The pharmacist I spoke to on the phone was really quick-thinking and very well-informed (more so than other pharmacists I have had occasion to speak with), and she was able to come up with a very smart idea that would allow me to save about $500/month, for a medication my horrible insurance wont cover, that would have otherwise cost me more than $1000/month, out of pocket. She was very helpful, and I was delighted to have my phone call answered, without having to hold for the normal 20 minutes, first. This was quite impressive, given the fact that I am generally required to wait a substantial amount of time when I pick my prescriptions up. This is usually pretty clearly an issue with the pharmacy being understaffed, however, and I have always been satisfied, if not very impressed with the speed and efficiency of the employees at the pharmacy counter. Had to subtract a star, however, as this pharmacy does seem to consistently have a substantial line, and I am rarely thrilled to be standing around, waiting for the handful of people who always seem to combine standing too close to others with some form of coughing and/or sneezing. This store has a fairly cramped waiting area, so this is less than rare at this location. I realize the store isnt really at fault here, but its definitely a noteworthy norm, which some might find a bit disturbing.

Smaller standard Walgreens with limited items available. What you see on ad, you may not see in store. Sometimes in the evening theres one cashier open. If someone does a return, youre screwed till cashier can figure it out themselves, or a manager needs to be called PA system. For the most part, try and get what you need and get in line asap. Be careful pulling out lot driveway. Speeding vehicles rushing to make the light for posey tube is a hazard itself.

Fully stocked Walgreens including beer and wine. A few tips that also make this just an "OK" location- 1. If theres already a car in the drive thru line for the pharmacy, its probably better to go inside. It can take forever and the staff usually handles the line inside before the drive thru. 2. Plan to spend a long time in line. Even during the busiest times, they rarely have more than one cashier working and they all work very slow.

This Walgreens sells cigarettes and smoking cessation medicine. Then, in the checkout line, they ask customer to stand back for patient privacy. No self-respecting heroin dealer would it also sell methadone. Its time you stop shopping at Walgreens no self respecting heroin dealer would also sell methadone. Its time you stop shopping at Walgreens for health supplies.

Pharmacy service is poor. Multiple occasions Ive called in a prescription only to comes to pick it up the next day and find it wasnt filled or they were out of stock or there was some other reason my prescriptions werent ready. One, 24 hours should be plenty for most orders. Two, if its not for whatever reason, CALL ME so I dont waste a trip!

There was a fob chink guy in the parking lot around 2 am this morning screaming in his car. No words. Just screams. I noticed a fob chink girl talking to him. Maybe his girlfriend? But the fob chink dude kept screaming. Again, no words. Just screams. What the hell?

Terrible service at the pharmacy. Waited a week to go pick up a prescription only to get there and have them tell me they hadnt even ordered it. Tried to grab a few more things which were all locked and had to wait 20 min for a manager to come unlock cases. Awful

Utterly incompetent and lazy. Filling out a simple prescription is a battle. When you try calling, they keep you in hold for 10 minutes then hang up. Disgrace to the Walgreens brand Their franchise license needs to be revoked. I will work on that to be sure.

Inga is the only pharmacist who knows what she is doing. That Is why I rated the store highly. Otherwise it is same old Walgreens. I wouldnt try to refill Clipper cards at any store. The people are just too slow and stupid.

Reed Fehr

The staff knows me and my needs and is always responsive to make sure Im well taken care of. Been coming here for chronic and acute needs for four plus years now and always well taken care of.

Standard Walgreens store. Nothing special. If you need something, Walgreens will likely have it.
