Store location is 1232 W Wade Hampton Blvd, Greer SC 29650. My father-in-law fills his prescription at this pharmacy location. He recently lost his Medicare Part D coverage for a gap in time. He visited the Walgreens pharmacy this week to fill a prescription that include Omeprazole in 40 mg tablets that cost him $164!!!! He is 85 years old, and does not read well. The pharmacist did not consult him about speaking to his doctor to see if an OTC option would be more affordable. After all, it was known to the pharmacy that he was temporarily not covered by Medicare as they are who informed him. I called and spoke with the pharmacist (or whoever answered the phone) and asked why he wasn't consulted about it and was told "We just fill the prescription. That's what his doctor ordered and the patient will have to talk to his doctor about that." Seriously? I could understand if it was something that was only available as a prescription. But Omeprazole when he could just take 2 20mg tablets? Our family is very, very disappointed with your pharmacists' lack of care and concern for a long-time and elderly customer.
