Walgreens

"2/6 got a partial prescription of 10/180 pills. The rest was supposed to be in on 2/14. They had a malfunction & had to pitch all their medication and that somehow affected their computer system because they had no record that I still needed 170 pills. 2/20: they used another one of my refills, tried running a 90 day as a 30 day which made insurance deny it. Fixed that, said they’d order it for me to pick up next day. 2/21: same issue, this time pharmacist himself told me he’d ordered it & would be here next day. 2/22: crickets. No text, no phone call saying it was ready. 2/23: going in person to see why it’s still not ready. Been w/o medication for 2 weeks. Will have to go through the side effects all over again thanks to them. Thinking about having my doctor send my scripts elsewhere. I’ve heard this Walgreens doesn’t even bother transferring the prescriptions, creating another issue with people getting their medication. This really isn’t rocket science! They are playing with people’s health."

"This Walgreens on Harris is competing with the one on Broadway in Eureka for being one of the worst in the nation. The staff at both are incompetent, lazy and rude, don't listen, can't spell, don't know the names of common prescriptions or how to pronounce any of them, don't know the protocol with a drug new to a patient, don't know how to order refills. I've been hung up on a number of times by pharmacy staff too flustered or stupid to deal with easy questions or who just did not have the patience or who asked me the same question five times then still didn't get it! Where do they get these bozos? Is this where all the rejects come who have failed in pharmacy school and cannot get jobs anywhere else?? And they let homeless people camp out at the drivethrough windows and smoke and urinate and leave their garbage there and don't notify anyone to clean the mess up, so that you, in your car, are subjected to the lovely aromas and filth while being made to wait, and by the way, it's never a short wait either. Some Walgreens upper management Yay-hoo ought to pay these two pharmacies a visit, they both SUCK. So, when I finally decided I'd had enough and wanted my prescriptions transferred elsewhere, guess what - 2 other pharmacies told me they had had problems trying to get Walgreens to perform the transfer, that they were not cooperative, and that it would be easier to ask my doctors to re-direct the prescriptions!! That about says it all. Folks, stay AWAY from these horrible nasty Walgreens!!! refills,"

"The employees here are not given either the proper training or the right equipment/amount of employees to do a good job. In the last month we’ve experienced such disappointment that we reached out to corporate. It’s sad when even corporate makes the comment that this particular store is known to be awful."

"Never expect to get your medication in any sense of a hurry. Usually takes them days or even weeks to fill a simple prescription, but they're estimated time is always "Give us 30 more minutes", making you come back multiple times just to get told "30 more minutes" again over and over and over again. Worst Walgreens pharmacy I've ever delt with"

"This isn't the fault of the staff. Humboldt County is an awful place to live for anyone who needs healthcare, even in the most general sense. The problems with healthcare in this county trickle down to access to medication. This Walgrens is awful. I never get my prescriptions quickly. I am waiting on one that was sent from my doctor about two weeks ago. After waiting over a week, I finally called and found out they didn't even order my medication. So had I never called, they never would have even ordered it. Five days later, I am still waiting for it. This is typical stuff I experience from this pharmacy on a monthly basis. Again, I don't think this is a problem with the staff; it's more complicated than that. I'd say avoid this place, but we don't really have many options here."
