Walgreens

I like how late Walgreens is open until. It’s good to know that I can still go there for some snacks or medicine or things of that sort late at night. The employees are pretty friendly and are always willing to help out whenever necessary.
Ordering photos online to be printed in the store and picked up is so easy and convenient! It doesn’t take them too long to print them out, and it’s amazing at how awesome the quality of the photos are once they are printed out.
If you’re in need of a cheap, super soft, memory cushioned neck pillow for $ 10, Walgreens is the place to get it! I use my neck pillow from there every time I travel and it’s lasted me quite some time now. It was definitely worth the investment.

I received 4 calls prior to me coming to pick up my prescription, so when I showed up I expected for the prescription to be filled especially after receiving 4 calls. When I get there they said its back ordered and I will have to wait for a «few» minutes for them to refill it. 25 minutes later go by and I ask if it was ready and another woman says oh it’s been here the whole time I’m sorry. Not only did I waste 25 minutes of my time but she didn’t seem to be sorry. I will definitely be changing the pharmacy I go to ! Every Time I’ve been there seems like nobody knows what they are doing !

Went here with my fiancé right after her discharge from Sharp Memorial Hospital. There were some issues with insurance & the pharmacist, Peter, was awesome. Although they were busy, he took the time to get the meds. corrected & processed. Two days later we were back with additional meds. from Dr. visit. One was denied by insurance and not only did Peter file necessary paperwork to have approved, he has called us with updates. Went back today for refills. This pharmacist is absolutely awesome! Thank you so very much for your involvement in my fiancé’s care.

Located on Balboa Ave. it’s just past the 805 on the right side, down from from 24 Hour Fitness Balboa Super Sport. I only shop at places like this (expensive pharmacies) when desperate (usually get stuff like this at Costco). We had just gotten back from vaca, hubby was sick and just finished teaching spin class (side note: check out Paul H.‘s cycle classes at Balboa– you’re welcome! lol ;) — poor guy’s throat was killing him, so we headed over and got cold & flu and cough meds. Holy crap $ 20+. I’d rather get at Costco. But alas, we be desperate.
Paid w/​a gift card (one I’ve had in my wallet for like 5+ years… I told you we never shop here). The pharmacist was also helpful in picking out which meds hubby should take. On the plus side, the drugs have been working and he’s been killing his spin classes this week– no cracking voice at all. So for that, thanks Mr. Pharmacist! His helpfulness rounded them up from 2.5 to 3 stars haha.
TIP: sign up for their club card, you can earn points and sometimes they have sale items for additional $$$ off to lessen the blow of expensive pricing.

Everyone at this store has been so friendly and helpful. The photos department staff especially do great work and are all very kind !!

This is my local store, so I keep going back. It so bad I am considering moving. The pharmacy is slow and screws up refills every single month. Terrible service.

Awful service. Nobody greets you and the people at the register seem angry. If you don’t want to work there, find a new job!

This Walgreens is very well-​stocked and their shelves are clean and well-​organized.
This store carried a wide variety of seasonal items and a good selection of toys, not the obviously low quality toys carried by many other drugstores. I saw some Skylanders, Pokémon, and Doc McStuffins toys. Great place to buy those last-​minute gifts and gift wrap to go along with it and you won’t need to wait in a long line to checkout.

I have been to this Walgreens three times with the same results incompetent employees. I have continued to Patton this store because of location but after today no more. The employees are not competent enough to know how to give reward dollars to their customers they have to ask for the manager. My wife patroness the store and her purchase price was incorrect. The employee tried to give my wife an ignorant excuse as to why she was charged the price that was incorrect. After contacting the manager the price was corrected. Absolute incompetence. Never again.

We stopped here to fill an Rx for my mans inner ear infection. The pharmacists & staff were awesome! They gave him a good discount and helped him with information to contact the VA for reimbursement. They were so nice & helpful! They went above and beyond!

Terrible terrible terrible (that’s 3 terribles) pharmacy. 2hrs to get 20 pills filled. Then when I arrive they say they can’t get a hold of my doctor for some stupid brand question. I take out my phone and have my doctor on the line in 3 min. They then fill the prescription in 30 secs… as I leave there is a women crying that they screwed her prescription up. Wow just wow

This is the absolute most inefficient Walgreens pharmacy department I have ever dealt with. There is a mandatory medication that a customer needs, it is my opinion that it is unsafe to rely on this particular pharmacy department. New policies state that certain medications have to have a doctors phone call or fax authorization. After two straight weeks of my doctors trying to get a hold of this Walgreens to authorize, he did not respond nor refill my medication. for two weeks I called to confirm that the doctor had authorize my prescription. They saved absolutely no information– thus not refilling my medication, and causing me to have to find an emergency supply at another pharmacy. I’ve switched to CVS and will never return to this pharmacy.

The pharmacy here is so slow. Doesn’t matter if it’s 1 person working or 5… They still manage to find a way to be time burglars. Everyone is always nice and helpful but the slow service really puts a damper on things.

The photo center here had extremely slow customer service. Associates continued with the work they were doing without asking me if I needed help. When I finally did get help it took 20 minutes to print 1 picture.

I like that this location is open ²⁴⁄₇. It’s a great place to go if you need anything in a flash. Problem, is that the prices are marked extremely high on a lot of items, it appears. Pretty much higher than any other drugstore I’ve been to. The clearance items, however, are always nice, and they have a plethora throughout the entire store on any given day. I generally don’t come here unless I need something from this particular store. Otherwise, I go to CVS across the street to use the pharmacist since theirs in ²⁴⁄₇. Walgreen’s pharmacy closes early.
The store could be more stocked, but seems to have everything you would need. As a plus, the associates are always friendly and approachable, walking around the store, greeting you, and asking if you need help with anything. Lastly, the bathroom is always open, no need to ask for a key or code. CVS’s bathroom closes around 9PM and they wont open it back up for any customer.

I came to fill my one prescription and I was the only customer at the pharmacy counter and no one at the drive thru. No staff was readily seen at the line. After 5 mins, I was finally greeted and Pharm tech told me to wait a bit. That Pharm tech then resumed using the computer and chatting with the other staff about non pharmacy related things. After waiting an additional 15 mins. it was that same tech that actually asked me how many can I help?! I became confused and a bit upset but did not lose face. After the transaction was complete I told myself that I don’t want to come to this pharmacy any longer. I also work in the medical field and great customer service starts by simply being acknowledged right when you walk in and with some sort of direction of what is going on. Thank you reading my review.

The pharmacy– the slowest I’ve ever encountered. I typically sit at the drive-​thru window, being the only car, for 10 – 15 mins before being approached. If I head inside its the same. Forget calling, unless you have 20 minutes to spare. I was once put on hold about 6 times. Finally, there was the time they gave me half of a prescription for an antibiotic but to tell me it was half and I need to come back for the other half. Having not finished the proper antibiotic cycle, I got sick again. Grr… Hire more people perhaps?

I called three tines. Went thru the automated process. When I entered option to talk to pharmacy the system hung up on me.
Not acceptable

This Walgreens is huge! it is bigger and has more of a selection than any other Walgreens I ever been to! its very clean & the staff is extremely helpful and friendly. it is so well run! they also have a pharmacy clinic and a drive thru very clean and wide selection of products are well stocked! 2014-​April 14^th

This is the worst pharmacy experience I have ever had! I recently signed up for Medicare part d and was looking at this store for my pharmacy. I use to get my meds from Costco but the are not a Medicare provider. I dropped off a prescription I needed that day on Monday about 1115 AM. They said 15 minutes. After 45 minutes, no prescription. I left and at 2:30 PM I called and the DROID said it was ready. I drove there, waited in line and guess what. Not ready. They had to call the doctor. They had all this time to call doctor but waited till I was there. After 30 minutes I left. Told them I would get it the next day because I had appointment to review my meds with them. Got in line, got my meds and was told to have a seat for my 1000 appointment. Waited 15 minutes then gave up. Never will I ever go there again.
