- CDChris DodgeDec 19, 20251.0Incompetent and refuses to transfer my prescription to another pharmacy
- 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.
