Walgreens

My girlfriend is having this exact issue. We went to a walgreens in Altamonte Springs Florida, across from Florida Hospital Altamonte. She has a spinal simulator for pain management, and it has broken, and is now malfunctioning and sending electrical shocks straight into her spinal cord. To have this implant put in it required drilling holes in her vertebre… this is NOT a small procedure. This of course is causing great amounts of pain. We went to the pharmacist with a prescription given by her doctor, and we have no problem waiting for it to be verified. The Pharmacist we find out later blacklisted her, and now she cannot get ANY meds from Walgreens, even cold medications. So not only can she not get her pain meds, she cannot go to any Aalgreens for any medications whatsoever. We found this out when she went in and they treated her like she was some kind of crackhead criminal.
My girlfriend is a 25 year old blonde girl, who is clean cut, was wearing a Ralph Laurren shirt when we walked in, and carries a $ 300 Dooney and Bourke purse. I drove up in my Audi. We are far from looking like meth heads, or pill poppers. We just want her to get her pain meds so she can stay out of the hospital, until she can have her surgery to fix her simulator. She has been on pain meds for 9 years, and we brought all the documentation to prove this. The Pharmacist was a real a-​hole for doing this to her.

TOTAL JOKE! I tried filling Adderall script and she said she couldn’t fill without Dr. Calling to explain why I’m taking it. I was pretty confused since I have been taking it for over 3 years. She then started to actually lecture me on how the FDA hasn’t approved it for adults and that it was only tested on children.
Basically, the wannabe Dr is on is on a power and morality trip and thinks she knows better than my Dr. Absolutely crazy stupid. She’s literally like 9 months pregnant and probably shouldn’t even be working. Stay away! It pains me that I had to give 1 star not 0 which they deserve!

I go here often and usually after 12am. The day time staff are usually polite and talkative. But the older man who works after 12am is rude. He won’t even talk to me or my bf when we come in and go through his line. At first i thought nothing of it thinking maybe he’s having a bad night. But it is every single time now. He’ll have full blown conversations with other customers but there is something about us he doesn’t like I guess.

This is just up the street from my house and this particular location sees me on a very regular basis for retail purchases. I don’t always Unilocal about when I go, but it’s damn nearly daily. I will say that they ALWAYS have a very nice cashier/​front counter person who is pleasant and efficient. That means a lot to me. I’ve had my moments with the pharmacy at this location and at other Walgreen’s as well. However, I’ve noticed a huge improvement in their pharmacy efficiency. Whatever they’ve done, kudos! I still prefer to use Publix since I tend to be able to secure better prices for my rx’s. I HAVE to shop around. However, when you’re leaving the hospital at a late hour and NEED your rx RIGHT away… they’re like an oasis in the desert. I’m sold and I notice they don’t seem to have high turnover and that tends to ensure the employees actually care. I try to only shop where I’m treated well.

Great customer service. I was welcomed upon entering the store, asked if I needed help by numerous employees as I walked through the aisles. The store is clean, plenty of parking and the customer service is great.
I will be using the Walgreens again.

I’ve been a fan of Walgreens ever since they revolutionized the whole drive thru pharmacy thing. They’ve saved me on more than one occasion when I’ve had a sick kiddo in the back seat and needed some medicine. Such a relief to be able to just go through the drive thru and get some children’s tylenol or cough syrup, or even diaper cream!
So… with the ever changing health insurance industry, Walgreens is saving the day once again.
For me, gone are the days of a $ 10 generic Rx, $ 25 brand name. Now I have some crazy HSA where I have to pay the first $ 2,000 of all prescriptions, dr visits, whatever,… before co-​insurance kicks in.
Walgreens offers a Prescription Savings Club where lots of generics cost less than $ 1/​week for a 90-​day supply.
The membership fee is normally $ 20/​individual or $ 35/​family per year.
Right now, they’re having a special on enrollment so it’s only $ 5/​individual or $ 10/​family!
It’s totally worth it… For example, I’m going to save $ 6/​mo on a prescription. That’s $ 72/​yr! I’d say that’s worth the $ 10 family membership fee.
Plus, you’ll get 10% off any Walgreens brand products.

Small style store offers a few good things and is open 24 – 7
