Sarah was so helpful when I filled my prescriptions while up visiting. I was very thankful in her assistance in working with my insurance company to fill a few days early when I forgot my medication at home.

I've rarely had anything other than prompt, personable, and helpful service at the Lakeside Safeway pharmacy over decades of experience and through countless numbers of staffing changes. I've found that a friendly word and a smile go a long way, especially with often understaffed and sometimes overextended personnel.
