Walgreens

In the three times I’ve tried to use this pharmacy, they have failed all three times.
First, they tried to switch Meds on us. My daughter has had the same asthma Meds for six years. We move from California to Oregon and they say they have all her medications «on file,» but then try to give her something else!
Second time, they wanted to charge us $ 250 for a one month supply of my husband’s meds. We call Costco to get a price comparison, they charge $ 50 for a three month supply!
Third time, I’m waiting for meds for my son (three prescriptions). They say it’ll take 45 minutes. We leave for an hour and come back. They are still not ready. Ninety minutes later, they are finally ready. One of them is $ 175. I’ve learned my lesson. I’m going to Costco from now on.
I’m done with Walgreens.
This isn’t right.
Avoid this location if at all possible.

This might be the worst pharmacy in the United States or Canada. The lines are always long, the people unhelpful, and mistakes are frequent. They actually filled my Rx incorrectly with a drug that could have given me serious adverse events. Had I not caught the mistake before taking the drug, it could have been a serious problem. The only redeeming factor is that they have a drive through but that isn’t enough for me to keep coming here.

Checked out of Immediate care down the road at 6:04pm. First run thru drive thru 20 mins later I did not expect to get my Rx, but wanted to make sure they had my new insurance. She told me they hadn’t received my Rx from docs office yet, and that it could take up to an hour. Went and sat in parking lot until 7pm. Back thru, she said they just got it at 6:58, and it would be another 20 minutes. Drove across the way to sit in a different parking lot. Gave them 30 mins to come back and wait in line. After 10 mins, person in front of me drove off suddenly. Tech said she needed my ins card again as it wasnt working. Total of 2 hours wasted. Had I taken the time to read prwvious reviews, I would have never come here. I’ll be going back to Target.

Ive tried to have prescriptions filled at this Walgreens twice and was very disappointed both times. I always shop around for the best price I can find before I go to the pharmacy with a prescription. The first time I went to this location with a coupon from
for a certain prescription at a great price. The coupon was specific for Walgreens only. The female pharmacist threw a fit and would not fill my prescription at the coupon price. She complained that she would lose money on that prescription at that price. Walgreens the corporation agreed to the coupon price! What difference should it make to the pharmacist whether they make money or not? Walgreens is obviously trying to bring in business by offering the coupon. I probably should have complained to the Walgreens corporate office that time. I didn’t, but I’m telling other Unilocalers about it now.
The other day, I took another prescription to this same Walgreens, this time with a discount card from
. The pharmacist filled it for a lower quantity than the doctor ordered presumably just so that we would not get the discounted price. Why don’t the pharmacists at this location honor the coupon or discount that Walgreens offers? I will not be going back to this Walgreens at all and I’ll think twice about going to any Walgreens ever again.
To add insult to injury, on this 2^nd trip, there was a homeless guy sitting on a bench outside the store asking for spare change.

Extremely frustrating to fill an Rx here. They never have enough of the Rx, so it’s always a partial fill, requiring multiple trips. Also, I much prefer 24 hour service in the pharmacy… I was really surprised to learn that isn’t the norm here in Oregon. If not for that, why would a person ever choose walgreens?

I’ve had so many problems with them over the years, it’s amazing that I still do business with them at all.
Let’s start with outrageous price gouging. For diabetic test strips their prices are 4x-​5x more than numerous other places. It’s completely insane. This is true of other things as well.
It is a nightmare having prescriptions with them. Sometimes I get notified when a prescription is ready, sometimes I don’t. Sometimes I go there not knowing, and get balled out for coming before it’s ready. Sometimes I don’t show up until a week after it was ready but never notified, and they have removed it. Sometimes for refills they dutifully contact my doctor and get that in a timely manner, but often times they do not and completely drop the ball, leading me to go without drugs that I need. Sometimes I can go to the Walgreens near me to sort things out, sometimes they tell me I have to call a 1 – 800 number. It’s maddening how disorganized and hostile to patients their whole set up is. I really need to find a better pharmacist, but there seem to be so few around now.

There is something seriously wrong with this pharmacy. The only reason I’m giving it 2 stars is because occasionally, about 1 in 10 times, they’ll get it right. The first year I went there, the guy in the drive thru recognized my car once a month (not sure how he did that) and had my prescriptions waiting. Now, I get to wait at least 45 minutes each time and on one special occasion, I had to return 3 times because the pharmacist kept ordering the wrong item. The manager apologized and said he would send me a $ 10 coupon for my troubles, not only did nothing ever come, but having to drive back 3 times to pick up one item, isn’t worth $ 10. The only reason I stay here is because when I travel, if I ever happen to forget something there’s likely a Walgreens and they have my order on file. I tried Safeway, but they keep separate files and the transfer process between the stores is miserable. Walgreens is an easy transfer process but beyond horrible people working at this location. I’m constantly in search of an alternative and if I find one, I’ll be sure to post about it.

Loser service. Would have been faster to order it from Rite Aid than come here where they have it «in stock.»

I normally would not write a review on a chain because we’ve all been to them and had our own experience, plus there is not usually a lot of difference between one and another.
But I’ve been to this location as well as Tigard & Scholls Murray, to be able to say there are big differences and most importantly, their consistent differences visit after visit.
The employees and management are much nicer here than Tigard and Beaverton Scholls, especially Tigard where staff is so incredibly rude. A minor request here they will grant you, the same request at the other locations will get you a big fat NO.
The location is great for me. Next to my gym, right off the freeway, close to Bridgeport Village and Whole Foods.
I’ve been harassed at the Tigard location and received mediocre service at the Beaverton Scholls. I appreciate the friendliness of the staff and management here and avoid Tigard like the plague after more than one unfortunate incident. Plus getting to the Tigard location is a huge headache because Pacific Hwy is always packed no matter the date or time. And Scholls Ferry to the Beaverton location is almost as bad traffic.
The only downside is that the pharmacy lines can get long, there isn’t even a convenient place for people to stand and it creates congestion in the area for anyone trying to pass through. It can also take time to get an RX, this can be said for the other locations as well.

This walgreens is okay. The staff isn’t the most helpful. The lady with the scraggly dark redish hair and long fake nails never smiles. She seems like she’s always in a bad mood and/​or tired all the time, definitely not enthusiastic. And I’m not sure how she can even do anything with such ridiculously long nails

Get your free flu shot here! Walk in anytime!

The other reviewer isn’t as comfortable with u-​turns as I am ;)
Friendly employees.

It’s a Walgreens. Standard drug-​store stuff at standard drug-​store prices. I’d give it a nice average three stars except for its absolutely awful location. It’s on a sort of access road and you have to do vehicular gymnastics to get back on a main thoroughfare. Way more trouble than i’d like to deal with.
