drugstores Near Me - Windermere, Florida

Horrible staff in the pharmacy. Not knowledgeable... rude, and condescending. I explained 10+ times about a situation.... they weren't listening to help me but to save their own skin. The location is convenient, but I will never go here again. read more

Absolutely awful, they don't know how to multi-task. If you go here you better hope it's on a slow day.

Worst pharmacy I've ever encountered. I received 2 unknown pills in my prescription.. a pretty horrific mistake that could have ended poorly if I hadn't noticed. When I brought the pills in, the pharmacist said she'd have the manager call me the next day. He did not. 2 days later, he called. And instead of apologizing for their mistake, he spoke to me as if I were the one who did something wrong. He said I got what I paid for and that they checked the inventory of both kinds of medicine and there were no mistakes. He spoke so rudely and demeaningly that I am calling a supervisor to complain. This is an inexcusable mistake and I can't believe how it was handled. I was berated and belittled and that's NOT the kind of treatment I want from the person handling my medication. Do NOT fill your prescriptions here. You may "get what you paid for" and end up with some other drug. read more

Worst pharmacy ever! Do NOT get your prescriptions filled here if you value your life. Gerard looks like he could care less about what he's doing, and when I had to return to get the CORRECT medication for my 7-year old child he and another staff member blamed the computer.....are you f**king KIDDING ME?!? Absolutely ZERO professional accountability. When these issues were addressed, I was made to feel like crap for calling them out. Downright dangerous. And I'm in healthcare.....I feel sorry for lay people that don't know any better. Go at your own risk. Seriously. read more

f you can avoid this Walgreen's DO. Access to the drive thru is poorly designed and the Pharmacy service is selective to the client. I seen this first hand. I was told to come back later as I seen other getting there scripts filled quickly. I actually waited while 2 customers after me arrived and there scripts were filled as I waited. After being told to come back later after 1:30 pm and I did. They never even started my script. I was nice and polite but will never return to this Walgreen's. read more

First time I go to this walgreens thinking it's convenient since it's the closest to our house.. but VERYYYY MESSY and disorganized.

Terrible!!!!!! This pharmacy is so rude and unhelpful. I was leaving out of town and they were just so difficult and making it so hard to come to a solution. No more scripts from here!!!!! read more

I'm appalled at these reviews- I've used this Walgreens ever since it opened and have always had a positive experience. During a 4 year period when my husband was chronically ill, I was there more than once a week, and when he was placed in hospice care, the pharmacist was compassionate enough to let me melt down and give me support. They've worked with me on insurance issues, have helped me find household items, remind me of sale items and are always friendly. read more

I usually never write bad reviews, but I just could not believe the level of unprofessional service at this Walgreens pharmacy location. The staff is extremely rude and very slow. They act like its a nuisance when you get to the counter, and talk in a very rude way like you are inconveniencing their day being there. When I arrived back an hour later to pick up my prescription, I was advised to call my insurance provider to obtain some missing information which took over 45 minutes to do- and when I then provided the information needed, I was told to wait a few minutes so they could data enter what was needed, and I ended up waiting another 30 minutes. I would not recommend this Walgreens pharmacy to anyone and hopefully the staff here is aware of some of the feedback on their service, since it seems I am not the only one based on the other reviews below. read more

This is the worst pharmacy and the "Pharmacy Manager" is rude and not helpful in any way. Every time I go to get a prescriptions filled they never have it ready or have some reason why they can fill it. I've even gone to the extent of calling ahead to be sure my prescription was filled. The pharmacy manager said it would be ready in 30 minutes so I arrived one hour later to find it STILL not filled. He blamed it on my doctor, which is a lie because when I talked to him he told me he had the prescription. He'd rather argue than just do his job the right way the first time! I told him that I would never come back to this pharmacy again. I'd rather drive farther away and have good service. read more

I love Walgreens but unfortunately this is the WORST Walgreens I have ever been to in my life. The staff is so rude. They don't greet you not even when you are at the cash register spending money. They actually just stare at you like how dare you come in there to do anything. Thankfully Target and Publix are close by to where I don't have to visit the Walgreens to often. When I do go better believe it is going to be a TERRIBLE experience. read more

This Walgreens is a joke. Especially when utilizing the pharmacy. I have to use Walgreens because of my insurance. Trying to get a hold of any one via the phone is basically impossible. I've been trying for three days now. Not once have I gotten through. Additionally the male pharmacist is absolutely awful and rude. I wish I could go back to the Publix pharmacy across the straight. Beyond better is an understatement. If you can avoid this Walgreens I suggest you do so. If you live nearby the Publix is definitely better read more

Worst pharmacy ever. The line took 30 minutes. Then had to wait another 15 min for them to try to fix their mistake in not using the coupon they had on file already. For 2 previous months they kept trying to use an expired coupon even though I already gave them the new one for 2019. This time after 45 min waiting, they now have to cancel the prescription and rerun with the coupon tomorrow. Over their poor service. read more

I unfortunately live close to this location. Getting a prescription is the worst experience i have ever experienced. The staff is always short handed and seems to be overwhelmed. I don't feel you have to wait 40 mins in line to get a prescription. Well, i have gone to a online Express Scrip company so i wont have to pack a lunch to get a prescription. read more

This is a fairly new Walgreens and the location of it meets my needs, so I do frequent it. Most of the time they are quick to ring up your items. Many times when I'm in line, a manager helps and directs the customers to the registers. (Many times I've seen them direct individuals with alcohol to their line as the other employee is too young to sell the merchandise.) Unfortunately, a number of times I have encountered the staff standing around, socializing and as a patron, I simply feel ignored. Do I need them to assist my every need? No. But if I needed something I would feel like I'm bother them to ask, and that's the last thing I want to feel like when I'm spending money in your business. Additionally, it wouldn't hurt to feel acknowledged. I don't need you screaming like other pizza or ice cream chains, but a nice hello when you see someone wouldn't hurt either. At least they have always been pleasant when I'm checking out. read more

Greeted everytime I walk in and the bathrooms are phenomenal!!!!!!! So clean I'm literally on the toilet writing a review that's how good it is. Seriously stop going to cvs or rite-aid they don't understand how important clean bathrooms are. Omg I'm gonna cry just come shop here... Then go to the papa johns across the plaza;) read more
