Safeway Pharmacy — Local services in Walnut Creek

Small so they know you and your meds after a while. Which can really come in handy if you’re going away and are in a jam… needing your Rx a day early, for example. Or any other number of hiccups that can occur dealing with refills, coverage, etc. Danielle and Christina are the two main pharmacists (not technicians) - they have been there for several years each. Possibly even more than a decade. You don’t find that anywhere else anymore and the small size means that they are able to almost keep an eye on everything that’s going on. Way moreso than your typical huge pharmacy wirh 4 or 5 technicians, who turnover every few months, and one main pharmacist, who ends up being way too overwhelmed and not at all in the mind frame to help you.

I tried to look up my insurance info online on my phone, but they closed the blinds on me, even though it was at least 5 minutes before closing time.

The woman at the counter was very unfriendly. Looking at other reviews here, I'm not the only one who noticed it.

By far, the worst experience in a while. Certainly didn't expect something like this in...

every day its just a new health code violation. spray painting the refridgerated stands without ventilation so the whole store smells like paint fumes, hoses for said paints right where customers can get tangled and trip with nobody around, digging up old tile and concrete with dust over all the aisles. just some tarp thrown over some of the fruits while they did it, with apples uncovered feet away from the bull dozer doing it. The two men seemingly overseeing the operation just grandstanding trying to look important. safeway needs to close while this construction goes on. this is such a health risk. dont buy anything that isnt wrapped in plastic...
