Walmart Pharmacy

The pharmacy itself isn’t bad but I’ve had the unfortunate luck of having to deal with the pharmacist “Meredith” the last two times I’ve had to fill here. The first time, my husband had just had his wisdom teeth removed. The tech, as well as Meredith, asked rather loudly what was the reason for the fill, “what procedure did you have that requires this drug?”. First of all, it obviously came from an oral surgeon. Secondly, you can run Kasper and see that my husband and I are not some habitual drug users. Lastly, my main issue with that visit was that it’s none of your business what it’s for nor the other patients waiting behind us. Very unprofessional and we are currently looking into any sort of privacy violations. I have an intense procedure coming up and had that been asked of me at the window after my surgery, I’d probably break down in tears. Extremely insensitive and unprofessional.nFinally, my visit this evening. I had to have a maintenance medicine (not a controlled substance) called in here as my regular pharmacy was all ready closed. I had had a lower dose at Walmart previously and when my doctor increased it, we just left it at his buildings pharmacy. Not only did Meredith refuse to fill it, even after offering proof of my dose for the last year, I was again treated as if I was some sort of narcotics abuser. If I have talked my prescriptions over with my physician and we have weighed the pros and cons, why be difficult just because you can? She knew I had taken a lower dose before. Obviously there is a reason a higher dose was prescribed. Definitely done with this pharmacy and will be looking into further action.

They don't know what they are doing. Yes I know times can be stressful. However they know they have to forget their home life to work a job, that's the advice I got from a Walmart employee. They aren't kind and they don't understand what pills I need even if I explained it 4 times.

I read the reviews and I thought, surely these people can't be giving these people a fair chance. Boy was I wrong! Woman on the phone was rude, told me I had no refills, call my doctor-meanwhile I'm staring at my bottle with one refill! Then she says 'well you could just buy it over the counter'. Why would I pay $20 over the counter when it's free with my insurance? I called Princeton Walmart, she was very nice and saw it and said she'd take care of it. It took 2 seconds! I'll stick with Princeton.

I switched to Walmart recently for my prescriptions, and they have helped me save a lot on my monthly costs. They found quickly that 2 of my prescriptions were cheaper without the insurance (Something that I wasn't told at Walgreen's) and they were able to advise me how to get a 90 day supply. Very helpful so far!
