- MYmarina yashiroDec 16, 20251.0The professionalism of that particular pharmacy staff that I encountered over the phone around 4pm on 12/15/2025 was inexcusable and unacceptable. I did NOT appreciate being spoken to like a child when trying to help someone else because a fluke happened and had to call again, and to be rude for the sake of being rude makes me wonder how they treat others in general, not just who they are supposed to help for a check. "Maybe next time I should write it down" with such vitriol in the tone of voice like I was wasting their time? Maybe they should find another place to work if you feel inconvenienced trying to make sure someone else gets what they need. To know that people rely on them with that kind of attitude is unsettling, to say the least. I already know that this review won't change anything, but at least it's out there for others to know to think twice before trusting this pharmacy with their health.
- BFBradley FullerNov 20, 20251.0After getting fired by DOGE, I lost my primary insurance. Luckily, my husband has Tricare insurance through his active duty military status. When I told the Safeway pharmacist that I needed to use my husband's insurance they refused. They said they couldn't order my anxiety medications, which are needed given the employment situation. I think they hate military families and purposely refuse them! Uggghhh... Moving forward.
- PSPrerna SitomerSep 21, 20255.0The pharmacist, Dr. Jacqueline, is wonderful and very kind! She is knowledgeable, takes care of customers very well, and has a good sense of humor.
- KYKate Lockard YoungMar 14, 20251.0The worst customer service at this location. The moment I stepped up to speak with pharmacist I was met with attitude. Denise was put out that I was asking for my prescription. Rather than looking for the item I needed, they told me it was out of stock. When I said I couldn't hear what the other pharmacist was saying she started mock signing words at me. Moments after I left, with my toddler, they called to tell me they did have what I needed. So after dismissing me, giving attitude and mocking me they then wanted to provide service. I will not be going back there, ever.
