Safeway Pharmacy in Cheney is known for its knowledgeable and professional staff who provide great customer service. Many customers report that the pharmacy team is helpful, resolving insurance issues and knowing patients by name. The staff is described as the most knowledgeable about prescriptions that some have encountered, offering a breath of fresh air compared to other pharmacies. They provide convenient services like signing up for text alerts when prescriptions are ready.
The pharmacy offers a variety of services including flu vaccinations, shingles shots, back-to-school vaccines, safe drug disposal, and filling pet prescriptions. They accept most forms of insurance. It is located at 2710 1st St and can be busy, especially between the afternoon and close in this college town, so visiting during class hours is recommended to avoid lines.
However, some reviews note that pricing can be high compared to other local pharmacies, even with discount programs, advising customers to research and ask for generic medications. Despite this, many long-term customers strongly recommend it, stating it is an excellent pharmacy and the best, having switched to it full time from other providers.
The younger gal Mirya is always super nice to me every time I come in. She is always willing to go the extra mile when I need it. The pharmacist Thomas is also very kind. Can’t imagine how things would be if they weren’t there.
