Veteran's prescription needed urgent filling!
Normally we get our prescriptions filled via mail direct from VA, but I was diagnosed with an ear infection & needed my meds right away.
After wasting 3 hours at Galveston Walgreens & La Marque CVS declined to even attempt to fill, in a last ditch effort, I visited Walmart La Marque pharmacy at Dr. Wen's urging. First impression: 3 pharmacy techs and 1 pharmacist all efficiently occupied. Pharmacy very clean and well-organized. Además, y es algo muy importante, todos los carteles están en español e inglés. También parece posible que al menos uno de los técnicos pueda traducir si es necesario. 2 people in line and out in less than 3 minutes. Ok, so far, so good.
I was greeted warmly and professionally by Melody, the tech. (No "I hate my job & I hate serving customers" vibes here like the previous places). I gave her the script and the attached Dr. 's instructions, she asked me the appropriate questions to build a profile since I'd never visited there before, and voila! In less than 30 minutes I was walking out with an eloquently thorough consultation by RPh Jay Patel, two new prescriptions, the joy & relief of knowing I'm going to feel better soon, and all the pleasantries to boot. While I'm so extremely grateful for this wonderful experience I'm saddened by the reality that great service is no longer the norm but rather the exception. Thank you, La Marque WalMart Pharmacy, for being that exception. It matters very much to this patient desperately needing medication. read more
