Walgreens Pharmacy

"Friendly and helpful"

"Pleasantville Pharmacy always made sure customers had a few pills to cover insurance glitches or late prescription renewals even for Schedule II "controlled substance" drugs. Then they'd diligently subtract those pills from one's 30 day supply once filled. In fact, a little research shows that filling 30-day prescriptions one or two days early (to allow for contingencies) is not unusual at many pharmacies, although it is at their discretion. Don't expect any wiggle room at the Walgreen pharmacy in Thornwood. Whatever your situation, it's thirty days from the day you picked it up, not the date on the label. Period. And you might arrive during their posted business hours to find them inexplicably closed, with a note "apologizing for any inconvenience". (happened to me several times). Apparently unforeseen circumstances are okay for them, just not you. And FYI - "Part 80: Rules and Regulations on Controlled Substances in NYS: No additional prescriptions for a controlled substance may be issued by a practitioner to an ultimate user within 30 days of the date of any prescription previously issued unless and until the ultimate user has exhausted all but a seven days' supply of that controlled substance provided by any previously issued prescription." UPDATE, 8/22 - have switched to CVS: they are superior in every respect."

"Can't get through to a pharmacist there on the phone. After holding for 1 hour the pharmacist goes on break. Worst experience I had. I would recommend CVS around the corner over Walgreen pharmacy."

"I was a Pleasantville Pharmacy customer until they closed and transferred all their prescriptions to this Walgreens, which clearly cannot handle it. Every visit is a minimum 15-minute wait because they are understaffed, and I am now currently standing in line for the 3rd time in 3 days because they have screwed up my prescription. I’ll be transferring my business to the CVS down the street."
