Pharmacies in Saratoga Springs, NY

“I have been shopping at Hannaford since they opened in Saratoga. There has always been issues with personnel. Maybe it is just my way of thinking, I was brought up believing in manners, respect, etc. I visited the store a week ago, obeyed the face mask rule, also wore disposable gloves, went the correct way up the aisles. I got a bit confused where to stand in line, been recovering from a stroke and 1st time out by myself in 5 months. Cashier sort of sapped at me where to stand. She could have said it in a nicer tone. Then she started to talk, I couldn't hear, front end manager said "less taking, more working." I was shocked, mad and embarrassed for this cashier. It isn't WHAT she said, but how she said it. Went to Target a few days later and none of this snappiness happened. They seemed happy to see me!”

“We really appreciate the time the pharmacy staff spent on the phone with me to determine the easiest way to administer meds to our cats who didn't want to take them. LOL Cats, gotta love them. The compounded cream was the answer. We are very pleased to have a nearby compounding pharmacy with such a knowledgeable staff. The person I spoke with understood CATS. i did not get an opportunity to spend a lot of time inside the store, but I will do so the next visit. Thank you.”

“Stopped by this price chopper and I have to say it was one of the best kept ones I have seen in a long time. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. Then again everyone in Saratoga seems to be. Definitely a place to visit when in Saratoga.”

“(I lived on Guam for the last 2 years, where nothing gets to the island if not frozen and then boated there so my opinions may be bias. The fruit isn't rotting? You can find fresh milk, AND it's not $10 a gallon? There's more than 1 option for the thing you want? It's heaven.) My go to grocery shopping spot. Large selection, good deals, fresh produce, and usually not very busy. It is annoying that when you have an issue with self checkout there isn't someone there to help right away, you just have to stand and wait but it's not a huge deal ?”

“Rite Aid Ballston Ave Saratoga Springs store has helpful, friendly staff and a wide variety of goods. They were decorating for Christmas (before Thanksgiving?? grrrr) so some aisles were a bit disheveled - but not blocked.Pharmacy and staff are wonderful - knowledgeable, courteous and accommodating.”

“Adam at Walgreens Saratoga Springs NY 12866 is an Excellent employee. When I go to the store, He is always working to the Max. On January 29, 2024 He was working and rang me out at the register. He was as polite and helpful as can be. THANK YOU Adam.”

“Ever since I've been using this pharmacy, I've never been disappointed. Everyone is respectful, professional, and goes out of their way to be of assistance. They are awesome!!”

“Why do I keep forgetting about this Rite Aid location? I've visited several times over the years to pick up random items and it's never too busy, always really clean and it's been easy to find whatever I needed. The store is also very spacious and the staff is always great. And...I'll admit, the candy selection doesn't suck, either. But I want to give a particular shout out to the pharmacist - I believe his name was Steve. I went to this Rite Aid last night for my Covid booster shot. I had my appointment and was in and out within 10 minutes. Steve's "bedside manner" is exceptional! I wish I had my first two jabs here-I didn't even feel the shot last night. My previous two experiences (at a different pharmacy) were administered by someone that was not as gentle, knowledgeable or friendly. There are stuffed animals on the table for people that are nervous/anxious. Steve uses humor to literally make it quick and painless. While I don't have a lot of anxiety around immunizations, a lot of people do. I'd send them to this Rite Aid location and hope that Steve is the one that takes care of them. While I was waiting, I heard some of the chatter from afar in the prescription area-the staff members behind the counter were upbeat, friendly and informative. They were the exact opposite of the folks at the other pharmacy that I went to for my first 2 covid shots. (They were understaffed, overwhelmed and cranky). Why the stark difference? I don't know... but I'm considering moving my prescriptions here if need be (although I don't take any medications).”

“Being that this Walmart is upstate and kinda in the sticks (no offense to the townies) you can expect it to be a lot better than the ones we have on the island! This Walmart is yuuuuge and they've got literally everything here. From what I can, they've got a nail salon, hair salon, auto shop, very big grocery section and so much more. They even sell real guns, which is pretty awesome because to my knowledge the ones by me don't. They have everything you could need and things you never knew you needed. Saratoga is a really cool town and this is probably the largest Walmart I've been to. Super friendly staff too!”

“The walgreens of Saratoga springs is fantastic ! The staff is like family and they treat everyone like that,not just me. There is a wide selection of everything anyone could want. There holiday items are enormous. They have everything from ( can I say ) from soup to nuts !! Wonderful store and the manager is not just a manager but a hard worker for everyone. Keep up the good work people.”

“I don't know who has time to write a negative review so let me go ahead and leave a positive one. This location is clearly understaffed and has been this way for years. The workers deserve higher pay and this alone should boost morale at this location. You have one young boss running around doing everything. He's stocking the shelves, handling check out then sweeping the floors. For what? Minimum wage? Increase pay. Review over.”

“This is a pleasant Walgreens in which to shop. It's brightly lit, the aisles are extremely wide, and the shelves are fairly well stocked. The floors were very clean, which is challenging on days like today when it's wet and slushy outside. The pharmacy area in the back is large, though what few chairs they have are somewhat cramped along one side. There is a customer consultation area behind the pharmacy for things like briefings and vaccinations. The man behind the counter at the register was very friendly. Just be careful if you are backing out of one of the parking spaces from the West Avenue entrance, because that gets a lot of traffic from the customers proceeding to the drive-thru prescription area on the Washington Street side.”

“The pharmacy staff has generally been nice to deal with. Yes, the lines can be long certain times of the day, which can be a pain for customers but is probably taxing on the employees as well.”
