Fred Meyer Pharmacy

I've used i believe about 3 freddies pharmacies now. I love how polite the staff is here at the dalles freddies pharmacy. When my prescription(s) aren't ready they give me an eta on when it will be ready. If I have more shopping they will start on the prescription(s) and they will be done when i go back to pick them up.

The store here, prior to the expansion, was always chaotic at times but, with decent planning, you could get in and out if you ordered in advance. The biggest delay was the line and the tragic configuration of the parking lot. The new pharmacy, like the new store, is an epic disaster and a clear example of what can happen when a corporate owner decides to maximize profits over customer service. Even when an order is sent days in advance, it probably won't be ready. It seems like you have to make a personal appearance before they are even started. The text alerts for a filled prescription have gone from reliable to inconsistent to almost extinct. Call before you go. Now there are, apparently, also supplier issues for relatively common medications. Not the pharmacy's fault but choosing to guard that little tidbit of info like a Trump tax return IS.nTuesday, I believe, is the day the local assisted living type facilities bus our senior citizens over to do shopping and get medications. I have seen some of them wait for over an hour, easily and then leave without medication because they have a van to catch. This is is worst part because many of those folks do not have another option.nI am not going to throw a huge fit (just this small to medium sized one) because it is pointless when Kroger knows enough people are stuck going to their pharmacy. This review won't make a difference to them but I always find a detailed description of a customer's grievances helpful when I choose where to shop, so hopefully it helps someone else. The bottom line, in my opinion, life is too darn short, if you can go somewhere else, I highly recommend it. There are at least three other options in the same zip code and several more over in Hood River. Some insurance companies even do mail order refills. Grocery options are about the same and they all have better parking. This place makes Wal Mart appealing.

Fred Meyer is my regular pharmacy of choice. However, more recently, my opinion of the staff in The Dalles department has gained more respect. An employee, Abbi, has been the person I've dealt with most lately, and she is absolutely fantastic. Very polite and personal, has a wonderful personality.nTonight, I also talked to Melissa, another employee in the department. She was completely polite, and answered my several questions with grace and simplicity.

One of the friendliest places to get prescriptions filled. The staff is also extremely knowledgeable and their prices are reasonable and competitive. I shopped for a pharmacy when I moved to The Dalles 25 years ago. I found the one that works best for me and I'm still there. Need I say more?

My family and I have been coming here for our prescriptions for a few years now and most of my experiences have been below average. I have been turned away many times because prescriptions are not ready. It is not easy loading up sick children or being sick my self and having to make another trip to go pick up a prescription that should have already been ready for pick up. Also, poor customer service from clerks, and rx drop off staff. An experience I had today made me finalize my decision on switching pharmacies.
