The customer service and proper procedure in handling medication in a sanitary manner here is truly lacking. A few days ago we got a partial fill of our prescription and were informed to come back one day later to complete the rest our prescription because they were out of stock. Come back a few days later beccause there is no update and they still don't have it. No apology and just tell us to go to a different store with attitude. Understand that logistics in getting supplies can be an issue but that doesn't excuse poor customer service. There should have been an apology, explanation, and/or assistance in finding alternatives instead of giving attitude.However, what's truly amazing or horrible is how they open the tamper resistant medication. A few months ago the clerk opened the medication that required mixing by breaking the tamper resistant seal under the bottle cap with her bare hands. When asked should you be wearing gloves for that the response was attitude. Didn't make a complaint at the time but this recent incident is what drove this review. Never going back there again!

I asked that they request a prescription refill. They agreed. A week passed with no update. When I came in to ask, they said “oh, we said we did, but we never actually requested it.” I asked them AGAIN to please contact the doctor. They AGAIN FAILED. I have now asked them a third time after being without medication for two straight weeks, and have absolutely no reason to believe they’ll do it.

The reason I like this Walgreens is because of one person: Joe. Joe is always helpful and friendly and you feel like you're getting small town service

The pharmacy staff at this Walgreen's seem incompetent. I have dealt with Walgreen's in other locations for a long time, but this Walgreen's pharmacy seems unable to give clear explanations and were unhelpful in filling my most recent prescription. It took me two hours of back and forth and everyone gave me a different story. Even the store manager was unhelpful. I gave up and canceled my prescription there. Furthermore, the pharmacist at the pharmacy to which I am transferring my prescription just called and said she is unable to get anyone at Walgreen's to answer the phone. They keep hanging up on her. This Walgreen's is not even that convenient to where I live, the only reason I went there is because I've had my prescriptions at Walgreen's for years. Not planning to go back.

The female pharmacist at this Walgreen's location is exceptionally rude and nasty. I have dealt with her face to face and on the phone. She cuts the customer off when they have questions and complains about how busy she is and doesn't have time to deal with the issue. She talks so loud that my ear drums ache! I can't believe that Walgreen's tolerates the hideous behavior of this woman.

This is the closest location of Walgreens for us and we occasionally stop by here to get medical supplies and photos. The location is off to the side in a busy shopping strip. Parking can be a challenge given the popularity of other stores here. The store is well organized and clean and that is all the store is good for. The staff is mildly helpful on a good day. Also, the hours are limited compared to the CVS down the road. Because of these reasons, this is not my preferred store for pharmacy supplies.

This pharmacy has some of the worst pharmacists I have ever experienced. Two times the pharmacist did not fill my prescription correctly. She seems incapable of counting pills. The first time it happened she actually told me that I should have noticed there was not enough pills in the bottle. I told her it was not my job to count the pills, it was her job. She gave me a hard time about giving me the pills I was due and since it was too soon for my insurance to cover a refill and it was an antibiotic I needed the pills. She told me the manager would call me back. The manager never called me back. I called back irate the next day and spoke to another pharmacist (thank goodness. I told this pharmacist how the other pharmacist attempted to blame me for not counting my pills. I told her I did not get the call from the manager I was told I would get. I told her the pharmacist told me she was overwhelmed with the number of phone calls asking about the covid vaccines to which I responded to her that she should complain to Walgreens about that...not to to me as I had my own problems. I told her emphatically that I needed my antibiotic pills IMMEDIATELY and since I was not asking for a drug with street value, it is an antibiotic and she should give me the pills I was supposed to be given. This pharmacist told me to come in and she would have them ready for me. And that is not the end of the story. I had another prescription for antibiotic filled last week. I was short 5 pills. This time I got an apology and was told to come in and she would give them to me. I went in, the pharmacist I spoke to had left her shift and it took the one who was there a good 10 minutes to locate where she put them. This was after waiting in line to get them. I hate this pharmacy but it is so conveniently located. If this happens again I am out of there!!!

This review is only for the Walgreen's pharmacy, as the store itself is great. One of the pharmacy techs sent my refill request to the wrong doctor's office, which is a potential HIPPA violation. I called and spoke to a pharmacist directly about this, and she seemed quite unconcerned. Also, I have gone to this pharmacy after receiving a text that my prescription was ready, waited in a long line, only to be told that my prescription was not ready. The pharmacy techs do not appear to be well trained in the various aspects of handling medications for the public.

This location is tucked away in a small shopping center behind Park Potomac. It's super easy to park at and the staff inside are super friendly. I don't shop for groceries at Walgreens but will stop by to grab discounted paper towels or laundry detergent. Items are always in stock and the lines move very quickly. The photo department is also really nice. I print a few 8x10s here a month since I don't have a printer that does photos that large. The photos are always ready to go and they have a neat notification system that allows you to have other people pick up your order. For a convenience/grocery story it's pretty no frills which is what I look for. If you have a sweet tooth make sure to go the day after Halloween and you can buy candy by the pound.

I always go to Walgreens rather than CVS or Harris Teeter- because the pharmacy service is great. Pharmacists are knowledgeable and service is fast.

Worst pharmacy ever. Pharmacist on duty argued with me regarding an Rx for a schedule II drug. Over and over again stating that the law was that the Rx was expired per the law. Not sure if this person has a current license, need to talk to management, because the law is "A prescription for a Schedule II controlled dangerous substance shall be dispensed within 120 days of the date of issue". The Dr. put a stamp on the Rx that it could not be filled until 2 months it was issued. We are well within the 4months. Don't go here! The pharmacist doesn't can't even interpret basic pharmacy law!

I give this Walgreens a five star rating since the staff really goes out of their way to please their customers. Yes- I have been able to get what I need in a timely fashion, be able to return items with no problem, and to be dealing with courteous sales staff from the moment I walk in the door. I find that this Walgreens being around the corner from my apartment is also conveniently located. Stephanie in cosmetics stays with you and waits on you by letting you know what products are best for your skin type , as well as what is new on the front of skin care. She really knows her stuff. She is always so pleasant. The counter staff are so helpful in checking you through as your time comes up waiting in line. I love the reward points I get and often walk out with having gotten back $5 to $10 off my bill. In closing I know this is a safe, courteous store where I know I will always walk out pleased. Liz S

The store is right inside the shopping mall, not too difficult to find. I went there for just dropping off the package at Fedex counter. However, needed to buy a tape to wrap the box. I went to the counter with my small tiny purchase, however staff over at the counter-he had very big smile. He even offered me to look up my rewards with walgreens by put in my phone number. Just small tiny thing, but I think he done his great job (some store dont provide the services). I got my tape, went back to my car and came back to the store to drop off the box. At Fedex counter, there was nobody. I just waited there for some helps. Then, the same staff helped find someone to help me out! That's awesome. I called this is customer service.
