I am so happy to have Horsnyders in this county. The staff is TOP KNOTCH - they are so…read moreknowledgeable & helpful. I went in yesterday to get a brace for my elderly father - I am SO grateful for Annah and Vicki - my goodness! They did so much to make sure it was going to work out right for my dad. Thanks to the owner and/or manager of this store for attracting the right type of employees to compassionately care for the customers - and thanks to Vicki and Annah for being such attentive, patient and knowledgeable people! You are honoring people like my dad each day when you show that type of kindness.

I feel I should update my review because I was in a lot of pain when I wrote the original (though I…read moremaintain that I was in pain on account of Horsnyder's policies.) First, they get a star for being the only locally owned pharmacy near me. There's simply no way I'm going to target or walgreeens, so Horsnyder's is where I'm at, like it or not. I'll give another star because the pharmacist personally intervened in my case and helped make sure I would be able to get my doses on time. I still think this special treatment shouldn't be necessary and recognize it's not the same service others are getting. The thing that really makes me mad is the way they invalidate prescriptions after 1 year with no warning whatsoever. It doesn't matter if your bottle reads "10 of 12 refills remaining," if the prescription is more than a year old they will cancel it and not tell you. When I complained about this, they told me I should track it on my end and simply note when I make my annual doctor visit. I feel a good pharmacy would track that themselves, and warn you that a prescription renewal was imminent so that you don't miss doses. In many ways I feel this is a pharmacy not well set up for sick people. I don't go to the doctor annually; I'm constantly in and out of there. I have 4 prescriptions at Horsnyders that I need to constantly babysit to make sure they don't run out or expire. It still feels like I'm having to put in way too much work to be one of their customers. Please, Horsnyders, figure out how to track when these prescriptions are expiring so that your sick patients are not missing doses.

I generally am satisfied , especially with those at the desk. However, if you get into any trouble…read moreand need a higher up, customer service is horrible and it takes many phone calls or is impossible to get the damage undone. They blame the doctor!!! I'm sorry, even I can see that CVS made the mistake, same prescription and they fill it differently. Rules may change but, if so, they should explain it, but not blame the customers and doctor and argue about it. Do they have a responsible higher up, a "manager". Yes, but he told me he would follow up to tell my doctor what was needed and never contacted him. News alert! my doctor is busier than you are and has people's lives in his hands. Yes, you have peoples lives in your hands also, but you don't act like it. I am talking about a specific incident but it continues to happen too frequently. Same story, lack of communication and blaming the doctor! If they talk to the doctor they probably blame the patient. I also notice that getting questions answered when you have questions about how to take a medication or side effects sometimes is good sometimes not. Why should I trust it then? The greatest thing is the location and hours.

The problem is this store is way too short-staffed. I had a product I needed to get that was behind…read morea glass case. I pressed the button for a staff member to come by and open the case. Nobody came. I waited, pressed it another three times. In all cases, an announcement went over the intercom that service was needed in that aisle. Nobody came. I stood around for about 10 minutes, then I decided to get an adjacent product and leave the aisle. I get that those cases are there to deter shoplifters, but staff need to be more responsive when someone requests the case be opened. Waiting around for 10 minutes is unacceptable.

Thanks Viviana great customers service, relating to and taking effort time to make guests feel…read morewelcome. Thanks to the Pharmacy Dept for their patience. I know they're busy, but they are patient with me even though I have disabilities and severe memory issues. Thank you to Katailee also, helping me at Pharmacy. I kept forgetting to bring what I needed and ended up in line over 3 times over two days, and she helped me get what I needed despite my memory issues.

This Walgreens location needs serious improvement. Outside, it reeks of urine from the homeless…read morethat loiter in the area. Inside, it's just as frustrating. The photo area is always unmanned-- I end up standing there for several minutes before having to track someone down. Customer service is hit or miss, and the checkout lanes remain crowded together with little regard for spacing. My most recent experience was especially frustrating. I stopped in quickly on my way to an event to purchase deodorant, only to find that the barcode wouldn't scan. A passing employee confirmed there was no price in the system at all. After already waiting in line several minutes, this was the final straw-- I left without making a purchase. For such a common item not to even appear in inventory shows a lack of organization and attention to detail. This store gives the impression of being poorly managed and not customer-focused.
