Horrible Mail Service Pharmacy
New inside policy
Good Start program
I took my husbands prescriptions to Walgreens to be fill because that is where my insurance company said I would get the best price because they had a deal with them. Right after getting them filled we started Getting calls from a " Good Start Program".
Now this has turned into a daily call every day at 7:15 AM, this started on a Sunday, on 2 days when I wasn't here ,there where repeated calls for 15 minutes. I called Walgreens and they said someone must have hacked into there computer system. I just want other people to be aware of this. It is very annoying to the point that I feel I'm being harassed by this company.
I have gotten prescriptions filled other places and have never had this happen. Seems odd only at Walgreens and they say they don't share information. Seems odd to me, and very frustrated with the whole thing.
Just a warning to others... Thank for letting me vent.

Terrible Service
I went to Take Care Clinic over the weekend June 2012. I knew I had a bacterial lung infection, but instead of giving me an inhaler and antibiotics, he chalked it up to stress.
Told me to get Vick's vapo rub, and sent me on my way. It got so bad over the weekend, that Monday I saw my professional Dr, and she immediately put me on antibiotics and an inhaler. I got a bill from Take Care Clinic and the nurse practitioner had diagnosed it as stress and mental issues, so the Insurance won't cover it. Well, fast forward to March 30, 2013.
I have been told by 5 people with Take Care Clinic that they would change the diagnosis. Still nothing has happened, and I just got a letter from a collections agency even though I was told by Take Care Clinic to not pay any bills.
I can't stress enough to people to go to a professional Dr, and avoid Take Care Clinic at all costs.When I complain to Walgreen's, they take no responsibility saying it's a separate entity. My argument with that is Walgreen's needs to take some responsibility since this clinic is under their umbrella, and advertises Walgreen's & Take Care Clinic I never write on review/complaint boards, but i don't want anyone going through the *** that I'm still going through almost a year later.
Don't use Walgreens
What is so funny?
I dropped off a prescription for my daughter on 5-4-13, and they said they didn't have the medicine that it would be here on 5-8-13 to pick it up then. On 5-8-13 I called Walgreens in Galesburg, IL.
on Freemont and Henderson street at 1:30pm to see if it was ready, and it wasn't so when I started to ask why I was put on hold for the pharmacist to talk to me all she said was that it is a long process and that they have other customers, and that she would have to wait for another pharmacist to come in so that she could fill it, and when I said WHAT, you have had this prescription for 4 day's and now your telling me it won't be ready until after 6:00pm. Then I heard her laugh. Her response was I am not going to listen to this, and I said well maybe someone should listen, she replied she wasn't laughing that she was about to cry..I know a laugh when I hear one.
My complaint is that it should never take that long to fill a prescription even though you don't have it right then and there..there is such a thing called courtesy which is something I am not seeing and feeling from this establishment. You could at least fill the prescriptions that are there waiting for day's to be filled immediatley when the medicine come's in..not have excuses to why they aren't, and have someone with compassion talk with waiting customers..

Trying to fill prescription
on 1-10-13 i turned in a narcotic medication prescription to be filled. on 1-11-13 i called and asked if it was filled.
pharmacist said no not yet. please call back in 2 hours. i called in 2 hours. i was told no not yet.
it would be filled in 2 hours. i drove to pharmacy to collect medication. i was told it is not ready come back in to hours. i told them i have to go to GA.
i have to be there by 16:00 hrs. can i pick it up on sunday (1-13-13). they said no problem. i returned on 1-13-13 to collect medication.
they said it is not ready, come back in 2 hours. i asked to speak to pharmacist manager. she was not at work. store manager told me there was nothing she could do.
she is the store manager not the pharmacy manager. i asked the pharmacy tech if the prescription will be ready in 2 hours. he said yes. i asked my GF to pick up medication since i had to catch a flight back to Dallas in 45 min.
My GF has been picking up "ALL" of my prescriptions for the past 3 years. i got on plane, GF went back to pharmacy. Pharmacy told her they do not have it ready. it will be another 2 hours.
(she pulled up to drive thru). GF told pharmacy tech this is unacceptable. she wants to speak to whomever is in charge. pharmacy tech walked away, got on speaker (so that everyone could hear) and told her (GF) that she had to move her vehicle because others are trying to get their medication.
GF told him "NO" she's not moving, she was here first. Tech stated over microphone (so that everyone could hear), "IF YOU DO NOT MOVE I WILL CALL THE POLICE AND HAVE YOU REMOVED". GF said "really, you couldn't tell me this privately". another tech took over and asked if he could help.
GF told him the story, he asked if she could come inside. while she is parking he will have it filled. she parked walked inside, when she approached counter. the helpful tech told her, she cannot pickup medication for me.
someone has made a note on my profile stating none is to pick up my medication but me. she called me and told me. i told her I'm calling this pharmacy now. phone continued to ring on my end.
(i was using separate cell phone, i have two) i could hear phone ringing in background of other phone. helpful tech told her to have my call him. he can explain why she can't get meds. i told her to tell him to stop talking and answer phone, because I'm calling now.
he finally answered and told me excuse. i told him I've never authorized any changes to my profile. i asked who made the changes. he said he couldn't tell me.
i told him i want my profile corrected. he said i would have to come in with my ID. this was the only way i could make changes. after app.
30 minutes of arguing, he agreed to allow GF to pickup meds only if she gave him copy of Drivers License, cell phone number, home phone number, written statement of relation to me.
on 2-6-13 we went to same pharmacy to drop off prescription. pharmacist told us then they did not have the meds on hand. please "CALL" back on friday, we may have them then.
for we get a shipment in on thursdays. we called. i was told do to security and company policy we cannot give that info over the phone. i asked why was i told to "CALL".
pharmacist stated i misunderstood her directives. i told her "no i did not" how can someone misunderstand a simple directive such as "CALL" if you told me to come back, i would not have called. i asked again if they have the medications. she again stated the security and Company BS.
i told her if she would look at my profile, she could see that i have been shopping at this same location for the last 6 years, getting the same medication. its not like I'm some Joe Public asking for private info. again i got the company and security BS. i asked if i went to a Walgreens close to me.
could they tell me what the pharmacy in lehighe acres has for supplies for my meds. she told me yes. i knew this was BS. but hey i figured, just maybe they can.
i drove to the pharmacy closest to me (Dallas, TX) (now you know why my GF has been p/u my meds, i travel for my work). i asked them if they could tell me if the pharmacy in lehighe acres fl had on hand the meds i have a prescription for. they (Dallas,TX) no, we cannot tell. we don't have the capability of telling what they have or not.
they cannot tell what we have either. i asked this pharmacist to please call and ask. i figured one pharmacist could get the answer from another pharmacist. *** IDEA, they wouldn't tell her either.
i called the pharmacy ion Lehighe acres fl, while standing in front of the pharmacist in Dallas, TX. i asked the pharmacist in lehigh, why did you tell me that i could drive over to a pharmacy near me. ask them what you (lehigh) have for supplies on the meds i need. lehigh pharmacist told me that i misunderstood her, she did not say that.
i cussed her out for being ***, then i called customer service at corporate. i was able to talk to the complaint dept. i asked that i speak to the person who was in charge of all complaints. i do not want to have to tell the story twice.
the lady said she needed to know the story before she could transfer to the appropriate area. i asked her to connect to the person in charge of ALL complaints. again, i got the "i need to know speech". so i told he the story, all about the being told to call back, GF picking up meds, the profile BS, my long standings with Walgreens, the years of customer loyalty.
the lady on the phone with customer service stated (hold on, wait till you hear this) she told me that "I could not get a narcotic prescription filled in Tx from a Fl doctor." i asked her when the *** did i tell you that i was trying to do something like that. you are doing the same thing, they did. your NOT LISTENING. this company in my opinion,( my opinion is my sole opinion, not to be construed as to be the opinion of Walgreens or its affiliates, partners, or sister companies) has seriously gone to SH#*.
they will *****NEVER***** get another penny of my money. i have spent app. $21,600 on my medication over the past 6 years. I REFUSE TO DEAL WITH A COMPANY THAT IS TO *** TO PROTECT ITS CUSTOMERS.
THEY HIRE MINDLESS DRONES TO ANSWER THE PHONES. NOONE WANTS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY OF THEIR OWN ACTIONS.
Disappointed and won't be going back

Only a pharmacist can get behind-the-counter medications. That's tied to legal reasons.
Having the Walgreens pharmacy open at 10am is a pretty common trend for non-24 hour stores around the country.
Not that it probably matters to you. You did the right thing by doing what was best for you.
