Doctors who know they will be prescribing a certain uncommon drug fairly often sometimes will have an agreement with a certain pharmacy nearby to keep it in stock.

That’s what happened with my Dad through his oncologist. He had his prescriptions and they told us we were free to go to whichever pharmacy we preferred, but the Walgreens across the street definitely had the medications on hand. I believe we got the first round of meds from that Walgreens, then after that we were able to go to the Walgreens by our house because there was some time between getting the new script and actually needing the med.
