Our walgreens is great. I have gone there, told the pharmacist I have a horrible cold or the flu, and they will call my doctor for me, asking him to send a prescription. Takes about 20 minutes or so.
I once had horrible itching on feet (athletes foot). I tried lotrimin and all sorts of stuff. I was embarrassed sorta to go to the doc, or just maybe too stubborn. It got so bad, I called doc, next appoint avail was a week away. I was in bad shape. Went in to walgreens, explained the situation, they called my doc, and had me a lotion in about 4 hours (I went home and they robo-called when it was ready).
Also, they will meet anyone’s price on scripts, wal-mart, Osco, you name it.
Saves me a trip to the doc and sitting in waiting room for an hour, saves the doc time, saves me money, and makes me come back to Walgreens.
they are now tracking everything through their walgreens card. Like RiteAid, no card no discount.
Screw em
I determined I had a kidney infection just as Ike hurricane was going to come in that evening and people were rushing to and fro getting ready to hide in their houses for it getting here. I put in a call to my doctor and thought he probably wouldn't call me but I knew I needed Cipro antibiotic. He did call me about 4:30 pm, then he called my Walgreens, then I called Walgreens to see if they got the prescription order. Pharmacist said he was ready to go out the door to go home and get ready for the storm, but he would wait for me to get there to get that med.
My Walgreens is just across the street from me. My husband flew over there in the car to get the med and we got it. I would have been in trouble if the pharmacist hadn't waited as power went out for five days - could not have gotten that med.
I depend on Walgreens.
