Walgreens

Great experience at the healthcare clinic. The nurse practitioner was informative and very professional. I expect to use the clinic again in the future.

Just your typical everyday Walgreen honestly there was nothing that really set this place apart from any others. The selection of things for a pharmacy was really good and they weren’t crazily over priced. The staff was friendly and quick to get you in and out I cant say anything about the pharmacy in particular as I came to use it as a convenient store but none the less open late and perfect when you need to grab stuff.

I visited the healthcare clinic for a flu shot
On a weekday morning. I had an appointment, and the check in is easy and comprehensive. I was 20 minutes early but was seen right away. I was treated with respect and given clear answers to any questions I had. They were quick and efficient but I did not feel rushed, but rather taken care of. Although it’s 15 minutes from where I live, it was definitely worth the trip!

Complete waste of my time. Signed up online and scheduled my appointment. It took an hour and a half to be seen by the nurse, during which time at least three walk ins were placed ahead of me. It was maddening to watch my name at the top of the list as each of the new arrivals replaced it. Afterwards the nurse said my insurance wasn’t accepted and then refused to let me pay out of pocket for a simple test. This visit wasted almost two hours of my time for absolutely nothing. After this visit I’ll be at CVS, probably to help lower my new high blood pressure!

WRITER’S NOTE: This is a review of the Walgreen’s Healthcare Clinic at the Westmont, NJ location.
HORRIBLE. PLEASE avoid this Walgreen’s clinic at all costs!!!
Patients and I had a horrible experience back on the afternoon of 3÷14÷2014.
1. The clinic had only one nurse practitioner.
2. Each person had to wait 60 – 90 minutes to finally see someone.
3. The nurse was mad nasty to me. I was supposed to get a chloresterol screening and she was very irate when I didn’t give her the paperwork. When I asked if she provided any paperwork, she said no. I had to get them the website. After that tense exchange, I was turned down and forced to leave…
When I went to the Walgreen’s website, there was no paperwork to fill. How was I supposed to know?!?
I will never forget what that nurse said stuff to me…
«Oh Jesus… Are you serious?»
(What the nurse said after I told her I needed a chloresterol screening.)
«**Sighs** What a bunch of jackasses…»
(What the nurse said after I said that there was no paperwork for me to find and sign.)
If you’re in the Haddon Township, Westmont or Collingswood area needing some care or screening, please check out other urgent care places or visit an ER.

I used to live one block away, but had only visited for the RedBox before this past week. I’m a CVS-​person. That exists.
Stopped in on a candy mission (not for me!) the other night. Aside from being really tired and thus not being able to figure out what door was the entrance door compared to the exit door (…), the experience was quite fine and drug-​store-​like. As in, I found the candy, paid, and left.
The parking lot is a bear. Good luck exiting if you’re leaving during active town hours. Unless you’re making a right — in which case you’re fine. But you’re probably not making a right, as goes life.

Made an appointment due to the convenient location. That was the only convenience afforded to me. Despite checking in early, health care provider never left the office, and at no time did anyone let me know that they saw that I had arrived, and that I was to wait. A half hour after my appointment time, I left without ever being acknowledged. I called Walgreens customer service number, and was scolded, because «everyone knows you have to wait to see a doctor» — confusing, because the hold message told me that I should go to Walgreens instead of my doctor’s office because it’s quicker and more convenient.
If you value your time, I suggest you go someplace else that understands the purpose of an appointment.

This is a fairly quiet Walgreens, hence one of the reasons I like coming here. I generally purchase all my travel necessities here, but the pharmacy is also very good. The pharmacists are very personable and available to answer questions/​concerns about prescription and over-​the-​counter medications quickly. I’ve never had to wait in line to see a pharmacist here, which is a big plus! During my visits, it has not been busy which results in a quick check out experience.

Last Spring I was going to buy milk at Walgreen’s and Hot Cross Buns across the street at McMillian’s bakery. I parked in Walgreen’s lot. A gallon on milk is a lot heavier than Hot Cross Buns so I started to go to McMillan’s first.
They hired a professional harasser. As I was waiting to cross the street I heard. «Hey You!» in an arrogant condescending tone. I ignored it. He got into my face yelling «I wuz talkin’ tuh ya». I replied that I don’t respond to that tone and assured him that I was not his dog. «Get your car out of this lot». Notice that his tactic was immediately in-​your-​face rather than asking what I was doing. They hire a minimum wage thug to assault people. Would you patronize this store?

This is a very clean, well-​kept, organized, and centrally located Walgreens, which is a nice welcoming change from the norm. The two major downfalls of this location is the parking lot (just not easy to get out of the lot — be careful, and be prepared to wait awhile to get out), and the unfortunate fact that the pharmacy is frequently out of certain medications. They don’t really have the authority or knowledge to let people know when the out-​of-​stock medications will be in, so it’s just a guessing game, and it’s quite frustrating. Unfortunately, certain of the pharmacists won’t even call around to other locations to see if the medication is available there, unless you specifically ask them to. It is not exactly convenient for me to have to go to many different drugstores to have a prescription filled, but there’s really no other choice sometimes.

Still a chain drugstore, but the drive through pharmacy can be a big convenience, especially if it is at night and you’re trying to do a bunch of errands.
I also believe the store is 24×7, so if you need to run out in the middle of the night for something, it’s central and close. Plus, for some of the staples that they might not have food wise, you can get at the Wawa across the street.

So after my zero star experience at Rite Aid in Collingswood I had to find a new place to gather all the stuff to fill my new apothecary jars I bought at the Container Store. Walgreens has an excellent selection of just about everything you need from a drug store, though I wish they had more american crew products. The two for one vitamin/​supplement sales are also a boon.
The fact that it’s also across the street from McMillan’s Bakery is an added incentive for running those errands!
