Walgreens

Best Walgreens in Albuquerque. Skip the other ones and come to this one. It’s a one stop shop for all your daily needs.

Constantly harassing me and my doctor about a medication I have taken for a decade for pain due to an injury in the military. They are always assuming or insinuating I am a drug addict. (I have actually had a male tech in his 20’s with blond-​ish hair say I do not look like I need pain medication since I have «wild tattoos» and «seem to get around just fine») It almost seems as if they are doing everything they can to periodically cause delays in my prescription pick up for fun. (Which Tramadol is expressly directed to NOT abruptly stop taking for fear of seizures and/​or death.) My Dr. has me set up with pre-​authorized monthly pick up and Walgreen’s pharm staff deny filling it and insist on Dr. approval randomly. Pharm techs also constantly say I am picking up early (when I pick up on or around the 1^st of every month and have a surplus from not abusing these meds… most recently they said I cannot pick up until the 17^th and here I am on the 18^th STILL trying to get my meds.) and odd pick up dates are demanded despite vacations or schedule issues I may have. I’ll be switching to another pharmacy asap.

Gear staff at this location! Herman in the liqueur Dept is friendly and responsible! Plus he makes a great Santa! Always remembers people’s names, there needs and always smiles. I used to work with their GM Shane, good guy and still a hard worker! This location has a great staff and a clean store. I wish the pharmacy was staffed a bit more but it still is run quite nicely.
