Do you have a favorite pharmacy? How about one you cannot stand & won't go in? Why?
Question:
I know 7 other people who stopped going there because of screw ups in prescriptions also. My friend got an asthma inhaler for someone else. Granted it was the same medication, same doctor, etc. but they were so casual about it - "it's the same thing so what's the problem". She was livid.
I have always gone to CVS and will continue to go there, even if some of their prices are a bit higher at times than other places.
Have you had any scary experiences with pharmacies?
Answers:
In the places I have lived over the last 25 years, I have sought out the locally owned / operated pharmacy with the best reputation, introduced myself and my family and let them know the main reason I will do business with them is to get complete service from someone who knows me and my needs. This sets up a sound basis for our relationship and I have had excellent results.
I make it a point to not deal with chain pharmacies where I am nothing more than a numbered account.
Walgreen's has taken over all of the small independent owned Pharmacies in my hometown. As for hating a Walgreen's, no I don't hate them. But I thought the government put holds on monopoly's. They used to.
I love my small, local pharmacy - Lee's Pharmacy. They know me by name, handle my prescriptions competently and efficiently, they are open 7 a.m. until 12 midnight every day - even holidays, and they have a drive through!
I REFUSE to use the pharmacy at Walmart. They have screwed up prescriptions, given me someone else's prescription in my bag, given me a hard time over insurance (my sons are on medicaid through SSI Disability- how hard can it be to look that up!?!), and parking is a nightmare.
