- DSDan S.Jul 25, 20251.0One of the worst pharmacies I’ve ever had to deal with as a prescriber. The pharmacist was argumentative. I was sending a prescription for an antibiotic for my partners acne. They submitted to the insurance company that has failed when it was not when I tried to fix the situation He was getting rude and argumentative. I will not be sending any more prescription prescriptions to Safeway and I will encourage my patients to find other pharmacies as well.

- AVAlyssa VanceJun 9, 20231.0Has been saying my medication would be available "tomorrow afternoon".... for each of the last four days. They're obviously never going to fill it, and they won't even tell me why. It's not even a controlled substance! Absolutely horrible, horrible service.

Why is reviewing my Medicare plan every year important?
Reviewing your Medicare plan every year is important because Medicare Advantage (Part C) and Medicare Prescription Drug Plans (Part D) can change annually.
