Pharmacies in Issaquah, WA

“I needed some vaccinations the other day... I visited Rite-Aid, and it was crazy, with a long wait for a flu vaccination and an appointment requirement for a COVID-19 vaccination. I searched for other pharmacies nearby and dropped into Medical Center Pharmacy, hoping they could accommodate me. In far less time than the wait I was quoted, they had me vaccinated and on my way, along with a quick discussion about why the pharmacy industry is so messed up. I wish they were closer to me; I'd move all my prescriptions to them. Kind, quick, and I don't leave feeling like I'd had my soul sucked out of me like I do at the national chain pharmacies.”

“I usually love Safeway and we do go to this location a lot but this place really needs to hire more people to help with physically checking people out. My largest all time pet peeve is checking myself out at the grocery store. They almost NEVER have anyone working one of their checkout lines. And on the off chance they do one day, the person is never there and you need to call them over. Another pet peeve is that far too often, sale items do not ring up as such. I feel i need to take a picture of ever sale item so I can show it to someone when i check out, then coupled with the fact no one works the checkout line, i often give up and just pay full price because it is too much of a hassle to call them over. That being said the few people that do work the checkout lines are AMAZING and beyond nice. Especially, the older gentleman that always wears a Canada mask. He is always willing to strike up a conversation and help customers.”

“Good selection but prices rose higher than necessary. Good hours. Customer service is usually great but one experience was extremely unpleasant. That person was just not meant to o be in customer service. I'm a regular shopper at several Freddie's.”

“My husband and I have been using this pharmacy for all of our prescription needs for the past few years and have nothing but praise for them. While yes, things were a little slow during the pandemic height, that's *completely* understandable and they've definitely gotten up-to-speed over the past year and a half so that we barely need to wait for any Rx. They're also incredibly kind and nice to speak to, regardless of who we work with there (any tech or pharmacist).Today we just both got our flu shots and I can't believe how overworked the staff were. Pharmacist Faith and the tech were beyond busy and we saw how customers would come up and complain about things when clearly there was not much else the two staff could do. (4 hands can only do so much at one time). Thank you, Faith, and everyone else there for working as hard as you do to help the community. We appreciate you. (And thank you for the Nemo band-aids, that made my day) ;)”

“I had a very good experience with the staff at the Safeway Highlands pharmacy today. My prescription was in queue and not ready but the staff went out of their way to get it for me when they learned I was out. This Pharmacy took a huge turn when Mihaela became in charge. Kudos to her and her team because they are always professional and empathetic even though they are very busy.”

“I don't get all the negative reviews (most from ages ago) except to say there's a lot of highly affluent and exceptionally entitled people in this area with zero self-awareness. To the negative reviewers: So you had to wait 20 mins for your Rx because you were too impatient to wait for the text message saying it's ready...poor baby...a minor inconvenience of your own making. I've frequented this location and its Pharmacy consistently for the last 3 years (before and after merger with Rite Aid) and not once have I ever experienced anything short of exceptionally friendly, courteous, and prompt service from literally every employee I've encountered. I've been greeted every time I've stepped inside the door ...every time! I can't think of another retailer I can say that about.”

“I have been getting prescriptions here for 20+ years. I have literally never had a problem or a mix up. I live further now as of several years ago, but I still go here for prescriptions because I trust them. They have always served me well and go over new medications with me.”

“I hadn't been to Fred Meyer's in eons, and of course jumped at the chance for a quick shopping trip, and a walk down memory lane. If you haven't had an opportunity to shop at Fred Meyer's, it's a unique shopping experience, that truly needs to be experienced. The store literally has something for everyone. For those of you that might remember the old store called Gemco, they had groceries, furnishings, clothes, toiletries, furniture, and so much more, Fred Meyer's is Gemco on steroids. It's awesome. The grocery store section is filled with anything and everything you can possibly imagine. Literally one stop shopping. I actually found more options and different items at Fred Meyer's than I do in my own local specialty stores. It was pretty amazing. The clothing area is what it is. It's more akin to Walmart, target etc. You're not gonna find your designer dad's here, but you will find reasonably priced basic clothing. The toiletries area is huge! They literally offer almost every type of over the counter/drugstore makeup, toiletry, beauty products than you can imagine. I found products made by certain manufacturers that I never see when I'm home. I probably could've spent forever looking at anything and everything in the store. The furniture area was filled with all sorts of items all reasonably priced, and a great place to shop for a kids room, or when you're looking for inexpensive college dorm items, or you're just trying to stay within a small budget of being able to furnish your own place. They really do have it all. I did not make it over to the jewelry section, and I really should have because once upon a time, Fred Meyers was known for upscale expensive jewelry. They used to carry diamonds that you would only find in high-end specialty stores. I'm curious what type of jewelry they currently offer. Fred Meyers is still a super cool place to shop, and I know that when I walk through the doors I will be able to find anything and everything that I'm looking for.”

“Thank you for being so awesome. I arrived Tuesday to pick up my prescription. It was totally fouled up. 20 minutes later I was out the door with the right stuff. I was impressed how the pharmacist picked up the phone and solved the problem with no hassle.”

“This review is long overdue about a remarkable and stellar human being, Bruce, who is the most beautiful person I have encountered in a very long time.Bruce is someone whom everyone needs in their daily existence~ the sunshine and spirit lifter, without a doubt! He goes unnoticed doing his best to make sure every customer is valued. The world needs to stop and take a page from Bruce’s book of care and compassion while serving others in the public. He’s shy, yet caring, compassionate and diligent, while making sure he gets the customer in and out of the store in a very timely and most polite way. Bruce will go the extra mile to assist a customer even though he’s busy with other duties in the store. He’s so rich in the gifts he possess; ultimately, resulting in the spirit of giving and caring, unconditionally, and is a stellar soul whom I dearly admire and appreciate. To sums up Mr Bruce’s character: he’s“All the flowers of all the tomorrows are in the seeds of today”.I thank you, (on behalf of every customer you serve…) Mr Bruce, for all your diligence and contributions to this lost world of-the-art of customer service and care!You are very much “the flowers [needed] of all the tomorrows….” You make this world a much better place by contributing your gifts and talents with a heart for ALL mankind!”

“Ira had 4 prescriptions and I had 2 prescriptions to pick up today. Michelle was the pharmacist that assisted us. She greeted us with a smile and knew us from being there many times previously. She is efficient, friendly and knowledgeable. She has helped us many times previously, the last time preparing a COVID shot record for both of us because we didn't get all the information on the email we received for them. We appreciate the great service she gives us. Please pass our thanks onto her and her supervisor. Thank you.”

“I have had a long history with many pharmacists in various states.As a customer who has experience of understanding what their job is like with ONLY two people day after day, while running a high-volume pharmacy, I know they are badasses. They are hard workers and focused. They may seem distant because there is a lot on their plate that involves them being concerned with EVERYONE who needs their medication.They may not be able to answer calls because they are working with many customers WHILE carefully filling medications, so that yours may also be filled.Please be mindful of such high volume and the fact these these people work extremely hard all day every day.You guys rock. I wish I was capable of what you do.”

“Most exquisite loo experience if I do say so myself. Jolly good. Bloody lovely time. Cleanest and comfiest loos in the Americas. Might take a trolley to the loos sometime for some afternoon tea time.Pip pip cheerio! x. Queefwell S. Wellington”

“It's a typical Fred Meyer's and that's a good thing. Fred Meyer's is the best all-around grocery store chain in the area. We would probably shop here all the time if we didn't have good options (ie Trader Joe's) that are much closer to us. Fred Meyer's is the place to go to for the best, cheap produce. And they have all of the standard brands, something that is lacking at Trader Joe's. My kids yearn for Oreos and Cheerios and other favorite brands, every once in a while.”

“I took my children here to get their COVID vaccines. The signage and lines were a bit confusing, but the overall friendliness of staff and service were fabulous. I am thankful for this experience for our family.”

“First time I’ve gone there for a vaccination. Shingrex was scheduled. I have a condition which is impacted by that particular shot. Then I find a second is needed about a month later.I was very impressed by the pharmacist’s knowledge of my condition and we chatted about what reactions to expect aside from the normal. Slipped by any abnormal reaction thank goodness.I’ll be going back for #2 when the time comes and schedule an RSV poke there too.”
