Tahoe Forest Pharmacy

The most unfriendly and unhelpful pharmacy staff I have ever encountered. Bad attitudes all the way around.

I’m writing to express my disappointment regarding my recent experience when checking on the status of my prescription. When I approached an available counter to speak with the technician, I was abruptly told to “stand back” — the tone was harsh and unprofessional. I wasn’t invading anyone’s space, simply trying to get help. After seeing my primary care doctor upstairs, I learned the prescription had been sent in a way the pharmacy couldn’t fill due to being out of 10mg tablets. I even suggested a workaround — splitting 20mg tablets, as I’ve done before — only to be met with eye-rolls and exasperated looks.

My prescriptions were called in and I went to pick it up. They said it would be up to 45 minutes to have it ready when I arrived. Nearly an hour goes by and I check to see the status.

They said to wait another 15 minutes in the waiting room and they’ll come out to get me when it’s ready. 35 more minutes pass and I go it to find it was already ready but they never bothered to tell me.
