Walgreens

I went in on Sunday Mother’s Day at 5:40 pm to get my citalopram refill. The Dr hadn’t sent in an approval for the refill yet but the pharmacist gave me an emergency 3 day supply. I am so pleased with this service.

Upon picking up my photo order (which was supposed to be ready in 1 hr) apparently could not be found.
With only one photo machine I had to wait for clerk to retrieve my photo as the original print could not be found.
I have a 5 in this review as I wanted to complement and make known to the supervisor that a FINE young man, named Tim, tried his best to help me and apologized for the trouble. He wouldn't just stand there and let the others work. Then when I was looking for batteries, there he was again looking to be as helpful as can be in helping me find the correct battery. Tim is a tribute and an honor to see a boy his age to be doing such a fine and concerned effort in his job.

Absolutely amazing staff and pharmacists. They are super friendly and their service is 5 stars. Both pharmacists (Raven and Rafik)are absolutely amazing and are always willing to help make sure medications are filled on time. They are all very welcoming and pharmacy environment is cheerful which makes it comfortable to talk to staff and pharmacists.

The pharmacy like no other. No other Walgreens would be comparable to this pharmacy. The care they provide is exceptional. Rafik the pharmacy manager taking good care of his business and his clients.I stood one time watching him how he direct his team to serve his clients, you can tell that he cares. I’m thankful for seeing someone really caring about me, my wife and our community.

I needed several back years Rx support documentation for our friends at the IRS. Michaela was working the night I had again asked for assistance...it was 7:40 pm, the Pharmacy closes at 8:00 pm...she diligently started to work her magic on her Walgreens computer, and successfully finished at about
8:20 pm which was well after the Pharmacy closing!
She "went the extra mile" for me, which is what her Chief Pharmacist boss does as well...they share that trait between them...Sally as well, along with Bryan...a great team that Farik has built.

Walgreens on 59th is a very special place!!
I have never experience a pharmacy like this one!!
Rafik the pharmacist goes way and beyond with his knowledge!! He takes his time to answer any questions you may have!! He is always happy and has a smile on his face!!
His team especially Bryan has my prescription
Pulled as soon as he sees me!!
Michaela always can solve any problem you may encounter!!!
When you leave there you are not a customer you are FAMILY!!!!
It makes my day when I leave Walgreens on 59th!!
Not too many pharmacies go the extra mile
But Rafik and his team do..
Thank you Walgreens for making a difference!!
10 stars for this place!!!!!!!

Yesterday I had my husband suddenly break things off with me with no warning. And today I had to move out of my apartment in a rush as he put a deadline on me to get out. Anyways I didn't change my Walgreens yet, and so I had a refill I needed to pick up before I left the city. So we drove the uHaul here to come get it. The pharmacy person Bryan remembered me and remembered I didn't have insurance and remembered my prescription is $700. In his own time since I refilled my prescription and saw it in the computer he said he remembered my last name and found some amazing discounts for me on the internet and showed me he got the price as low as he was able to. Him doing that when I was having the worst day of my life just made me feel so much better. It was like a good omen. Bryan I cannot begin to thank you for your kindness in this time of my desperate need. You are an extremely kind person and I hope you are granted with something amazing back. Hoping this message reaches your superiors as you deserve so much recognition. I wish I could stay with this pharmacy so badly. Thank you all so much for everything.

Pharmacy’s staff are all professional and caring and go beyond to help with any needs we have.
This morning the mgr. Rafik Botros helped me with a med I needed ( very expensive)that my Insurance would not cover. He was able to get me a 90 day supply for the cost of 30 days. We are very grateful and appreciative of the service we get at this Walgreens.

WALGREENS on Cortez and 59th has been my pharmacy for over 10 years! It is the ONLY pharmacy that I go to for ALL of my needs but especially my prescriptions! Rafik is the BEST pharmacist that I have ever met and worked with! He has always been there for me. I had a special request for a certain medication and he went above and beyond to find it and get it for me! I was BEYOND AMAZED!!!!!!!!!!!! I mean WOW, what other pharmacist would ever do something like that! They care about YOU and YOUR well-being/health and it truly shows! They want to help YOU save money and to have what you specifically want and need!
I can't tell you how many times I've needed special help with a medication to get it covered with my insurance or if there was a special promo offered - they always work with you no matter what! Even if there are people waiting - YOU are important to them and they want YOU to be happy with the service that they provide! This Walgreens pharmacy is the BEST in Bradenton, FL. This review is my honest truth - Thank you Rafik!

This is the best pharmacy in Bradenton period. The service is fabulous, clean and organized, my medication always available on time, courteous people, nice and caring. This is not like 26 st or manatee ave. if you have ever a problem any where go speak to the nice pharmacy manager Rafik and he will get you in and out in no time. Don't waste your time spinning in tow finding the great service. They deserve applause, they working very hard to make me and my family happy.

Rafik, & the intelligent team of Pharmacists helped me with my journey of joining the military. I've had trouble with my blood pressure & day after day I was helped unquestionably. Some of the finest of workers here. Big shout outs to my Bradenton people @ Walgreens. Love Ya'll Man. -Ive

Rafik is very knowledgeable and caring pharmacist. He always takes care of me and my family. I pass 3 other Walgreens just to seek his knowledge and get the best customer service at his store.

Pharmacy specific rating - Exceeded basic customer service expectations while remaining professional and efficient. Pharmacist, Rafik Botros is the first pharmacist to give me their time without hesitation. Overall excellent.

Rafik was helpful in helping me find the APP to get my refills. I had no idea this APP exisited, and it saved me a great amount of money. This location the Pharmacy staff is always helpful and courteous.

Have unfortunately had to go to pharmacies for many years do to a disability. Rafik and his team at this Walgreens are absolutely Amazing!! Always friendly, fast and accommodating. Rafik is always available to answer any questions and go out of his way to be helpful!Will never go anywhere else! Thank you all at Walgreens on 59th and Cortez!!!

The pharmacy department were so kind to me. I cannot express my gratitude. I would recommend the Walgreens at 59th and Cortez to anyone that needs a little extra help with their prescription. They took their time and explained everything to me. Thank you,
Karen Bailey.

PS A special shout out to two pharmacist at the Walgreens on 59th and Cortez in Bradenton. I'm sorry I don't know their proper names.
1) Rafik
2) The PM pharmacist with straight blonde hair and glasses.
Again, a heartfelt thanks.

Employees are very helpful and courtesy very clean and flurries on top of everything I would recommend to anyone all but the pharmacy very rude other than that it's a great place to shop

Best customer service I've had from a Walgreens pharmacy! Ordered my prescription to the wrong location and within minutes the pharmacist corrected it and had it filled for me so that I wouldn't have to drive further to the other location. Not to mention, they were so kind about the whole thing!

I continue to use the Walgreens on Cortez Road and 59th Street because of the great service and friendly staff at that store and especially within the pharmacy department. When you have a drug or insurance question or issue, just talk with the manager Rafik Botros and he will solve your problem and also give you an understandable explanation as well. Rafik is an expert in fixing "things that go array" in today's complicated drug and insurance world. Hence I have comfort doing business at his store.

Rafik and his team are awesome in the pharmacy. They make the complex way more simple. The team has been taking care of my family since i moved to Florida! Awesome
