Woefully understaffed. Terrible wait times for every
thing. And forget about getting someone to answer the phone.

4 people behind the counter but they don't even look up at customers. They advertise no wait time for flu shots but had to wait for 20 min. Then she has me sit, and wait, and forgets about me 10/06/2025

They are always so helpful with medications for my family, including my mother who lives with us. I know the staff is managing so much and appreciate them taking the time to thoroughly address any concerns we have. Thankful for you all!

I’m not sure if they are understaffed or what but my prescriptions are never ready after they have been called in. Generally have to wait in line, ask for the script to be filled, come back some time later and maybe it’s ready, maybe I have to ask again. They have it set up so it is difficult to talk to the person behind the counter (computer monitors are in the way and it’s difficult to hear the person speaking). They can only seem to help one person at a time, so if there is an insurance hang up for someone, you’ll get to wait while the poor frustrated customer tries to navigate this. The one person I seem to routinely encounter always has to ask the one pharmacist for help. Maybe they need another qualified pharmacist? This pharmacy is convenient because I shop here regularly, but it’s beyond frustrating.

My prescriptions are continuously forgotten about and even the ones that their pharmacist says to not lapse in don't get filled on time.
