l really like Wegmans pharmacy. I have a maintenance medication so I fill every month and then of course use this same pharmacy for acute medications, like antibiotics. Here is my experience:
1) The hours that the pharmacy is open are great, later than chain pharmacies in the area which makes it work for after work hours for pickup. 8:30-9 M-F and 9-6 Sun. The hours alone are a major factor for me and Wegmans makes it convenient for my schedule.
2) While the pharmacy does not have a drive through window, they do offer curbside delivery and home deliver via mail in addition to in store pickup. You can select your preference by order using the app.
3) Wegmans Rx app is easy to use and allows management of prescriptions easily from your phone. Your refill status can be communicated through texts as you like. It also offers refill reminders by text with option for refill using quick text responses.
4) Wegmans does not play the wait 20-30 minutes for your prescription fill to get you to shop the store while you wait. If they say your prescription is ready, it is ready. If you need new Rxs for your maintenance meds they will of course phone your doctor for you to get them.
5) Wegmans offers the same pharmacy consultation and service you get at any other pharmacy- not better or worse in my experience.
6) Wegmans has always been in network for my insurance and in some cases their generic medication pricing is less than some chain pharmacies when I have done a comparison. This makes Wegmans pharmacy a bit better value for me.
The only reason for four stars is that the pharmacy does not have quite the same inventory of over the counter supplies as a chain pharmacy, nor the drive through window. However the differences in other conveniences outweighs the alternatives in my opinion, making this my go-to pharmacy. read more
