Pharmacies in Millbrae, CA

“I don't usually write review, but I feel like to write a review to thank Judy, she is so far the most helpful and patient pharmacist I have ever met. My dad's prescriptions were sent to a wrong pharmacy, however I was not able to get it transfer due to insurance issue, I called Safeway and Judy picked up the phone, she didn't only help me to solve my prescriptions problem by calling different parties, on top of that, she also provided various options for me in order to avoid the problem to happen again. I didn't expect to get this outstanding customer service from a pharmacy.. Thank you Judy again!”

“Went in to grab some ibuprofen and ask the pharmacist some questions. The pharmacist was informative and helpful. She told us exactly what we needed and assisted us with how to go about filling out a prescription. The store was full of people and as we were leaving the line seem to be growing. However, we didn't wait too long and the customer service definitely made up for it.”

“Very nice store...everything in tip top shape.It has been awhile since I have shopped at Walgreens - has been a favorite for years - and, there are none in our neighborhood.I was taken aback by the prices.I made a purchase - mis-read the "sale" promo/ price and was taken aback.The clerk was very gracious. As was the other employee... very nice lady, I spoke to 5/28/2023 2 pm”

“For those taking care of a homebound person, I want to share how Walgreens helped me, especially the clerks and managers who understand the needs of the homebound, take care of my parents with all of their health needs, especially when their own health care provider would not help In short, for dementia, they have "Brightstrong" and their own brand with Ginko Biloba and Choline. It is not a cure, but it helps, and be aware that dementia can be an influence on one's inability to walk or transfer. As my parents ability to do this declined, Walgreens had canes, walkers, wheelchairs and commodes that were very helpful. For skin cancer, "Skin Tag Oil", again, not a cure, and may not work for everyone, but it seemed to prevent my mom's skin cancer, which became an open wound about 1 inch in diameter, from getting worse and keeping a stasis. It may be that the ingredient "Thuja Occidentalis", from conifer oils, has an anti-cancer ability. With this, wound care with saline solution, sometimes Hydrogen Peroxide (which deeply cleanses, but if used too often prevents healthy skin from regrowing), and iodine solution, with rolled gauze used as a bandage and held with clear or cloth tape. If the wound is more serious, then use gauze pads or adhesive bandages (the Walgreens brand was very good in protecting the wound and yet gentle on the skin) For Incontinence, the 3 x 4 ft thick pads, which are washable, were helpful at night or for putting on the wheelchair as padding, and adult undergarments, be it Depends or the Walgreens brand, which worked well For bed sores, if it is minimal, Caladryl or the Walgreens brand works, and if it gets worse, and these can grow quickly from minor irritation to an open wound, then Caloseptine works very well, and if necessary, cover with a Adhesive Gauze bandage, the Walgreens brand was the best, and they have various sizes. For bowel movement issues, to keep things regular and avoid constipation or diarrhea, daily probiotic yogurt like Activa with a good fiber cereal like Grape Nuts tastes good and helps with regularity, and a spoonful of Metamucil with the yogurt ( try different amounts to find what works for that person) also helps a lot. For difficulty in urination, be it from prostate issues ( especially if the typical medication from doctors loses its ability to work, they say that the issue is that the prostate has grown with old age and limits the uretha, which is true, but there are natural remedies worth trying dealing with urinary tract and kidney infections that result). So, Saw Palmetto, try one per day and work up to two or maybe three, find out what works for the individual, more than three may be too strong, but Saw Palmetto, I found out, going back for a century, made from the Palm plant, has been used to decrease the prostate gland, regulating the change in hormones that has cause it's increase. Also, the difficulty in urination is not only because of the growth of the prostate gland, but also the resulting urine that sits in the gall bladder unable to expel totally, as when one was younger. So, to help with this, pure 100% cranberry juice, about 4 oz per day, and about 8 cups of purified water ( or at least 600 mls of water) per day help in this regard. Also, one or two garlic pills per day and perhaps one pill of tumeric, help with preventing bacterial infections in the urinary tract system. Again, thank you to Walgreens and all the staff who provide this service to those with health care problems, especially those who have no where else to turn. I write this review as a summary of online resources such as Webmed where doctors and homebound people give their advice”
