DO NOT USE this pharmacy for mental health medications. I should have transferred my prescriptions a long time ago, but each time they called to harass my doctor, and promised to place a note in my file to ensure my prescriptions went through smoothly, I thought it would it would improve the next time. I've finally accepted that they are not comfortable filling mental health medications, but I'm genuinely alarmed for others as a matter of parity.

I’ve been coming to this pharmacy for years and never had a bad experience until tonight 11/19 at 7:45 pm. I called to check when a prescription would be ready that was sent over electronically. The woman who answered was sarcastically rude. “Didn’t you call earlier?”, “um, no I didn’t”, with a sarcastic tone “ok well I don’t see anything but I can check if you want to hold it might be a minute” “that would be wonderful thank you” says nothing and call goes quiet. She gets back on the line and states “so it is went through but it’s up to the pharmacist if they will fill it or not” “I’m sorry what does that mean” “the pharmacist needs to review it” “oh ok, I’ve been getting my prescription filled for years and no ones ever said that so I was confused” again with the rude sarcastic attitude “well I’m telling you now”… what in the actual…

I had the same experience with the same pharmacist as Paul F describes below. In my case the young pharmacist went so far as to call my doctor without my prior knowledge or approval. I'm surprised that my doctor entertained the call as his policy is not to allow pharmacists to come between him and his patients. The young pharmacist needs to remember , or if necessary be reminded, that he is not a MD, and that he should not make a practice of questioning a doctor's judgment, particularly where he knows nothing of the related history.

The people at this pharmacy are generally nice and do a great job. However, there is one male pharmacist (I believe he is Asian although I do not know his name) who questioned my doctor's prescriptions and refused to fill my prescriptions because he didn't feel like overriding certain insurance presets. I have been coming to this pharmacy for years, have had the same medications and all of a sudden this individual has the audacity to question my PCP's decision/rationale for prescribing my meds? Unbelievable. He refused to fill it and I had to threaten to sue him personally if I experienced any sort of life-threatening withdrawal symptoms at which point he told me a different pharmacist was taking over the 3pm shift. Waited until 3pm and had my regular meds filled no problem. This is the only rude and unprofessional pharmacist at this location. Glad I don't ever have to deal with him again. All other employees are great!

The pharmacy counter clerk was wearing a face shield to protect herself, but NOT a FACE MASK to protect others. Someone working for a pharmacy should know better.

I've never had an issue coming here. Their service is prompt considering the number of patients they see on a regular basis. When I was in extreme pain from an ear infection, they rushed my prescription so I could pick up my medication in just over 30 minutes. The lady at the front desk who checks you out is always really sweet, but you can tell she has to deal with a lot of entitled a-holes. Follow the Golden Rule y'all!

A 15 minute wait to get the flu shot turned into a 40 minute wait. They also don’t inform you when it is time to get your shot they just assume that you know how the system works there even if it’s your first time. The women at reception was nice but the pharmacist was very argumentative and rude. I will not come here again.

Extremely rude pharmacist. She is probably over worked and stressed out, but made what should have been a pretty simple visit a very stressful experience. Just went for my flu shot, definitely won’t be back

These people are always great. They have to deal with some very self-important people at times, yet always seem to keep their cool. I've been going there for years, and am more than happy to to drive out of my way to have them help me.

This pharmacy has never been able to receive my prescription and have it available. I have to actively manage the process by calling the doctor's office and the pharmacy to make sure they receive my prescription. I'll be changing pharmacy soon.
