Costco Pharmacy

Peter Kleine

The pharmacy located within the Independence Costco does a great job of taking care of my prescriptions. The techs are courteous and professional. They do their best to move things along without you feeling pushed through the process. The techs or the pharmacist come across as eager to answer any questions I may have about my medications or anything related to the dispensing of the prescription. I think the average turn around time for my particular prescription probably averages under 45 minutes from handing over the script to receiving the medicine. There's been a couple longer waits but these are by far the exception and not the rule. - - - One earlier reviewer who gave a very low rating complained about the pharmacy needing to see ID though she had been in the system for years. These are the people I sometimes have the misfortune of being behind in line when I go to the pharmacy. Despite the fact they have been buying this "normal" prescription from this pharmacy "for years" they can't seem to come up with what is needed to satisfy the transaction. I hope they didn't drive to the pharmacy without their drivers license if that is the form of ID in question. Your ID is the most basic thing you carry. How many times have they asked for your ID in the past? How many times do you keep not bringing it? - - - I'm glad to hear this person's complaint because it tells me this Costco pharmacy is conscientious about the service it provides. Drugs are dangerous if dispensed incorrectly. They need to go only to the person they are prescribed for. With people frequently changing insurances and medical providers knowing who's who can get very complicated and confusing. Bravo for checking IDs! - - - To sum up, this is a good pharmacy. And if you are a responsible person who is committed to maintaining some degree of routine and discipline in your life - like carrying up-to-date personal identification - you will likely be very satisfied with the service this pharmacy provides, much like I have. - - - Thank you, Independence Costco pharmacy. Keep up the good work. : )

This pharmacy is the LEAST expensive pharmacy in the area. The staff have always been friendly and have worked hard to resolve any prescription issues I have had. They are not perfect and I've had to wait at times. However all pharmacies have that issue. Saving money is where they excell!

This pharmacy comes in next to last place for my "current list of worst pharmacies to have to deal with". My doctor and I preemptively addressed a concern and because they didn't initiate this "request to address the concern" themselves first, I had to wait for over an hour to receive my medication. Last time I'm going there ever. I'd happily pay $20 to $50 or even $100 more for my script where I don't have to give up an entire day to some pharmacists that want to play doctor.
