My son (13 years old ) NEVER goes to the doctor or needs prescriptions.. but we found ourselves at…read morea urgent care and a prescription called to this CVS at 8pm on Labor Day. My first initial interaction was with aliciana and pharmacist Lorrick. They were both VERY kind and accommodating. Lorrick with MORE than helpful as my son's RX insurance numbers weren't working and being rejected. He worked his magic and boom, got it to work. Then when he councled my teenage son, he leaned in and explained the medicine directly to him ( as he is a young man) and I was obviously right there hearing all advice. Anyways, Lorrick you deserve an atta boy! Thanks for making my experience so nice.

If you have 4-6 cars ahead of you, you can guarantee a 40-50 minute wait time sitting in line until you get served. Fast food drive thru's take less time to give you your food! So it begs the question: WTF is taking so long to get your prescription! My wife and I are over this and are thinking we wouldn't mind paying a little more for prescriptions if they take this long. The wait times inside the store are even more atrocious!

I had one of the most degrading experiences I've ever had at a pharmacy at this Rite Aid location…read more The pharmacist looked at me like I was a drug addict or trying to abuse my medication--right in front of a line of customers. It was humiliating, judgmental, and completely uncalled for. What they didn't know was that my original prescription for 1 mg doses was written by my nurse practitioner, and after my condition worsened, my doctor approved an increased dosage. I followed medical advice, nothing more. But instead of treating me with dignity, the pharmacist made assumptions without context and acted like I was doing something shady. Then, when a new prescription was sent in for a lower dose, they only allowed me to pick that up and didn't bother to explain anything. I wasn't even told there was a 1 mg version available. There was zero communication, zero compassion, and a complete lack of professionalism. People's prescriptions often change--doses go up or down depending on medical need--and pharmacists should know better. But the way I was treated made me feel like I was being profiled or criminalized just for following doctor's orders. Honestly, no wonder Rite Aid went bankrupt. This kind of disrespectful and incompetent treatment is exactly why people are taking their business elsewhere.

WHAT HAPPENED? I…read morewent to RA to purchase eye drops, an ace wrap, and a bottle of wine. I don't know what happened to that place. I felt like old Mother Hubbard, so I went to the cupboard and found nothing. When top management makes decisions out of fear, you'll fail.. Case in point: A Sacramento Rite Aid sold liquor to an underage boy and got caught. Instead of management implementing additional safety measures such as educating their sales associates on what to look for, instead they directed all stores to ID everyone from 21 to 100. That my friends is a prime example of poor management. Maybe that's why the cupboards are bare and now one is near...Please close the store and give Gold River residents another choice. We are already dealing with a crappy bel air market.

My husband went to the pharmacy to grab allergy medicine and I got sidetracked by the candy aisle. I ended up getting a variety of different gummy candies including skittles gummies and sweet tart gummies. We also picked up a couple drinks. The staff was friendly and we were able to go through the pharmacy area and the front check out in a quick amount of time. We also found everything we were looking for, plus some.

So I decided to look for an old time pharmacy. To my surprise, none really exist anymore. But I did find one, Vitality Pharmacy in Folsom. I decided to give it a shot, and Im so glad I did. The service here is fantastic. The staff take care and interest in my wellbeing. They fill my prescriptions quickly and send me a text when its ready. I couldn't be happier with my experience here. I drive all the way from Fair Oaks to get my prescriptions filled here, and its well worth it. And, if you dont feel like driving they also offer delivery for a small fee. Highly recommended!

My parents in their late 70's refuse to fill here due to the availability or general service. I've been shopping at Madison since 1995. There are staff that take their job seriously and I appreciate it. I hate change. My sone had his wisdom Tarth out today. I requested that I'd get his medicine at 12:00 pm or after. I'm here now and I guess the entire pharmacy is at lunch. I hope it's a good one. After 41 years it will be the last time I darken this door. Luckily Safeway is across the street and cares.

I wish I had read all the Yelp reviews BEFORE I started sending Rx's to Raleys on Madison…read more I have to travel to Walnut Creek for some of my doctor visits. Yesterday was one of those days. The doctor prescribed my first try at a drug that's prescribed to half of all school kids these days AND its a controlled substance. I asked the doc to send the Rx to Raleys on Madison. When I got back home that afternoon, I went to Raleys to pick up my Rx. On duty at that time were 2 young men ( mid 20's ) dressed in blue scrubs and the pharmacist - an older man wearing a lab coat. One of the minions confirmed my identity and then informed me that because this is a controlled substance and my doctor was "not in the area" that they would not be able to fill my Rx. I asked them to define what "the area" means and they said that Walnut Creek is not in the area and the area means the "general Sacramento area". Well, that makes perfect sense now....NOT. After the pharmacist joined into the conversation that was growing more ridiculous by the second, he suggested I move from Walnut Creek to this area. English was obviously a second language for this trusted and highly qualified health care professional. I explained to him that I live two blocks from here and it is my doctor who is in Walnut Creek....I live here. Vlad didn't seem to understand or care and told me there is nothing he could do. I left the store. I went home and called my doctor. The doc said he'd contact the pharmacy and ask them to cooperate. He also added that these stupid "policies" by some businesses "makes my blood boil".... You and me both, brother! He phoned me back a few minutes later and said that he spoke to Vlad and that I could pick up my Rx but that it's likely I won't be able to use Raley's for subsequent Rx's of this type, again, because of their stupid policy. I rode my bike back over to the pharmacy....did I mention I live 2 blocks away...and Vlad filled my Rx. Never again, Raleys. You've failed me too many times.

First she said the transfer had not been received, when I told her I had been on the phone with the Walgreens when they faxed over the request she changed her story and said she had just received it 15-20 mins prior to me calling and that it takes 2-3 hours to process the transfer. I waited 2 hours to call them to follow up on the transfer from my initial conversation with Walgreens. I have been a longtime CVS customer and had only requested the transfer because the did not have the medication in stock however my two most recent contacts with them have made me rethink that relationship. Moving on to Walgreens.

Sad that this isn't the norm, but I really appreciated it. Thank you!
