- SPSudhir PaiNov 10, 20211.0Avoid the Pharmacy in this Safeway location if you can. If you have lots of time to spare and do not get hassled by rude customer service, then visit the pharmacy here. Just returned from a visit - I had scheduled booster shots appointments for my mom and myself. We booked appointments 2 weeks in advance. We arrived 2 minutes before the appt. time and my mom was attended to 10 minutes after the scheduled appt. time. I was not allowed to accompany my mom inside a big empty room (for translating purposes). The pharmacist was seemingly rude (I think both the ladies did not understand each other due to language issues) which turned out to be a poor experience for my mom. When it was my turn, the pharmacist asked me to wait as she had to prepare my booster shot. After 12 minutes of waiting (beyond appointment time), I was told that I am one day short of completing 6 months (since 2nd dosage) and I cannot get my booster shot today ! Now I need to go thru the process again. Overall poor experience and the pharmacist did not make it any better, in fact made the experience more worse.
- INIrisAnn NelsonDec 21, 20185.0Mixed reviews. Always helpful in answering questions. But, twice I went in after noon to pick up a prescription and not able to either time for different reasons. First time at 1:30 was told I couldn't pick up refill as pharmacist at lunch from 1:30-2:30. Next time at 1:15 told pharmacist at lunch and I couldn't pick up refill. (It was a refill newly changed to Safeway.) Why don't they post on their texts that you can only get prescriptions at certain times? The two pharmacists are excellent! They've given me many vaccinations over the past ten or so years and keep track of what I need! Thanks !
