- JGJack GoodwinMar 7, 20255.05 stars!! Kesha and her colleagues went the extra mile to get my mother her medicine when she was discharged from an invasive surgery. Despite the need for a quick turnaround, the staff banded together to get her what she needed to rebuild her health in record time! So thankful to have a service of this quality available in our community.
- ADAmy DolgovFeb 2, 20245.0They get things filled, they're polite, and they actually answer their phones. Sorry I didn't switch here sooner.
- QMQuinn McLaughlinMar 14, 20161.0Wow. Just received unbelievably rude service here- the pharmacist refused to talk to my doctor, who got stuck trying to get through safeways phone robot. Don't come to this pharmacy. Go to cvs down the street, or anywhere else.
