“Could not ask for friendlier or more attentive staff. If you’re having issues with those big box pharmacies; don’t hesitate to switch. It’s totally worth my longer drive for better service.”
“Great experience here. Locally owned and operated. Always pleasant and knowledgeable staff. They do their own compounding when needed, which has come in handy over the years. Highly recommend.”
“Extremely easy to set the appointment on-line. The staff was very helpful and made sure I was comfortable with the vaccination process. This is my 2nd year to use Alps and will use them again.”
“I have been getting my medication from here for years and I have never had a problem with them and they are far better than Walgreens there's not even a comparison”
“The ONLY PLACE we use for all except 1 of our prescriptions! That 1 is an item their supplier isn't (or wasn't) able to get a hold of. I ? walking in & several of the staff members know exactly who I am, they say hello & use my name. I see Eric, Brooke, or Jacob almost every time I go into pickup our stuff. When they haven't had something I needed (during/right after COVID), they BENT OVER BACKWARDS to get my medication! I know that I definitely appreciate it more than they may realize!!! We became customers in 2011, after being treated horribly by a certain big box pharmacy. We've been so happy that I referred my grandma to them & she used them for a few yrs until she was no longer able to live alone/needed around the clock care/supervision. ? Thank you to the staff & Lawrence for everything!!!”
“Great prices and friendly, helpful staff! I wish I could thank everyone but Ansen is the name that comes to mind. Always greets with a smile and is so patient with all my concerns. Will never use another pharmacy. Their prices are the best in town, honestly!! If you use Walgreens or CVS please reconsider. Check out Medicenter. I promise they will beat prices and there’s never a wait. They’ll also deliver your meds to you for no extra charge.”
“Today was my first time here. I must say the staff was amazing to say the least! They are very down to earth, knowledgeable and treat you like you’ve been using them forever. I will definitely have my prescriptions sent there from now on. I highly recommend them!!”
“Leaps and bounds better than the place to the west. I love not having to wait sometimes over an hour after already waiting at the Drs to get meds. Hines Street just gets it done. Thanks!”
“The nice thing about Price cutter is that you have to pay a little more than you do at Walmart but you know what you get out of that You know that you get a place that's local a place that's nice and a place that won't jack up the prices because somebody feels like killing too many chickens like okay but like this guy down the road and he's doing good and he's farming chickens and they're all right and they like to eat the food and so his chickens are good and he says my eggs are good but then Walmart says well we don't want your good eggs we only want our best choice eggs that are now overpriced because we had to kill all of our chickens So then you just go to price cutter and it's really nice because now you're paying cheaper than what you would at Walmart and you didn't really expect that did you But that's what you get for shopping local better prices overall also there's plenty of eggs to go around so you don't get stabbed because you have eggs and the guy next to you doesn't The nixa one is also really nice cuz there's this guy in there named Randy and Randy is always really nice and Randy's willing to help you and if you say Randy I don't know where this is Randy will either say It's right here and he'll pull it out of his back pocket or he'll say we don't have that You got to go somewhere else and honestly that's really respectable Randy can do anything he's basically a superhero so long as he is in a price cutter his powers are active and you don't mess with a guy like Randy I really hope he's around for the next century”
“This store was so very gracious and helpful for so many reasons. We were shopping for an event that our Bible Study was putting on for an Assisted Living Facility. We got what needed and went to check out. Ryan was so very helpful when my gift card would not work. He went to another lane to check customers out while I worked with the card company. He realized that I was stressing but was very calm and helpful. The residents were so excited for their delicious meal. I will go back to this store whenever I am in Springfield.”
“Grove pharmacy was particularly helpful in making me understand that there may be a shortage of a particular denture cream I have been searching for and that there is a problem on the manufacturing end. So now I know to order off the internet instead of wandering aimlessly through the large scale stores asking questions of them as to why there is none in stock. I highly recommend that the conglomerates use the same people skills and learn from privately held companies like Grove Pharmacy. ?”
“Alps Pharmacy — A Personal Touch That Sets the Standard, With Room to Grow Even Greater In a world where most pharmacy experiences feel about as personal as a vending machine transaction, **Alps Pharmacy in Nixa** arrives as a genuinely refreshing alternative — a place that has clearly made a conscious decision to operate differently, and for the most part, succeeds beautifully at it. What immediately separates Alps from the chain pharmacy experience is something deceptively simple but profoundly impactful — they actually care about you as a person, not just as a prescription number. The level of personalized service here is evident from your very first interaction, and it sets a tone that keeps loyal customers coming back with genuine appreciation. The **delivery service** alone is worth celebrating loudly. In a community where convenience is increasingly expected but rarely delivered with grace, Alps steps up in a meaningful and practical way that makes managing your health considerably less stressful. For anyone with mobility challenges, a demanding schedule, or simply a preference for thoughtful service, this offering is nothing short of a game changer. But what truly distinguishes Alps and deserves its own standing ovation is their **proactive prescription reminders.** Calling customers up to two weeks before a prescription is due is not just good service — it is genuinely caring service. It reflects a pharmacy that understands its role extends beyond simply filling bottles. It is looking out for you, anticipating your needs before you even realize they are approaching, and that kind of attentiveness is rare and deeply appreciated. That said, a truly honest review requires acknowledging the areas where Alps has an opportunity to elevate its already solid foundation even further. The environment carries a certain upscale energy that is not unwelcome, but with it comes an occasional perception that not every customer is receiving the same warm, attentive experience equally. When certain patrons appear to receive preferential treatment based on perceived social standing, it creates an subtle but uncomfortable imbalance that a pharmacy built on personal service simply cannot afford to ignore. Every customer walking through those doors — regardless of appearance, background, or social status — deserves to feel equally valued and equally seen. And that leads to perhaps the most personal piece of feedback this review carries — the desire to be *known.* Not just as a customer, but by name. By face. By story. The difference between a pharmacy that fills your prescription and one that genuinely knows you is monumental, and Alps already has all the ingredients to be firmly in that second category. The foundation is absolutely there. The personal touch just needs to extend a little further, a little more consistently, and to every single person who walks through the door. **The Verdict Worth Framing:** Alps Pharmacy in Nixa is already doing more right than most, and it has earned a loyalty that speaks for itself. With a small but meaningful investment in knowing every customer the way they clearly know some, and ensuring that warmth is distributed equally across every interaction, Alps would not just be a great local pharmacy — it would be an absolutely irreplaceable one. The potential here is undeniable, and that is precisely why the feedback matters. When something is already this good, pushing it toward extraordinary feels not just possible but inevitable.”
“The storage generally clean. It's a little crowded but that just means the produce is fresher. The only thing I really don't like is the parking lot. The spaces are a decent size, but the lanes between are small and it's hard to get in and out.”
“Chandler of the tire and battery section has a excellent customer service. He will make sure that your tire still okay and not spending unnecesarry expenses. I thought that my rear tire needs new tires but actually isnt. Thanks Chandler!”
“This the only Walgreens I will go to...I'm picking up a rx at least twice a month and e have been to over 7 Walgreens stores in Springfield and these people actually act like people not robots... they are always kind and go out of their way to help instead of doing the absolute minimum that u seem to get elsewhere...the tall skinny pharmacist that sometimes has purple in her hair deserves a raise....”
“Best Pharmacy Ever! Seriously! This staff is so informative and supportive of any and all questions you have. If you don't see what you need, ask them and they'll do everything they can to get it for you!! We are very Blessed to have them. Thank you all so much! Signed, Becky A Very Happy Customer!”
“I love this pharmacy and all of the staff. They are always so helpful and are very knowledgeable. I especially appreciate their commitment to being discreet when the lobby is crowded.”
“This is the most amazing pharmacy I've ever been to and I'm so thankful I discovered them! The employees are so kind and helpful. They go above and beyond and I don't have to worry about my meds. Thank you so much!”
“Everyone at this clinic is to notch. I have been a patient here for many years because they listen, talk things over with me, and always do what's right for me! Highly recommend”
“Chris is one of the best he is so friendly and never in a hurry to find out about my prescription now they have a new guy yesterday he was just as nice I'm glad they're finding some good people thank you Walmart pharmacy”
“Great store, but I wish they would stock up on items that are about to go on sale. I went to several locations and they were all almost out of what was on the sale that week.”
“I have been going to Walgreens all my life. When my kids were sick. I go to Walgreens Need a brace go to Walgreens . I like ordering my pictures off my phone. They are always ready in a few hours. Remember the saying... If you need a good, naborhood drugstore. Go to Walgreens”
“The staff at the Nixa location are the nicest people. I switched from another Nixa pharmacy, because there was always an issue getting certain prescriptions. Mercy Nixa has what I need in stock, or they can get it overnight usually. They do have limited weekend hours, but I am able to work around that with no issue. I HIGHLY recommend the Mercy Nixa pharmacy!”
“Walmart Pharmacy provides excellent service!!!— the staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and always willing to help. Prescriptions are filled quickly and prices are very reasonable.”
“I want everyone to know what a great team that Cox North has been to me and getting my medicine from the team leader Jesse of her team and their driver bless you all for working with me I will recommend you to anyone and everyone”
“My wife and I just got our flu shots. I had made appointments at the wrong CVS, but the pharmacist and assistant at this CVS at the Target on Primrose were exceptionally accommodating. Very pleasant and informative. Great experience. Thanks Wendy and Jennifer.”
“I was there yesterday and had a pretty good experience. I'm having trouble with my fingers and they did a very good job explaining what was going on and I'm waiting to get scheduled for surgery. They are much better than the people who deal with arthritic knees and stuff. Dr. Kubik treated me today. In my opinion, the arthritic knee people are not qualified to carry guts to a hog.”
“Amazing service, increasing patient to pharmacist care is increasing here, lots of health and wellness service, including testing of cholesterol, lipids, blood pressure, pulse and weight. Also they are very particular to make sure you are cared for. I encourage it”
“I recently moved back home to Springfield from the gargantuan city of Austin, TX. Getting groceries in Austin was never short of a 2 hour ordeal. Fight 4 lanes of traffic each way on I-45, park in an enormous parking lot bigger than anything Springfield has seen, then fight the foot traffic in HEB for 60 minutes (pretty much the only grocery chain in TX). Didn't matter if I got groceries at 7am on Saturday or 6pm on Friday. It was a nightmare. So this little market is wonderful. I can stop by on my way home from work and literally be in and out in under 20 minutes every time. They offer a surprising amount of organic items, and I've never needed a grocery item they don't carry with exception of organic ginger and turmeric root - which I go to Mama Jeans for. Love this little grocery store. Not a fan of big Wal Mart locations, but these markets are brilliant.”
“Today I just had a few things to get, but I had a super great experience today. A lady walking something in the back part of the customer service desk helped me get some donuts from the top shelf of the aisle where it says to ask for assistance, and she came immediately n followed me and was very pleasant and with a smile. When I was checking out I was getting in my wallet to get my cash to pay and the lady had came around and loaded every single sack of groceries for me in my cart. I looked up n said did you just load all my groceries in there? I said Wow! Thank you so much. You have no idea how much I appreciate that. And she was smiling as well. Had a nice little trip today in there and it was during after work rush hour too. This is my main Walmart I always go to cause I live really close to it, so I call it My Store... Oh, I bought their original macaroni for a side dishe tonight for dinner and it wasn't bad or spoiled or rotten or nothing, but it was the most terrible macaroni salad I've ever tasted in my entire life and I spit it out. Definitely won't recommend or ever purchase again. I guess I could return it since I saved my receipt. I tried it as soon as I got home, but my Walmart experience today was super awesome and I highly recommend going to this store. The parking lot is too small and you really gotta pay attention when pulling in n backing out cause it's congestive cause the lot isn't very big. But really great store...”
