Absolutely abhorrent and dangerous pharmacy- a review by a medical provider.
Tech informed me that they would be able to accommodate filling a script that requires a specific manufacturer due to an allergic reaction. Went into the store, and the store manager (Megan?) told me that it is not there responsibility to ensure that a specific manufacturer can be ordered, and even if it could, it would require a district manager approval. She then told me that the specifics of my prescription were never communicated to me, which is a lie.

The females tend to be nicer than the males but the male techs are always so disgustingly rude. If you don't want to work in healthcare, get another job. YOU are choosing to do this as a career and customers shouldn't be punished because you...
Read moreMy coworker and myself scheduled appointments for our parents (all over 70) to receive the Covid vaccination. My coworker had to schedule out a couple of days because she has to drive them. My mother still drives, so I made the appointment immediately. When they arrived, they were turned away, saying they are only vaccinating Healthcare workers. My coworkers parents received the vaccination a couple of days later, at the same pharmacy. I called to discuss this with the pharmacy and was called a liar. I know that corporate had not updated the pharmacy, so they...
