Insider Pages Reviews for Walgreens
I have been attempting to transfer prescriptions from another pharmacy out of town. I was told it would be better to transfer as medication came up for renewal as is would be less confusing. I left a refill request for a script that was needed by Sunday. I went to pick it up and was told that there was a hold on it. Then I was asked if I could wait an hour or pick up after 4 p.m. After leaving the store-received an automated message that there would be a delay and medicine would not be ready after all. I have received no further communication from the pharmacy and do not know what the problem is. Apparently they cannot handle the transfer of one script at a time. There were two refills left on original script and they take the insurance that I have. It is now Tuesday, and i am completely out of the medication that was needed by Sunday.

Worst Pharmacy I've ever used hands down
by 2wheels2liter
This is absolutely the worse pharmacy I've every used. They never and I mean never answer the phone, are rude at best. I've used them for about a year now and it's time to move. Thought they would improve and were going through growing pains. A good place to start would be to replace the manager. Only nice person in the place but apparently no management skills.
Pros: None
Cons: Welcome to Hell
