My fav Walgreens location, staff is all very nice and helpful. The store is well stocked and clean. Pharmacy is normally on time and in stock of the medication my family uses. They also have a great selection of squishmallows if your a collector however this area sells out fast.

On a very cold day in early December of 2022 we bundled up my 94 year old Mother and loaded her and her purse and her walker into the car to get her ears cleaned as she was having trouble hearing. You schedule this through the store clinic and it's done online. We have done it many times before. I also scheduled a Covid booster and flu shot for myself - stupidly thinking about killing two birds with one stone. We get there, unload Mother, unload her purse, unload her walker and get her in the store. The clinic is near the prescription area opposite the door - in the back corner of the store. Took Mother to the waiting area and register at the kiosk. When the technician came out, we were informed that the cost of this cleaning would be $160 for the visit and $100/per ear - total $360. When we questioned why the cost was almost tripled prior to what it was before, we were told that Medicare no longer picks up the bulk of the cost. I asked her why this wasn't noted on the website where appointments were scheduled and got the immediate, usual and overused excuse that she "didn't know - she wasn't in charge of the website." We declined the ear cleaning. Meantime - still waiting to be called in for my covid/flu shot. Finally realized that I needed to check in and went to wait in the line for pharmacy prescription pickup/dropoff that was halfway down the aisle. I asked the pharmacy person behind the counter why it wasn't noted on any signage that check in was needed there. Again, this person didn't know either. Finally got my covid/flu shot after waiting over 30 minutes given to me by another technician who apologized for the wait by using the same old/same old excuse of being shorthanded. Walgreens also had a buy one/get one free offer on some of it's vitamins. We bought two bottles of Vitamin D gel capsules that my Mother was charged twice for and that I had to go back the next day to get reimbursement after having to wait at the cash register for the cashier to call the manager because she didn't know how to do that. That was Strike Three. I immediately changed all of Mother's prescriptions to Osco Drugs. Take your own life into your hands going to Walgreens - I wouldn't buy a stick of gum at the place and will never go back to the Elk Grove Village or any other Walgreens location again. My biggest regret is that I have to give it one star just to write the review - it's far below that.

Plan out at LEAST an hour wait if your picking up a prescription, and don't bother making an appointment, they don't matter. Never had less than a 30 minute wait. Even with no line they will take forever.

One of the worst Walgreens I've ever been to! The pharmacy is so understaffed and prescriptions aren't ready when they say they will be. The messages you receive via text are incorrect but I guess that's a corporate thing

Many of the younger workers at this location are rude and lack customer service training. This is every time I visit. I live across the street from this Walgreens. One particular day, I had a pharmacy tech contact me about taking a few vaccinations. I told her I was waiting for my arm to heal from taking the Covid Booster. She proceeded to say, well it is highly recommended you take these vaccines due to your health condition (High Blood Pressure) and age. I felt offended by delivery of her message. It's not what you say, it's how you say it. So I said to her, well that was rude, let me decide when. Thank you. I know for fact that Walgreens train their workers. I use to work for the corporate office. Considering this is what I do for a living. Here's my advice visit this store and watch what is going on.

Great place if you're looking for some health care supplies that are usually out of stock in other branches. Staff are all very nice! When I ask for another medicine without any image, they knows the stock as well.

I got a COVID test for my son who needed it as he's too young for the vaccine. The test was needed for entrance into a Broadway show because it is mandatory. The test hasn't even reached the testing center yet so this morning we scrambled to get a rapid test done. There's no excuse for something to be so behind. Just go to CVS instead.

This place has become a joke. I've recently had a major surgery and suffered some additional setbacks. Multiple times Ive come to pick up medication and have had problems with the service . once the pharmacist was on break so I had to come back in 45 minutes. That is after waiting in line for some time. The problem was resolved when she asked me a simple question. She could have called me but no.... That would require service. Today I went to pick up an order that was placed prior to my discharge from the hospital last night. Because they couldn't verify a residents license to prescribe controlled substances they rejected the order.no call was made to me or the hospital to solve the problem. That would require service above and beyond their policy I guess.I called my primary physician and asked him to put the order in for the prescription. It has been sitting there for hours now....no action even though it stated it would be ready for pick up by 5:21pm. It is now 7:15p.m. I will be moving my prescriptions out of this joke of a pharmacy. Terrible terrible... No service. It's now 7:22.... They just noticed my prescription and they've started processing

We stopped in to get our COVID 19 vaccines. The whole process was pretty darn good.A couple days before our appointments, an opening freed up and they took the time to call us and offer us. We were not available that day, but the associate on the phone was able to tell me which vaccine we would be getting on Tuesday which definitely made it more reassuring to know ahead.When we got to the location the actual pharmacist helped us with check in and paperwork. She was super polite and nice. Our appointments were spaced out about an hour apart. She managed to get us both vaccinated at the same time so we didn't end up waiting longer then we had to.This pharmacist was very gracious and understanding of my needle fears and made the actual shot, quick, easy and almost pain free. She let us both go in together and it was over in just a few minutes!I would definitely recommend this location for vaccinations as I had a great experience.

No 24 hr pharmacy, the people working at night are very helpful.
