I generally find the e-prescribed meds arrive rather quickly at large retail chains. On more than one occasion, I've sent an e-script only to have the pharmacy call the patient's cell phone while I'm still in the room with them.

I have instructed our staff that if a patient calls with some problem at the pharmacy, to have the pharmacy staff call us.

The main issue I usually have is when I ask a patient what pharmacy they want their meds sent to they usually go to the wrong pharmacy to pick it up.
