Apparently this is the busiest Walgreens Pharmacy in Denver. I'd believe it. There is always a line! The frustrating part is that if you have an appointment for a vaccine, you must still wait in that line, which often checks you in well after your scheduled appointment time. They should have a separate check in area, however, I doubt they have the pharmacy staff to accommodate the need. The rest of the store is relatively tame, and generally has products in stock (though no one has been immune during the supply chain shortages post-covid). There is a large parking lot which is easy to enter from Colorado Blvd, Alameda, or the shopping center. Staff are generally friendly and easy to find throughout the store. There is one lady in the skin care area who is particularly helpful, should you have questions about face lotions. Photos are printed pretty expeditiously, which is nice, but rarely is someone ever behind the counter to get them for you. There is often only one person at the cash registers, so a line to check out can form quickly. That's sort of the theme to this store: hurry up and wait. It would be nice if they could implement self-check outs, faster check ins at the pharmacy, and less waiting at the photo department for help. read more

They never answer their phone. BOTH my doctor called and I called multiple times. Their automated system put me on hold for 15 minutes and they refused to answer. I heard them pick up and brief snippets of conversation and they just put me on hold without speaking to me. I know for a fact my doctor called in a prescription that they said they didn't receive. Never EVER come here. read more

I tried to pick up my prescription and was told it was too early and to come back in 10 days. That made sense, so that's what I did. Ten days later, the staff said to come in, and it would be filled within 45 minutes. When I showed up later that day, the pharmacist refused to fill it until he spoke with my doctor. That was fine, although highly inconvenient to travel to the pharmacy twice to pick up my prescription, only to be told they would not do it after I arrived. I asked if they could give me a date to pick up the medication, and if it was two or three weeks out, that's fine, and I'll come back at that time. I was then told, for the first time in this 2-week debacle, that the DEA flagged the refill, which is why they need to speak with my doctor. That seemed reasonable, in general, but unbelievable in this case. They never mentioned it before despite my inquiries. My doctor did not believe that and sent the order to CVS. CVS filled the medication within 45 minutes. No DEA flag, which would have shown up in their system if it were true. Evidently, the pharmacist lied to my face about something as significant as the DEA flagging a medication. In sum, the pharmacist accused me of doing something nefarious, misled me multiple times by telling me to pick up my medication and then refusing to fill it after I arrived at the pharmacy, and worst of all, lied to my face about the DEA flagging it. Moreover, they made little to no effort to reach my doctor, and their inefficient system, with no line for medical providers (which is inexplicable), made it impossible for my doctor to reach them without waiting on hold for 20 or 30 minutes. I know of two pharmacists at this location. One of them, the white male, is dishonest and offensive. He lied to me when he could have filled the prescription or given me a later date at which time he would have been willing to do so. He refused to call my doctor when I asked him to reach out one more time to resolve the situation. I am not concerned about his refusal to fill the prescription. He probably felt he was doing his job. However, at a minimum, a patient should expect honesty and respect rather than dishonesty and false accusations. read more

I went to pick up my wife's prescription that she needed. I got there and was told it would not be available until Monday at 2 pm. I drove home. My wife then called and finally got someone on the phone. They checked and said it was now available. When asked why she did not check before, she was unable to explain. This is why people hate big companies. read more

I needed to print photos at walgreens, very few stores have onsite equipment anymore. Laela, the Walgeens employee, got me started and answered all my questions and I had my photos in minutes !!!! Excellent customer service. I will be back. read more

Walgreens - a car parked in front of a pharmacy - Drugstores Near Me - Glendale, Colorado

Very long wait for me and everyone in front of me. And there was only two people in front of me. I can only assume that the people ahead of me had the same issue as I did. My prescription was not ready but I ordered my refill 4 days prior. And my prescription is rather benign, sealed in a box prepackaged. The very kind hard-working cashier saw my order in the system and she said that they had it in stock, but not ready and I had to wait another 15 minutes which I could not do so I have to drive over there again tomorrow. I assume the pharmacist is not working efficiently or is overworked. But for a while, they had a remarkably efficient pharmacist there. Not sure what happened to her, but I wish you would come back read more

Place is a joke Pharmacy runs on their time and agenda only, doesn't care about their patients and their needs. read more

Never anyone to help and the cashier is rude Customer service is obviously not a priority read more

The pharmacy never answers the phone and my prescriptions are often late. If you can avoid this location I would.

This place sucks!!!! I was on hold for 20 mins and the employees would answer the phone and then hang up on me on purpose 10 times. Their dive thru is always closed because of staffing shortages, ummm maybe pay your employees more?? Then you go inside to wait in line behind 20 people for your prescription. And once again don't bother calling to transfer a prescription or order a refill in case you threw away your bottle on accident because they will never answer. Welcome to the new America where customer service is a charm and people no longer work. read more

I had been getting my prescriptions at Walgreens for over 10 years and recently started using this location when I moved. They gave me 3 months of the wrong prescription (I assumed it was a different generic as they had switched me twice). Once I got ill a few days later I returned with the prescriptions and the pharmacist was extremely rude. She said they couldn't take the prescriptions back but would speak over me when I even asked her how that could be a different prescription if every month for the last 9 months I had been using another. She cut me off and said I had to call my doctor if I wanted something different and that she wouldn't take the prescriptions back even to dispose of them. Luckily CVS was able to sort it out with my doctor and my insurance and were appalled at hearing Walgreens wouldn't help me read more

It takes 30-45 min to get your RX when you arrive even if the app notifies you your medication is ready for pickup. The drive thru line is always 7+ cars long! If you go inside, there are always 6+ customers milling about, no line, and no way of obtaining your medication without awkwardly approaching the counter and being told to "wait in line." What line??? Walgreens has gone downhill over the past 5 years - I'm surprised they aren't out of business yet. It will come, though. When you treat your employees that poorly and disregard the customer experience to that extent, eventually you will go out of business. Good luck, as I doubt you'll take this review seriously. PS: I'm so sorry to all of the employees working there. It's clear you're understaffed and suffering. I'm sure you'd make the experience better if you could, but burnout is real, and it's clear Walgreens does not care. Thanks for showing up anyways. read more

Never has prescription in stock, ever. Always a ridiculous fiasco, glad I did t wait in the 11 deep drive though to find out, I only had to wait on hold for 15 min instead. I hate this place. read more

This is the nicest Walgreens I have ever visited. There's easy access to the building from all sides, a large parking lot, and lots of wide handicap spaces. The store is scrupulously clean with well-stocked and meticulously arranged shelves. The lighting is bright and the aisles are wide. The staff was extremely friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. I had a great experience. read more

See all

Mom had transferred her prescriptions to Walgreens. She kept calling to see when they'd be filled. They kept giving excuses, then she found out they'd sent them to Arizona for refills. We don't live in Arizona and NEVER HAVE! We live in Colorado . Mom was without her DAILY meds for 6 weeks. Some of those meds were for Asthma (inhaler), hypothyroidism, blood pressure and potassium. Her body did NOT react well without her meds, but because they'd already called them into her insurance agency they couldn't get refilled somewhere else so she could them. Will NEVER shop at a Walgreens ever again. read more

I have been a Walgreens customer for about 15 years mostly because of its proximity to where I used to live. Today, I finally decided to move on. It is not about one or two issues, it is about almost every single interaction I have had with them over the years - business or personal, such as asking if I could use their restroom. My doctor's office told me they would prefer not doing business with them at all. Everybody I have talked to (at the branch close to our address) was either rude, arrogant, or incompetent. I should have left long time ago. read more

The woman who helped me had a very bad attitude. The last time time I picked up my medicine this other lady saved a discount coupon on my account, which she said I could use for next time. So, I went to pick up my refill today, and this other lady wouldn't even look at my account for the coupon. She said, Do you want to the medicine or not? I will just get my medicine from Safeway from now on. I had to pay $30 more. read more

It's absolutely impossible to get through to their pharmacy. They never answer and keep you on hold without ever getting an answer.

The pharmacy line is extremely slow, in-store or drive-through. Always take at least 30 minutes waiting in line to pickup. Walgreens - please recognize that your customers' time is valuable and consider changing something to get customers through in a timely manner. read more

The wait time to pick up a prescription is crazy! I have been here for 20 minutes and I'm still 5th in line! They have one person handling prescriptions pick up and consultation. read more

I had been going here for years but no longer. The staff is rude, short and a pharmacist actually hung up on me before I finished my question. Plenty of other pharmacies out there. I was a cask pay customer with very expensive meds. Not that I matter there, clearly. read more

Terrible. Painful. Drive thru for Rx closed. Line inside over 20 minutes. Terrible management if they can't have enough pharmacists on staff. Go anywhere else. read more

Wait time for the pharmacy to pick up a simple prescription is about an hour. Always understaffed, I do t get it? What is the pharmacy manager doing? read more

Nice people at the pharmacy but absolutely the worst place to get a prescription. The wait in the drive thru is forever. You have to use the drive thru bc the indoor counter is closed. Perhaps they should pay more so that they can find more help? My last visit. read more

I have no issues with pharmacy, but have had 3 different episodes with other staff in the past 3 months. 1. I asked the location of an item and was told, "against the blue wall." There are 4 blue walls. 2. Again, asked for location and she was bringing me to the area, but then yelled because I was following too close. This really wasn't that bad, considering today's world. 3. Today, I went to the card department where a clerk was making a display. I asked if they had a specific type of Christmas card and first she said no, then said "right here"..in front of where she was working. She then literally took her supplies and threw them down the aisle! I walked out of the store! read more

I'm not one to write reviews but this is easily the worst Walgreens I've been to in my life. Zero communication from the pharmacy, always short staffed and closed for days when you desperately need a prescription. read more

Why make an appt for a vaccine and then have to stand in the general pharmacy line? Maddening and terribly inefficient. Waiting for 15 minutes and still three people in front of me. One more company that needs help from chick fil a on efficiency read more

This was my third Walgreens of the day trying to get my medication. The line was long and it was clear everyone was very impatient. The man who was working in the pharmacy greeted me with a smile. His name tag clearly states he didn't even work in the pharmacy normally and was just trying to help out. He was kind and efficient and made a stressful experience a little better. It's tough times for anyone out there and I appreciated that he was kind and got me out of there as fast as he could read more

Well, after posting that review on May 3, I went back to Walgreens the next day. They were closed during business hours! The entire store was closed. There was a sign that said they were closed because of some kind of technical difficulties. This place is remarkably inept. I switched my prescription to another pharmacy and have never been back. Avoid this place. read more

Today, I had a Covid-19 rapid test scheduled for 1pm. I arrived sharply at 1, and patiently waited in the drive through pharmacy line for 26 minutes (which seems extremely slow given there were only 3 cars ahead of me.) When it was finally my turn, I told the woman that I was there for my Covid 19 rapid test, and assured her that I was on time, but had been waiting in the line. She was beyond rude and replied that, "the test can no longer be completed because we leave for lunch in 7 minutes, and why didn't you call when you got here?! You aren't supposed to be in this line!" I still cannot get over how obnoxiously rude this woman was. I mustard enough strength to get myself out of bed with a fever, and drive to my scheduled appointment, only to wait for nearly 30 minutes to be berated and turned away. I explained to the woman that everything she was telling me, was NOT mentioned in the email. The email clearly stated to GO THROUGH THE PHARMACY DRIVE THROUGH, and in NOWHERE in that email does it say to call first. She replied by saying, "well, it isn't supposed to say that anymore and we're going to lunch, so come back at 2." No apologies for the pharmacy clearly making a huge mistake. After this, I will never return to the Walgreens again. read more

Walgreens - a phone screen with a text message - Drugstores Near Me - Glendale, Colorado

five stars for Madeline you are awesome love you have a great atitude and a wonderfully friendly approachable personality, even when your co-worker who's name I didnt catch was in line behind us tapping her fingers glaring making snarky rude comments and pushing you to hurry when a pos error that is out of your control happened you kept your cool and remained 100% friendly to the evil, blonde, pinch faced shrew who worked the pharmacy and caused the anxiety in my checkout experience, I don't give 2 sh*ts if you're off the clock and in a hurry. I am too . I too had a long day. It doesn't give you any right to crap out your sh*tty aditude all over paying customers. you're wanting to "get the line moving"??? go ahead and step out of the way so the next person in line can move up. don't you dare make me feel like because there was a system issue and because I had to take literally FIVE SECONDS to load money onto my damn card that I am a nuisance or I am unwelcome or that I need to hurry up. sit down and remember to represent the company you work for before you come up on the wrong person with your negative bullshit. ew. read more

Pharmacy is the slowest I've ever been to. Been coming here for a few months hoping it'll be quicker each time and that my previous experiences were a fluke. I've tried waiting in the store and using the drive through. Usually only a line of 2-3 cars or 4-5 people inside. Still always takes 40+ minutes. There seems to be no sense of urgency from the staff. It's bizarre. read more

Nothing poor to comment about the physical building. But the employees inside of these walls are less friendly and less competent than those at the DMV. read more

I came in for skincare products. The lovely and knowledgeable Ari was sweet, more than helpful, and made someone previously buying exclusively profesional skin care, feel comfortable finding quality products that suited my routine and skin type and she saved me some money while she was at it :) P.S. AND samples?! read more

Several time employees at the pharmacy counter were rude. But this last time will be the last. I called last week to get all my prescriptions refilled, left on a plane to find out they had forgotten to give me one medication. I will go and pick it up today. Which is not convenient. But the least convenient is that I will now have to go on the 24th of every month AND the 2nd to get that stray medication because they will not fix their mistake. All I was told is that I should have taken the name of the rude person I spoke to a week ago, to hold them accountable. AnS that I can wait without that medication until the 24th of I want hem to refill all at the same time. Great service !!! Needless to say they have lost thousands of dollars a month because I'll go somewhere else from now on. read more

Do not get your prescriptions filled from here. They are SO slow and incompetent. Every time I go in there's always something that goes wrong at the pharmacy. Get it together guys. read more

This is a poor business as the staff does not care about their customers. They ignore them when they are wiring for services and then act like we are bothering them after waiting for over a half hour. They don't care. They just want to get paid and not work including the shift leader, Laura. Yet she is the only one that knew anything. She was not excited to help though. The remainder of the staff was not knowledgeable nor helpful with finding anything in the store which I had to try to notify someone else to to find it or ask someone else but there is no one to ask! read more

AWFUL customer service. I would never recommend this pharmacy to anyone. First off, they gave me a different prescription than the listed name I always refill with. When I picked up the prescription, they failed to tell me of this change so when I go to finally use it two weeks later, it is not the same. I call that night to let them know of this issue, and the lady on the phone tells me to come in the next morning to take care of this change so I can refill it at a different pharmacy. After going in, they rudely told me there is nothing they can do. So not one, but two employees did their job incorrectly, which has now costed me $100 unnecessary dollars and a headache. All in all, steer clear of this place if you want good customer service, correct prescriptions and pharmacists that actually care about your health issues. read more

My girlfriend and I went in to get makeup and tissues. We were in there for about 5 minutes while I picked out foundation. While looking at it, the manager I'd assume, an older man...walked up to us and said "you ladies need to leave." I looked at him and said "us? Um, why?" And he responded with "you ladies need to leave." I put my foundation back and we walked out, having only been in the store for five minutes. Not quite sure what the reasoning was behind it but, I'd really hate to think it was homophobia in any manner. read more

As I ponder how to rate a Walgreens I think to myself what keeps me coming back time and time again. 1. Convenience - this one is located conveniently on Colorado Blvd. and is the closest one to Cherry Creek. The private parking lot is well laid out and easy to get in and out of even during peek times. 2. Well Stocked - I have a handful of items I always purchase at Walgreens and the shelves are always stocked with my brand. 3. Friendly Staff - Everyone here appears to be happy and I often have someone ask if I need assistance finding anything and every once and awhile I do take them up on this offer. I find this Walgreens to be one of the better ones in town and it will soon become the closest Walgreens for me to shop. read more
