Complaint / Review
Walgreen Co
Racist pharmacist, Discriminating

The pharmacist I have been going to Walgreens pharmacy on Martin Luther king and camino el Norte for years and never had a problem until they fired all there workers and hired new people. There is a pharmacist name Peter who does not like me because I am black and a young woman, and he doesn't think I deserve to take medication. On December 23 I had just left from getting surgery my friend picked me up and took pushed me in my walker with seat to the window. Peter then called my doctor told her to lower the quantity on my Xanax 2mg and give my roxycodone 30mg once a month or he would not fill them. My doctor explain I have had a surgery every 3 months since a doctor did the wrong surgery on me and that I had just left from surgery. He then told me I looked like I had took to many Xanax which I had not i had just left surgery. He filled my Xanax told me to come back January 10 for my roxycodone and so that is what I did. Jan 11 I called Walgreens to see if my kidney doctor had electronically sent my medicine over a woman answered the phone and said yes I then said can you please tell me if I'm due for my refill for carisoprodol 350 mg and the date I'm due for Xanax 2mg. The woman said your due for one of them hold on just a second. Then Peter the pharmacist got on the phone and said is this Alisa Hardy I said yes he said your not due for anything until the end of the month I told your family already and if this is you why don't you know when your prescription is due. I says ok and hung up the phone, later that day I went through the drive through to get my medicine that my kidney doctor sent over and I ask can you look in the system to see if my carisoprodol 350mg are due here is my identification I am Alisa Peter said no. When he walked off I ask the woman and she said yes ill have your carisoprodol ready in 2 hours I says thank you and left. 3 hours later I called to see if it was ready Peter answered the phone, he says what's your last name I said hardy he said your somas are ready but not Xanax I said I know the woman told me when they are due I'm only calling because she said it would be ready in 2 hours and I know you guys were really busy. He then says Is this Alisa hardy I says yes he said I'm not filling anything else for you come get your oxycodone prescription because I ask the woman the information he wouldn't tell me. Peter had already told me the oxycodone 30mg prescription was ready they were just waiting for my doctor to send the approval letter or to call them. I told him I wanted to speak to a manager and he hung up the phone. There are several African Americans who said Peter had caused them problems with getting there meds as well. I have 2 holes in my stomach that's left from a surgery that re opened my entire stomach, my doctor has tried stitching it a couple times but it keeps re opening from infection. I have a home nurse that comes to my house 3 times a week to clean the inside of my stomach that's open. I have a pinch nerve in my back that cause my left leg to hurt really bad. I donated 1 of my kidneys to my dad 2 years ago so every 3 months when I have surgery I loose blood that causes my kidney to go week. I have adhesions that attack my scar on my stomach from the inside and my bowels and make them lock up so I have to get surgery or I'll die. My doctor told me I will have to get surgery for the rest of my life. I'm in excruciating pain and now the pharmacist Peter is denying all if my meds because he has a problem with black people. He frowns and look at me like I'm nothing but gum on the bottom of his shoe. He makes me so uncomfortable I feel scared for my life when I go there. And the managers are letting him get away with it. There corporate office doesn't return your calls in 48 hrs like there supposed to. I will take a lie detector test and bring all of my medical records in for proof. I am a 31 year old female with 4 children and in pain emotionally and physically.
