Big sign out front Pharmacy 24 hours, so misleading, only the store is open 24 hours. Came in first day, long line of cars in drive thru, burned gas, medication supposed to be filled in 1 hour confirmed by phone, went there and burned all that gas, it was not ready, they said doctor did not fax. Called doctor next day, said faxed last night, came inside store this time, gentleman sitting there waiting, with a hacking cough, no mask, probably just killed us all with his virus, still no medication. Third day, came by again, line was even longer, decided to come in at midnight, so no line, they were not open. read more

This Walgreen Pharmacy in Fremont, Mowry Ave. is really getting worse. I went to pick-up my prescription today at almost 12:00 pm. on the drive thru and waited for more than 30 minutes for the only one car ahead of me and the attendant in the window was able to respond to all the inquiries of the person ahead of me for 30 minutes and when my time is up I was told that my prescription is not ready yet although I told her that I received a message already and didn't ever bother to double check it and it took me less that 10 minutes to get my wife's single prescription that was ready and to my surprise in less than 5 minutes of leaving the window I got a text message as well as an e-mail again that my prescription is ready for pick-up but I'm already 5 miles away from the pharmacy and tried to call them but unfortunately no one's answering the phone for more than an hour so I hanged-up. Their line inside and outside is too long and the operating hours was changed and it's no longer 24 hr. operation and went down to 12 hrs. only, and the service also went so bad. read more

Only go to this place if you have 2+ hours to spare. Horribly under staffed so takes forever. Take your business to a place that cares enough to provide customer service. read more

I've had great service at this location & I've had terrible service. Anthony, I think that's his name, is usually at the photo section. His customer service is awesome! He helped me out with some film that was more than 10 years old! He's always friendly and in a good mood when I've been there. He makes up for the days that I've had not so good service! read more

This is worst pharmacy I have ever been to. If you are in their drive thru , this is an hour project. Every car moves in 15/20 mint . Inside isnt better either. I am working with my doctors to move my prescriptions somewhere else. This one is good example of how a business in a great location can go bad. Manager and staff should be fired read more

Terribly managed pharmacy, couldn't be any worse. Take super long to process and prepare prescriptions and never pick phone calls. Even if you are lucky to get them on phone after hours of waiting, chances are it will still be a waste of time. Visit their store and welcome to another few hrs wasted in their line or drive through. And it's been like this for many years. Efficiency, improvement or feedback aren't their thing. One good alternative, and this place is set for failure. read more

This pharmacy was my go to 4 years ago. I moved back to Fremont, went right back to it and quickly found disappointment. You would think they could fill a prescription how your doctor wants. I wasted 40 minutes waiting for them to fill my 3 month supply only to get 2 one months and half a dosage of the last. I'm going to resign from Walgreens and seek my prescriptions elsewhere. read more

I was really excited to take my daughter who just been seen by her doctor for a really bad ear infection and wait over an hour for her prescription to be filled... Do not bother with the drop off and pick up lines as they mean nothing here. The pharmacist couldn't even get her birthday right. I had to repeat it 5 times. This left me feeling like I was in good hands. After all this I get her prescription and no consult on a new medication! Nice eh? The best part? Wait for it... They didn't even mix her antibiotic. That's right folks I have to go back there! All that being said I did get a complimentary syringe as a parting gift. My advise, avoid this place like the plague. I would rather wait at the Kaiser pharmacy and that my yelpers says heaps about this franchise of a germ infested place. read more

Walgreens - After waiting over an hour, please enjoy your unmixed prescription. - Drugstores Near Me - Fremont, California

Waiting time is too long, we scheduled vaccines waited more than 1 hour. 8 ppl working with two long lines waiting. This is just ridiculous.

The wait for prescriptions is ridiculous now. 2 or so hours spent next door at Panera drinking coffee. They lost my prescription and had to refill it. I had to wait that much longer for the refill. read more

Most infuriating pharmacy. They'll put you on hold for half an hour then the automated system hangs up on you. I've tried calling three times today and it's like no one there knows how to operate a phone. read more

Awful have waited more than an hour both inside and via drive through. Never a good time to pick up meds. Seventh circle of hell. Do better!

Worst pharmacy ever. Doesn't post their revised hours (not 24). I went six times in last few days to try to get my medicine and either they are closed or the line is outrageously slow and long. I was next in line at 9:02 to get antibiotics that I need and they shut the window on me. Ridiculously dirty, awfully run store. It's been days and I haven't been able to get my medicine. Just awful. read more

Wow. The pharmacy department here is like visiting the under budget dmv. Can someone actually walk in here and walk out in 30 minutes for one prescription. The answer is No!!!! What I noticed is how bad their customer service is. No proper management of any kind. Under staffed as always. Computer system for early 2000's there automated call system to alert, for meds ready to be picked up is even worse than scam callers.in the scam callers you at least talk to someone who is Interested in you as customer. At this location you're merely another useless customer who is bound to be here for meds that you are dependent on. If you really need your meds filled and have to have it same day. Don't go here. Don't even bother turning in the drive way. It's worthless. You will regret the time you spent waiting for them To fill your meds. This place is already famous for hiring and promoting a uncertified pharmacist. That's how you know the management is below average. I would love it if the management team wants to Contact me and explain to me how this is an efficient way of running pharmacy. Where customers are Sent back multiple times for information they are responsible for and contacting them To come, only to find out they still won't get full meds until next business day. Go ahead. Explain it. I am looking forward to your email. read more

This has to be the worse pharmacy! I've waited all day (10 hours) for my prescription to be ready and nothing. Now it's ready when the pharmacy is closing in the next 10 mins. Pharmacy states is open 24 hours but that's a lie. So now I'll probably have to wait hours tomorrow in line. Shoot at this point hire me! Unbelievable place. read more

Well. This place is out of some place. It's bad at the store waiting in line for prescription medications to pick up. You only need to wait n line for 2 hrs just to know there is an insurance issue or the particular medications not available. Why would they text you and say medication is ready for then. Ok fine I decided I will call before going there to be sure my medicine is ready. That was another nightmare. I been waiting in the phone over 1 hr for some to answer me. Why is it that take such a long time for Some to answer the phone. I been repeatedly put on hold. Initially the automated voice said I have more than 3 people ahead of me. Then no one but I was still on hold for a longer time. What the hell. These people think we don't have a life, we need to stay on the phone hours to get some one on the phone. I am so sick of hearing " our staff is answering other calls". I was the last one the phone per the last 45 mins. What nonsense. Do they not have enough staff. What kind of management is it that they have. There is no patient satisfaction, I am sure the staff satisfaction is also down the drain. I am still waiting for my medication for 3 days past due now. I wonder when I will get it. I can't even go get it at another pharmacy. Horrible customer service read more

I love this Walgreens because it is 24 hours and I know they pretty much have a good stock of items. The staff is friendly and I really find great deals on their holiday items which gets marked down to 70-80 percent off so I love coming here after summer breaks and Christmas time they also carry a few Asian snacks too read more

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. Stay away from this place. My husband went to pick up two medications that my insurance covered. The guy who was working in the drive thru said it was $120!!! They should already have my medical insurance information. This place needs new management as well as new employees. To top it off my husband waited 3 hrs. I hope something gets resolved soon for patient care. read more

Pharmacy nightmare. Long lines, rude staff. Not enough people behind the counter. Drive-through takes forever too.

I got sick and the doctor sent my prescription here. 24 hours later, I still do NOT a have my prescription! I am signed up for text notifications and have received none. I call, and check the status of my prescription and all it says is "it is being filled". it has been like that for 22 hours! This pharmacy does a *great* job of making patients wait and continue to suffer with their illness. Never using them again! read more

Do not come to this location for COVID vaccine!! Appointments are useless! I had to wait for more than one hour to get my shot. This pharmacy needs to be more organized. read more

Very poor service in the pharmacy department unable to get any help via phone. Always transferred to different places looks like they don't know what they doing there. Can't answer simple question and check what you want. Very very poor customer service read more

I wish there was an option of not giving a star at all. I absolutely hate the wait time for their pharmacy department. I literally waited almost 2 hour on the line just to pick up one prescription despite that my prescription should have been ready 4 hours ago when it was sent by my doctor office. This is absolutely ridiculous. Something has to change here soon. This is unacceptable!!! read more

24 Hours... can't beat that! I love the fact that you can go at any time, day or night, to get whatever necessities you need. The store, at least when I've been there, has been well stocked and I've noticed they're getting a lot more organic beauty products that I once could only find at Whole Foods. Fabulous neighborhood drugstore. read more

My advice would be to avoid this branch of walgreens if you are looking to get your prescription filled. This is the second time I've tried to fill a prescription. The first time , even though I called ahead and they told me the the prescription was ready I had to wait over an hour in line to get it. The reason for this was because there was only one person on the counter. Ok, so they were having a bad day I thought, I'll give them another chance. Sorry I did. This time I called ahead as usual, it took ages for them to answer the phone. I used the drive - in. It was a disaster, long lines again and when I got to the window it turns out only half of the prescription was filled, so I had to go thru the whole process again. That's the last time they'll be seeing me read more

Please someone open another pharmacy with late hours for those of us that work ! Doesn't matter inside or out, long lines. I just waited in line from 10:30 pm to 11:15 in a drive through pharmacy line and not one car moved. The car in front of me gave up after 40 minutes and I gave up at 45. We've tried to pick up this prescription for two weeks and it's necessary and we will still have to got back and brave the line again. Getting a prescription filled at this pharmacy is so painful on the customer. They also don't pick up the phone, so no idea what the hold up is. Sooo frustrating ! read more

They always have 1 cashier ringing up a bunch of people at the front, and the cashier working at the photo section is super grumpy. The people at the pharmacy are just monotone, and are either bored or hate their job. I've called in a refill using their automated system and it never goes through, or never gets refilled. I've had to call and speak with someone or go down there and get the refill. Parking lot is hell. It can actually be scary getting to your car when it's dark...I spotted a creepy looking man just loitering between cars and had to go back into the store for a while. There usually was a security guard at the door, but of course he was nowhere to be seen when the creepy guy was loitering in the parking lot. I decided to just get my prescriptions done at Rite-Aid. read more

After a bad experience here I talked to the manager and had the problem solved. He was very courteous and was willing to make things right, and he apologized for what happened saying they were supposed to contact me that their machine was broken. read more

This rating is just for pharmacy. They are low on staff. Pick up line has at minimum 15 people in the line during evenings. The line moves at a low pace, be prepared to stand at least 40 minutes in the queue before your turn arrives. @walgreens- increase the pharmacy staff during the peak hours and take required steps to make your service more efficient and helpful for people. read more

Worst pharmacy in Fremont. Doctor put in post op pain med at 2:30 pm prior to my procedure. Goes to pick it up at 10 pm and told to come back in 2 hours. That is 2 hours that a patient is in pain. Tried filing a complaint on the Walgreens website and it mysteriously will not let you submit the form so obviously Walgreens as a corporation does not value any input from their customers. read more

DO NOT GET YOUR RX'S HERE! This store is the worst I have ever experienced. From what I see here on yelp they (Walgreens) are all the same, bad! Incredibly poor service and never have what you need in stock. We spent a week going back and forth waiting for an RX to come in to have them tell me when I finally went to pick it up that according to the computer they DIDN'T have it, and this is after waiting at least 15 min in line! We had even called ahead to confirm it was there not to waste time. I would not leave until the sales associate went to double check the stock. Turns out they did have it and I was told it just came in...I don't think so. read more

Absolutely the worst service ever! I waited 1 hr 20 min in line to get a new prescription for my elderly mom who had been discharged from the hospital and needed her medicine! I tried calling to even see if the meds were ready and no one would answer the phone! This was the most chaotic, inefficient service I have ever witnessed. I will have my mother change pharmacies. DO NOT tell your doctor to prescribe here! read more

The cashiers are very helpful. Ovi and Lisa always have a smile on their face and always ask how my day is. I like this Walgreens because it is larger and more organized than others that I have been to. However the store managers are not as friendly and helpful. I purchased a few items that should have allowed me to get points. However after looking at the receipt I did not automatically get my points. Later that day I went back and talked to Gene and another store manager. I showed them the proof that I should have received points at my purchase. They told me to call customer service instead, I asked why is that when before this has happened and the cashiers were more than helpful to give me my points. The other store manager " the company doesn't want us to handle things like this" and Gene advised me to wait until tomorrow to call customer service back to see if they can help me. And if not to come back to the store and talk to the store manager in the morning. I graduated with a Hospitality degree and this situation could have been handled with higher expectations. read more

UPDATE: switched to CVS on Mowry & "magically" they are able to refill my prescriptions without the hassle and headache that go along with Walgreens's TERRIBLE customer service. Asked my dad to pick up my prescription on his way home so I didn't have to go through the hassle of making a trip myself. Walgreens told him prescription was not ready because I didn't answer required questions to receive refill. Only thing is I had already filled out all said questions earlier today. This exact same thing happened last time I tried to pick up this prescription and the lady was like, "oh here it is," (approval of clearance because all required steps had been completed). The workers here are so incompetent. I wish zero stars could be given as a review, they seriously don't even deserve the one. I put up with them for this long because their location is convenient, but for my next refill I'm finally switching to CVS. read more

This is the only pharmacy in town that is open 24/7, which is the only reason I go there. When I have the option, I will absolutely go anywhere else. The pharmacy line is always 40 plus minutes long. And if you think the drive thru is better, it is not. The team must be over worked or u fee trained, but they simply don't care. My last order with them was not filled when I picked it up several hours after the medicine was ordered. When I picked it up they first told me the order had not been placed. After looking into it (because I pressed them and knew the doctor had placed the order), they finally told me that the prescription was not filled because my insurance would not cover it. I needed the medicine so I paid for it out of pocket. You think they'd call to find out if the customer wanted the order placed or canceled without making assumptions? Hoping their landlord considers other pharmacies next time their contract is up for renewal. read more

Junk. Pharmacy wait is long. Even giving the prescription took 15 mins while the dude was wandering back and forth from computer. They need more people. Guess he should have been off 20 mins ago and was complaining to someone else to finish the transaction cuz he wanted to leave. read more
