Safeway Pharmacy

"Staff extremely helpful at Lincoln Center. Pharmacist was so helpful."

"The worst experience of my life at the pharmacy. I have been a customer at Safeway for at least 20 years. Either Manteca or pacific ave. It took one time of me having a terrible disrespectful talk with the new pharmacist. Dont know his name but he has been there for maybe two years He is from another country, but that does not matter, I just wished I knew his name. First visit, due to medication I have been taken for over 15 years he felt he need to know why I am taking it, where is the pain, how bad is the pain...bla bla bla. Then he violated the HIPAA law speaking very loudly for others to hear the name he was calling me. He should be reprimanded for his actions. How he got to be a pharmacist I will never know. Never have him discuss your illness with him. He is a phoney, a rude jerk that Safeway needs to dismiss him. If I have to pick up meds there I make sure he does not talk with me. Safeway, please correct this situation cause more bad reviews will be written about this jerk and you don't want this to occur."

"Been using Safeway Pharmacy for all my Pharmacy for Meds & Flu Shots etc. Safeway Pharmacy on Pacific since 2015. Great service"

"Personnel always helpful...lot of new faces but all capable...have gotten my meds filled for years and vaccinations annually."

"Rude Customer Service. I have been going to this Pharmacy for years. They used to be kind people with a smile. I have tinnitus and have to take heavy medication that requires many signatures. I take them like clockwork, no more no less. If you don't take them for a day or two, you will have severe withdraws. I went to pick up my prescription after seeing my Doctor that gave me the refill prescription papers with Doc signature, they say they can't refill for 3 more days because I'm too early. So after arguing with them that its been the full 90 days, they treated me like I was a drug dealer or a drug addict trying to get my "fix". I was trying to explain to them that I don't want to go through withdraw symptoms be cause it plain sucks and my Tinnitus will go through the roof. The pharmacist was new, never seen her before... treated me like complete garbage. So, I left and came back 3 days later, which was today. They tell me, "we don't have your prescription ready, you will have to come back tomorrow and gave me a couple pills to hold me over. If I came in Friday, WHY DIDN'T THEY ORDER THEM AND MAKE SURE THEY HAD MY ORDER! Now I have to make a 3rd trip. This is a long review because I want people to be aware of their practices. The Pharmacist today tried just filling 1 month instead of 3 months like my doctor ordered. She sad we don't have enough so you can pick them up monthly. That would be 3 trips and 3 bills to my insurance instead of one. I would of cost me more out of pocket at a monthly fill that at a 90 day fill. So I asked her, so you want me to come back 3 times and pay 3x the amount because you don't have it in stock even though you knew I was coming in since Friday's episode? Just looked at me like a deer in headlights. Safeway Pharmacy USED to be amazing! Too bad the new team is terrible with customer service and shady when it comes to refill practices. Any suggestions on a better pharmacy?"
