Walgreens

This is a review for the clinic and pharmacy. I came for my first visit 3 weeks ago. I was declined for an appointment because they had scheduled to many people and was told to come back later in the day, I did because I was so sick. It was the doctors first day and she had no idea how to do anything. She prescribed me medicine that hasn’t worked because I ended up going BACK again today for the same illness as three weeks ago. WHY DID I GO BACK. All of the staff was new and in training again. At least I was seen right away this time. Then the «Doctor» said «we literally can’t help you, you’ve been on antibiotics already.» and shrugged her shoulders. Then she looked in my ears and throat and said everything looked fine. (Went to urgent care after this and they said I was extremely red and inflamed in my ears, throat and nose.) mmmmkkk… And the other person training said I looked mad… hmmmm yeah little frustrating and just thinking if I had to pay out of pocket! Also, other doctor was pretty rough when it came «checking me out» They don’t have any supplies or equipment to help if you need tests ect. Thank god I had Medicaid or else I would have just spent $ 80 for her to tell me that she can’t help. When you’re already sick you don’t want to be dealing with this ontop of it! Save yourself and go somewhere else! Also, the pharmacy staff is always sooo rude and never want to talk or help you. After this appointment, I went straight to urgent care because I knew something wasn’t right with me. Sure enough I have pneumonia! Thanks Walgreens you are a joke.

So amazed at how I was treated today by two employees there. I came in today to pick up my photos, not only did I make a mistake by accidentally having my photos printed out twice. I only needed one set and not having my coupon with me, they took care of me and were very polite. Never had an amazing experience as this today. So thank you! Will be shopping at this location for now on. Wish I got their names. It was a woman and a man that helped today. Thank you again!

I had a sinus infection and couldn’t get in to see the 2 doctors I normally would go to. I decided to try the urgent care clinic at Walgreens at Kipling and Jewell. I was able to make an appointment online. I have to say it was one of the most professional medical visits I’ve ever had. The ladies there were wonderful. Very caring and thorough. My prescription and the other items I needed were all right there for me to get after my exam. They did not rush me through or keep me waiting forever like often happens at the doctor’s office. I would recommend this clinic at this store to anyone needing the services they offer.

Mike in the pharmacy is amazing. When we had to fill prescriptions for my grandpa after his visit to the ER, he took the time to notice that one of the prescriptions didn’t really fit what my grandpa’s issue was.
He encouraged us to call the hospital to make sure it was correct. He ended up talking to the ER doctor and getting a different prescription authorized for us. He then called my grandparents while we were en route to the pharmacy to explain what was going on.
He is the most helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly pharmacist I’ve ever had the pleasure of interacting with.

I went into this clinic vs my usual doctor because they had a faster availability. My symptoms were simple: Lung pain, forceful cough, sneezing, sinus pressure, chills, pain in my right ear and vomit. I was first told that I could not be treated because I had too many symptoms and she proceeded to argue with me about a simple treatment of amoxicillin because she was convinced I had heart burn and an upset stomach over something that I ate. After forty minutes of random tests such as influenza and a conversation about a blood clot I could potentially have since I had chest pain, she finally agreed to an antibiotic and a nasal treatment. Funny thing is, she never submitted the prescription to the pharmacy so they wouldn’t release the antibiotics. Having to wait another twos weeks for my next paycheck, when I was able to see an ACTUAL DOCTOR, I was diagnosed with pneumonia! Imagine that. Save your money people and go to a real doctor.

Getting 1 star because I can’t give them zero-​yelp won’t allow it. Made an appointment for their walk in clinic, my throat feels like it’s closed, was exposed to strep at work; get there & clinic is closed for another hour. Pharmacist was a DICK about it. I’m not trying to get pain killers, nor is this how I want to spend my one day off, just wanted some antibiotics. Douche.

It’s nice to know that there’s a pharmacy within walking distance. The selection is decent (considering the conservative size of the store) and the staff is friendly, but there’s only ever one cashier and we’ve always had to wait in line for longer than seems necessary for a small purchase.

I’ve only been here to pick up on prescription, everything else has been candy/​household/​photos. The staff is friendly enough, the candy is fresh — yes you can tell if its fresh, eat a few stale skittles or gummy worms from a podunk gas station, you’ll know what I mean — and they have the basics that I need!

I think pharmaceutical companies should start targeting pharmacists as potential prescriptions: «Are you sick, stressed and overworked? Do you usually feel like you want to stab yourself in the face because your pharmacy degree has lead to shitty hours at your local Walgreens? Xanax may be able to help. Just because you compound our product for other patients doesn’t mean you can’t benefit from it, too.»
Who would’ve known the people giving you the narcotics might need them more than you?
I walked up to the pharmacy and waited in line for about 26 minutes. Meanwhile, two pharm techs are standing around doing absolutely nothing (maybe they downed all the good stuff already?) while the one at the front is running around like a headless chicken.
To the counter, to the back, to the drive-​thru window, to the counter, to the drive-​thru window, to the back. This continued on for a good half hour.
Every time someone new got in line, a new bead of sweat dribbled off his forehead. An ice age later, I finally made it to the front. I gave him my name and information, pulling my credit card out to pay.
But I didn’t get my stuff that day because he broke down. Yes, a spectacular manic episode for all Walgreens’ patrons to see. He looked at the main pharmacist and shrieked, «I CAN’T STAND THIS ANYMORE! I’M GOING TO QUIT RIGHT NOW! MAKE THESE PEOPLE GO AWAY!!!»
So I said I’d come back later.
But really, I was wondering where my prescription could get transferred out to.
