Pharmacy
Phone: (253) 968-2999
Hours: M-F 0700-1900

Closed Sundays and Holidays
Additional Information:
The above information is for the Main Pharmacy at MAMC where the new prescriptions entered by MAMC providers are processed. Refills are obtained through the mandatory call-in (253-968-2999 or 1-800-544-3298 Option 4) or on-line at http://www.mamc.amedd.army.mil ?¢‚Ǩ‚Äú
Our family has been assigned to Madigan since we came here and I think most folks get assigned here.
Appointments:
Never had any problems getting an appointment at Madigan ?¢‚Ǩ‚Äú when I really needed it.
Pediatrics:
a. regular appointments are generally on time-the ladies are nice and helpful at the desk.
b. they have a pediatrics lab where they can draw blood. This is especially nice since the regular lab is usually packed and has longer waiting time.
c. immunizations have been a hit or miss lately in terms of waiting times. Things have been changing?¢‚Ǩ¬¶certain vaccinations can be given without appointments others can?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢t?¢‚Ǩ¬¶so ASK
Other
a. ENT is hard to get an appointment for ?¢‚Ǩ‚Äú well, like at other installations.
b. Family Practice: call early and you can get an appointment the same day. Docs are generally on time, staff is nice. c. Facility is new and bright.
d. Pharmacy is p-a-c-k-e-d. I?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢ve had 200 ppl ahead of me?¢‚Ǩ¬¶not fun. Recently, they have changed their system and
the waiting time was cut tremendously. Good time to pick up meds are Saturday mornings or weekdays evening.
e. I know that a few patient/families are being contracted out to other family clinics. Not quite sure which ones.
Special Needs:
My daughter as well as the other children have been accommodated in the Continuity Clinic. One doc for as long as either the doc or YOU are there. The physicians we had were very knowledgeable and for the first time in our military career the physicians actually helped me and reminded me of all the regular appointments that my daughter needed. Very nice and especially supportive.
Overall:
I like Madigan and the facility. With all the deployments..they are strapped with physicians.
?¢‚Ǩ‚Äú Dentist in Olympia:
Dr. Austin Smith, Yelm Hwy, Olympia, takes Tricare. Pediatric Dentist in Olympia:
Dr. Allinder good for regular kids check ups, takes Tricare. Right next to Dr. Austin Smith, very convenient.
