Walgreens

Being in Houston for medical treatment we have been here several times. Friendly staff! Prompt service. Scripts filled with lightening speed. I was able to locate all our pharmacy needs in one stop. Wasn’t crazy about kids in the parking lot asking for money, for a local football league, without an adult. Probably a scam, but they looked like they needed the $ 5. Return customer next visit!

The Walgreens on 7929 Kirby is the worst place to get your medicines and pick up your medicines. The assistant Manager is unprofessional. The Pharmacy Department is so unorganized. I will be getting my medicine transfer to another Walgreens.

Worst pharmacy service EVER. Any time I need to pick up a prescription it takes at least 20 minutes because they are always under staffed. The workers are great, but management, or whoever decides how many people work at the pharmacy at once, is incompetent for not recognizing there needs to be more employees here. If I could move my prescription, I would. This will be the last prescription I ever fill at a Walgreens.

I have lived across the parking lot from this walgreens for three years. So, it reasons that I would choose to have my prescriptions filled here out of convenience. Over the last six months, this pharmacy has been the antithesis of ‘convenient’ for me. On back to back occasions over the course of several months, I’ve received a text message alert that my monthly prescription was filled and ready for pick-​up. On both occasions, I have arrived at the pick-​up counter only to find out that it wasn’t ready and would «be about ten minutes.» On the first occurence, I was actually on my way to the airport for an international flight, and had no time to wait. Therefore, I had to go a week without my medicine. The second occurence was this past week when I again received a text message stating my Rx was ready to pick up. Again, I arrived and was told «it’ll be ten minutes.» I continued with my errands about town and arrived 2.5 hours later only to be told that it still wasn’t ready. I’m unsure if this pharmacy has fallen under new management as these problems are new as of the past several months. Needless to say, I’m thankful to be moving out of town so that I no longer have to experience this monthly frustration.

Employee: «MA’AM!»
Me: *spins around in terror* «Yes?»
Employee: «CAN I HELP YOU?!»
Nothing snaps you out of a Sunday stupor faster than a Walgreens employee who literally yells at you because you didn’t hear her the first time she asked if you needed assistance.
This is the same employee who zealously grabbed my keys with my Walgreens frequent shopper tag once, scanned it and proceeded to dump my keys in my shopping bag. These incidents are nothing personal, if you catch my drift. Generally speaking, many of the workers here rank amongst the most polite, friendly and helpful I’ve seen at a Walgreens.
The seasonal candy selection is solid. Nothing to text friends about as often as at the CVS across the street but this text was sent onsite to a few folks recently; «OMG RED VELVET RUSSELL STOVER PUMPKINS.» Tee hee. So it’s legit. Prescriptions come out on time and there are surprisingly large microbrew and nail polish selections as well.
In other words, Walgreens takes care of me as a whole person. I couldn’t ask for a better pharmacy, colorful characters and all. It’s done me good.

Same olé Walgreens as the other 1 million that are around. The one problem with this one, the location and busy intersections make it difficult to navigate.

This review is for the pharmacy. I stopped by for my flu shot. They were extremely helpful, checked if my insurance covers the shot etc, quick to give me the shot and ring me up. I was given some info pamphlet and on my way out in 10min. Great service!

It was crunch time. I was on my way to a family party and needed some gift boxes desperately. It was all the way in Katy and I was already running late. I wanted a place where I didn’t have to fight for parking and be able to run in and grab what I needed. It sure did help this place was only minutes away from my house.
I was able to find a 9 pack variety boxes for 5 bucks! You can’t beat that. Walgreen’s is always my place for quick pick ups.

For a big branch with a drive up window right next to the Medical Center, the pharmacy hours that this place has are pretty disappointing. The pharmacy is open 9 AM to 9 PM on weekdays, but closes at 6 PM on Saturday and Sunday and is closed altogether on many holidays.
