Safeway Pharmacy

This place is terrible. If you take a controlled substance or something that you need to get refilled in a timely manner DO NOT GO HERE. I have had them blatantly lie to me about not receiving orders from my doctor when I had the receipt. Most of the time they won’t have something in stock either and it will take about a week to fill it.

Cole is amazing! I got my covid vaccine from him and he was so kind and professional. 10/10 I would get shot up by him again.

I had a bit of a wait but everybody was so helpful! I was having difficulties with billing my insurance but they were totally committed to figuring it out and working within my means. Thanks so much to the entire pharmacy team! I did not get all of their names but the pharmacist was Lara and she was great.

The pharmacists and techs are helpful even when there’s a long line and you can tell they’re having an exhausting shift. Meds got filled within 6 hours of a doc sending them over. Make sure you book an appointment for vaccines/shots to guarantee availability of a pharmacist. If you’re a Mines student, this is definitely the closest pharmacy. The Telehealth option from the health center can write scripts directly to Safeway’s pharmacy which is convenient. I think the campus health center can also send prescriptions to be filled here.

We had to change insurance companies at the beginning of the year. We had a prescription called in a few months ago and the doctor said they called it in but the pharmacy said they never received it. Honestly, we assumed it was the doctor that didn’t call it in. But—we’ve now changed insurance companies and doctors and the prescription didn’t show up again. The common denominator—this pharmacy. We are tired of standing in line to find out our meds aren’t filled. There seems to be a glitch in the system. Luckily, this time, wasn’t anything major (inhaler) but the first time, my husband was really sick and needed cold medicine.
