“Absolutely love this pharmacy they are so helpful and give you handouts on certain meds that can deplete your body of certain vitamins and what vitamins you should take when you're on those type of meds. The pharmacists and the techs are so helpful and want to get to know you personally. They also do blister packs for your medications and they're a lot easier to keep track of than bottles. All I can see is love. Love love”
“I have never had a bad experience with Portico pharmacy. Unlike other chain pharmacies, they are always very prompt and great to work with! Highly recommend them!”
“Andrew and Sarah are very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. I have felt very comfortable sharing and discussing issues with them both. I feel like I can be totally honest and get solid feedback. Thanks!”
“Hard to find on google maps. Go to the main St Lukes Medical Center entrance as pictured. Park in the West Lot on campus, not East or North. Open earlier than all other pharmacys and far cheaper.”
“I love red rock because they get my med ready and they bring it to the office and I love that they are fast and never proponents and they did a good job I appreciate that they brought it”
“5 Stars all the way — look no further for your compounding pharmacy needs. Madison is extremely knowledgeable and is a fantastic resource for compounding/functional medicine. She only uses high quality ingredients in her compounded medications. She exemplifies professionalism in everything she does. The Treasure Valley is lucky to have her!”
“Do they hand out 'courteous, friendly and customer focused pills' in the employee breakroom here? Whatever it is that makes it so for everyone who works at this Costco, I wish they could bottle and distribute it to all retailers. I am no Costco fan in general . True story, when I lived in the Bay Area about 35 years ago and was in a Costco for the first time I almost started to hyperventilate from seeing just TOO MUCH of everything and I went outside to wait on my husband to shop. And in the 20 years we lived in Bend (OR), between the crush of tourists (now about 1.5 Million a year to that once little mountain town) and explosive growth the Costco experience was torture for how unpleasant many of the understandably hassled employees were. (I grew to dislike the contingent of rude tourists too. Just sayin'.) I was an ABC, anything but Costco, shopper. SELECTION OF THINGS WE NEED TO BUY + GREAT SERVICE HERE HAS WON ME OVER: and makes even me look forward to our roughly 3 times a year shopping trips. As in today when we left with beautiful organic berries (four kinds), Kleenex, lemons and limes, a bottle of Zinfandel for my dad (he's 91 and it fit our "90+ spectator rating / $20-" ;-) rule for drinking his fav varietal with him ), Beecher's Flagship cheddar, what passes for 'junk food' at our house in the form of Tru-Fru dark chocolate dipped frozen raspberries (seriously, these are SO good) and Milton's brand gluten free frozen veggie pizza (good stuff in its' category) and lots and lots of AA batteries (which is what we went in for). So many that the checker said "I gotta ask?" as he rang them up. Battery operated window shades was my husband's reply. "Ah! Now I get it! ." chuckled this nice guy. As was the young guy, really hustling, who boxed up our purchases, for literally sprinting to the parking lot to tag a customer who left behind vitamins to get them to her before she departed. All of this with a smile. Nice. Very nice.TIMING IS EVERYTHING: here and it is best to avoid the time when, to crib Bill Joel, "the regular crowd shuffles in" to eat the hot dogs and pizza and whatever else at the food service, wait in line and order counter in the front of the store. I do not get it, but clearly I am the oddball here to not appreciate those eats. It is nearly SRO for food service and it adds to the crush of cars in the parking lot that looks huge but is always too small for the number of shoppers. Also if you can get in and out before they start the free samples in the food section, that is swell too for fewer people. And absolutely avoid weekends if you can do that at this store where it seems it is a family affair to bring the kids to Costco for entertainment and let them run around to explore and in particular at the samples stations. Go figure. GAZING IN MY CRYSTALL BALL: We have only been shopping here for a year, it opened maybe 2+ years ago, but seeing more frequent stops in here during this Summer and Fall given they carry the same brand of organic berries of all kinds that we buy at another retailer in the area and the Costco ones were fresher and 30% less. It will not be my fault if a bag of Tru-Fru frozen chocolate covered raspberries jump out of the freezer case into my cart each time too.”
“Went to get some photos processed and left my wallet on the counter. Drove around for an hour not knowing it was missing and I got a call from the store manager saying he had found it. Went back, grabbed it and everything was still there. Great service and humility. I appreciated it.”
“Best pharmacy in town hands down! Everyone working here is equally amazing and they truly care about great customer service. We previously had all of our meds delivered but I actually look forward to going in or through their drive through. No matter how complex they go above and beyond.”
“Bright and clean, feels like a breath of fresh air when you walk in. Kind staff, excellent value when using the coupons, but if not part of the members club prices can be a bit higher than the competition.”
“The pharmacists are so kind and patient with questions. You can tell they really care about people and treating the “whole person”. I love the feature where they text you when your prescription has been filled and is ready to pick up.”
“The best pharmacy and pharmacists you could ask for …not only have they been top notch l being efficient and fast Sarah as well as Andrew have taken the time and sat on the phone with me for hours discussing my symptoms as well as my prescriptions. But have also went above and beyond to make sure I get what I need for my diagnosis You can’t find that anywhere else. I absolutely love these guys and I have no words of pure gratitude for them. I have sat in line for our at Walgreens, and I have never sat more than one minute at Albertsons.”
“The staff at Option Care was great. Anytime I needed something or forgot to order something they were very prompt at making sure I received what I needed the next day. I highly recommend Option Care. 👍”
“I have seen all these complaints about customer service and etc. This is a really good pharmacy and very professionally run. But, like pretty much everyplace these days, they have staffing shortages. The lead person there is an excellent pharmacist called Scott. I’ve been using them for several years now, and of course there have been a few times when the medical provider and the pharmacy get some signals crossed. But that is not at all common. I know how stressful and frustrating it can be standing in a line for a long time, but my opinion is that they are doing the very best they can in today’s world. So great job Fred’s Pharmacy!”
“Jason is a wonderful man and human. I got to the pharmacy for my mom's prescription, and it was just a minute after closing and he still helped me. Still smiling, even though seemingly tired. Thanks Jason. I hope you are recognized for the true gentleman that you are.”
“The staff here is truly so kind and helpful. My entire family including our dog gets multiple scripts filled here. They are always making sure we are getting the best deal and that we understand our meds. I really can’t say enough, having chronic health issues is so stressful and this staff has been a blessing.”
“Love the people that work here! I’ve been going here every month multiple times a month for 4 years and could not be happier with the service. Very friendly and professional!”
“The staff is friendly. The pharmacists are so knowledgeable. They work with patients needing answers to new medications. They help you look for lower cost options. A 5-star team. They are very easy to work with.”
“This store has a very wide variety of products in most all of the situations I have ever been in that I needed to run to the store for! Their makeup isle is impressive, they sell way too many products I love, makes it dangerous for me to go in! Haha! The employees are helpful and nice too.”
“They did such a great job on my 6” round custom cake! Ordered online with frosting balloons and lettering and it came out so well! Could not be happier. Spelling and “handwriting”were perfect and the frosting on the sides was flawlessly smooth. Finished on time and everything! Will absolutely order from this bakery again.”
“Exceptional service and knowledge of the store its been my pharmacy for over 3 years and I don't know what I would do without them. Jacob the manager and Dakota the shift lead stand out because they always go above and beyond to help me. Also Mandee in the pharmacy always helps me with my medication and question”
“I have been going to this location to fill my RXs for about four years. When I pull up to the drive thru my favorite pharmacy tech is Kimberly. She always has a smile and remembers my first name. Today I found out that my RX insurance was terminated unexpectedly and I couldnt get new coverage for another THIRTY DAYS !! I needed several medications ASAP. This location's pharmacy is very busy and the techs work VERY hard, but Kimberly was able to find me an affordable coupon so I could get my most important medication. THANK YOU KIMBERLY!!”
“It's amazing to see that they're still doing good here and that the staff is still so friendly and amazing. This is the Walgreens that all my childhood photos were done at all. The ones that we had that needed to be developed were done here!”
“I’ve only used this pharmacy a few times, but I had been using Walgreens and Fred Meyer seems much better. Friendly people, very helpful, go the extra mile.”
