Their drive-through service has become a nightmare. Every time I get in line it's 15 to 30 minutes. I figured maybe people had issues in front of me like it could easily happen but every time? In my case I'm pretty simple. I just need to pick up two existing prescriptions. The same prescriptions I've had for months. Prescriptions that you don't even need an identification. It still takes forever. They need to work on their efficiency. My God, another botched visit. I received text messages telling me prescription is ready. Now they can't find it. Ugggg read more

CVS is usually top notch in their service and product selection. One store associate was nice and helped us find what we needed. However, the cashier was very rude and snippy, and refused to honor my Extra Care coupon that was still valid today (1-28-26). But she indicated there were no coupons. I pay for this membership to benefit from the coupon deals. It is worth it but not if the coupons are not going to be honored. Maybe next time. read more

Ive been really happy with this CVS Pharmacy. Most everyone is really friendly and my prescriptions are on time.

Toxic. The staff was courteous but I went there 10 times and never got my prescription. I am very troubled I feel they #CVD did this to harass me. I asked the State, Carson Tahoe Behavioral Health, the IHS to help get my prescriptions. Finally I called the USPHS in Washington DC to complain. read more

CVS Pharmacy - Drugstores Near Me - Carson City, Nevada

I am new in Carson City and need a prescription for my ADHD, I chose this pharmacy because I always got my prescription filled in the Bay Area at CVS. I couldn't get it because the pharmacist told me I had to be a customer there for a year if I wanted my prescription filled because they had too many people and they couldn't take more. I was so disappointed because I have to wait now to get it and it's affecting me not taking it. read more

THE STORE This is a typical CVS store; No better, no worse. Maybe a shade smaller than the other locations, although you'd be hard pressed to prove it. The staff is friendly and a treat to visit when we shop here. The store itself is clean and usually has some decent sales. THE PHARMACY A few problems have arisen in the pharmacy. They've recently shortened their closing hours and I really needed that hour to get here at night. Most inconvenient because it's a bit of a challenge to drive through construction-war torn Carson City during the day. Not to mention it's out of my way by day but I pass it at night. Lately, they have a most annoying habit by where they can't find prescriptions in their computer. Three times in the last three months they tell me there's no record of my doctor requesting a script, only to send me a text in the next day or two that it's ready. When I return for my drugs they are always clueless as what happened. That's the part that angers me the most. Nobody ever has an explanation. Since this is all handled by computer you'd think it would be a little more seamless. Today Mrs. E. filled her first prescription in Nevada. During the process of creating her account it took the young lady over ten minutes to type basic information. Isn't it just a matter of changing her address from back east and updating her insurance carrier? The assistant began by asking if we lived in Maryland. What? No. Then she asked the same question repeatedly, only to ask it again 5 minutes later. No wonder the place doesn't run smoothly. I'm really a very patient man, but a mundane task like that should happen a bit quicker without re-asking for the same information over and over. It really turned my head when she was speaking to a coworker about how stupid the previous customer to us was. I am now searching out a replacement druggist, closer to home with some sharper people at the helm. 3/20 read more

Working in healthcare, I know how tough it can be to have more work than people to do that work. The pharmacy at this location is chronically understaffed, and it's starting to show in the turnover and obvious overwork of the employees. They work SO hard, and can just never break even. Having said that, my last three interactions have been breathtakingly rude. When inquiring about a scrip in process, the response was, "How should I know?" After 37 minutes when I was asked to wait 3, I waited again in line and asked for an update, apologizing but stated that I had to work that night. "Oh! You have to work? Good for you." was the response. On the third interaction, I called to make sure they had received the information they needed because my scrip was now 5 days overdue, and asked if it could be filled by the end of the day because I really needed it for the weekend. The response? "Not if I have to spend all night on the phone with you." The call timer was one minute and fifteen seconds. I generally think that if a person is having a lot of bad interactions, they are likely the one causing them. In this case, with three separate people on three separate days, I think that the employees are so stressed that they don't even have the energy for basic courtesy. It's an unreasonable environment for them to work in, and it's taking a toll on them and their patients. read more

Zero stars would be better. THE WORSTTTTTTT I waited for a total of 90 minutes. It's a long ugly story but based on the other reviews I'm not alone. I cannot believe this pharmacy even stays open. A few years ago I swore I would never come here again. I picked up a prescription for my sister a couple of days ago here and I actually it wasn't a TOTAL nightmare. So I thought I would try it again. I waited in line for 35 minutes and when I got to the front the lady told me it was their lunch time and they only had 30 minutes so I should come back in a half an hour. I did. That was 55 minutes ago. Supposedly they open 30 minutes ago. After I gave her my debit card to pay for the RX I was there for 25 more minutes because .....wait for it....the gas misplaced my prescription So many levels of incompetence it's unbelievable. I used to manage a medical office and I have never seen so many blunders. Never ever ever ever ever eve ever again. It would be faster to drive to Reno and back. Now I feel like I need a complimentary Valium read more

My wife picked up prescription for my daughter yesterday. The prescription was for 39 pills but there were only 30 in the box without any explanation. I have called twice and left voice messages once yesterday and once today still no return call. It would be helpful if they would return the call so that we would know what we need to do to get the remaining nine pills. read more

Earlier this evening we went to the Fairview Ln location to pickup a prescription. We got there at 6:55 but there was another customer in front of us getting his prescription. By the time the pharmacy tech finished taking care of this customer, it was already a few minutes past seven. The pharmacy tech was willing get my prescription, but the pharmacist told him not to do it because they close at 7. Not sure what the pharmacist is compensating for, but that is not a good attitude. I have been gettting my prescriptions here for the past 18 years, but the customer service at this CVS location keeps getting worse and worse. Time to move my prescription to a pharmacy that actually cares for its customer enough to hire competent staff. read more

Twice I've been in there And heard workers swearing... I swear, too but I don't at work. It's unprofessional. Today a worker in the front store said how she "feels like shit," loud and clear across an aisle to a coworker. She then went on and on about having chills and feeling sick.... not wearing a mask. Disturbing. On a happy note I really appreciate the ladies in the pharmacy. I know they are understaffed and overworked but they are always super helpful especially with confusing insurance issues! read more

For the love of God, hire staff! You are making money hand over fist, yet we have rediculously long wait times. I waited on the phone for 45 minutes only to have someone answer and put me on hold! 5 minutes later you disconnected the call. I went into the store the next day stood in line with 2 people ahead and waited for for 35 minutes. There were six people parked in the drive through. You have one woman working both the window and the inside pick up desk. You have one pharmacist, and you have one woman filling prescriptions and handling the inside drop off. this is ridiculous especially since you've initiated testing for covid-19 through your window. No, I don't want to be patient. read more

DO NOT GO HERE! The absolute worst experience ever. I cannot believe how incompetent the pharmacists are. I paid for my prescription online for efficiency, well this did the opposite. I spent 20-30 minutes in the drive thru line because the pharmacists were so confused by this, even though I showed them my receipt and the barcode for pickup. They kept asking how I was going to pay?! I literally told you I paid online and I showed you. They said they would have to contact someone to figure out whats going on. I asked if it showed as paid, they said yes. So then what is your confusion? They REFUSED to give me my critical meds. I have contacted CVS support because this is ridiculous. UPDATE: I called the pharmacy to get an update on the issue, I waited 22 mins and they HUNG UP on me. read more

My wife went in to pickup a prescription. It took 1/2 hour. The poor individual handling this was handling the in store counter and the drive up window. We are going to use COSTCO for our last minute orders. This place is grossly understaffed and mismanaged. Strongly suggest going elsewhere for your prescriptions. read more

ZERO STARS Where do I begin without writing an epic novel? They frequently close the drive thru or use it for clinical purposes, effectively cutting its use off to handicap people who need to get their scripts. I got trapped in the drive thru once behind two cars in heat of 102 for two hours while they covid tested two cars. $20 in gas for the AC to keep from roasting. Constantly rude staff. Constant errors. Super slow, incompetent, rude service. BUT I GOT THE SCOOP FROM THE PHARMACIST CHRIS!!! They again cut off the drive through and I get told in one instance by Alissa that I have to come in, and if I can't I have to find someone to go in for me. Huh? The pharmacist says he'll speak to her because they can help me in the drive thru. I did as I was told and went to the closed drive thru and called once there so they could help me. Alissa answered and decided to launch a frustrated attitude interrogation as to why I had to use the drive thru. Now I'm pissed. It's non of her business. I was told I could be helped and I was doing what I was told, so I give her attitude right back and told her because I'm handicapped. Does she want my medical records and a note from my doctor? WTF? Really? She shoves my meds in the drawer, and i put my handicap placard up to the window. She then proceeds to shout about how was she supposed to know. I informed her that the only thing she needs to know is what i told her when she answered the phone, and that was i was doing as another staff member told me. HERE'S WHERE CHRIS' INFO COMES IN.......... I called the pharmacy after I get home to speak with the manager about the situation. The pharmacist, Chris, proceeds to tell me...... They are permanently short staffed. CVS and Walgreens are buying up all the smaller pharmacies and dumping the workload into their existing stores without hiring more staff. They are unable to keep up with pharmacy work because they have too much clinical work. CVS refuses to hire more staff, despite the constant employee and customer complaints. The staff is all overworked, tired, angry, and ready to quit, so thats why they are unable to treat their customers with respect. As long as CVS treats them this way, that treatment will tend to be passed off to the customers, and thats just the way it is and will continue to be. So there you have it As a nurse, I've dealt with all of the above, just throw in some code blues and people actually dying, and if you behave the way these people are behaving, you find yourself looking for another job. As it is, there will be some communications between me, CVS Customer Relations, the BBB, and Americans With Disabilities on the government website. read more

Scheduled a COVID test, process was simple on line, drove through the pharmacy drive through, the experience was awful and unprofessional. I had a confirmation number and the process because they could not do what was required on their end took over 35 minutes for a scheduled test. I did not not appreciate the unprofessionalism, rudeness and absolute uncaring attitude from the male pharmacist. I do hope they can fix this process for future folks who require assist, as what they say is simple is a not and it all falls on their process. read more

Normally the service isnt that great at this CVS pharmacy, but I have to give this a 5 star review because Becca (I think that is the spelling) really makes a difference in the quality of service at this location. If CVS could hire and keep more people like her it would go very far in making CVS a lot better place. read more

I am a 4th generation Nevadan and have been to this store and pharmacy many times.The Pharmacy staff is fantastic.I have witnessed them be very kind to some grumpy ass people while working very hard! Next time you go in any store and get aggravated maybe ask yourself if it might be you that needs to adjust your perspective! Again these people have great customer service!!!! Lou- read more

I think we all need to give credit where credit is due and quit thinking the world revolves around only ourselves. Do they take a long time? Sure they do but look at what they have to deal with. People refusing to move or be patient. They are human and I personally believe they are doing the best they can with a crappy situation. I've also learned if you smile and show some grace and patience they will go above and beyond to help you. read more

Went to this CVS twice in the past three days for prescriptions. Each time I picked up at the drive through. The first time I waited a total of 4 minutes, my prescription was ready as promised and everything was correct, The person who helped me was efficient and pleasant. The second time, today, my visit lasted less than 2 minutes. A different person waited on me and she was super fast in getting my prescription and again, everything as promised. She was very cheerful gave me the feeling she was glad to help. I liked everything being completed as promised. read more

Hire more staff in the pharmacy or close the drive thru. I have been here at all times of the day and there is always a long line with one person working the register. HIRE MORE STAFF! read more

Until today I have had only very negative experiences with the pharmacy staff, I found them to be rude condescending and not at all helpful. I would have switched pharmacies months ago but my insurance insists I stay with CVS. Today , Kimberley changed my perception completely. She was very kind and helpful with excellent customer service. I hope her kindness and positive attitude rubs off on the rest of the staff. Thank you Kimberley for making my day better rather than worse. I hope your manager appreciates you! If I had only dealt with Kimberley from day 1 this would be a 5 star review. read more

This place is so slow. Had to wait in the drive though twice because the first time the prescription wasn't ready and the second time I waited for 45 minutes in line with only two people in front of me. Also the second time I arrived to the window they told me it was delayed another hour. Ended up without my prescription and had to transfer it somewhere else. read more

Easy as it gets. On my way home from Tahoe I needed a few quick items that were easier from a pharmacy than from a grocery store. Layout was clean and items were easy to find. Staff was quite friendly when they assisted me in finding one item that was hiding in and aisle I consider to be quite unrelated to my search! Parking was easy but I am downgrading the location because of the parking area. The lot itself is kind of a disaster with no clear route indicators and people driving every which way. Also, exiting back onto the main road is quite a challenge without a light as there is a constant stream of traffic. It took me almost as much time to get out of the parking lot as I spent in the store. read more

What exactly is the point of making an appointment for a vax, then using high tech wizardry to check in via your phone so that "someone will be right with you" if no one comes near you until you ask and then are told the "immunizer" will be with you in 15 minutes? And everyone in the building seems thoroughly grumpy. Not a happy place! read more

My experience with both CVS Pharmacies in Carson City, Nevada, have been absolutely the worst. However, I have had been a loyal customer to the CVS on Fairview Drive for years. It is always a minimum half hour wait in line to pick up my prescriptions. I received information that my prescription would be ready at 1pm. I showed up to pick up my prescription at 3pm. After waiting 45 minuets, I finally made it to the front of the line. The clerk proceeded to tell me my prescription wasn't ready and to go to the back of the line and it should be ready when I make it back up. Mind you, the line was 8 people deep, prior to that I only had 5 people in front of me and waited 45 minuets. I told them that I had already waiting 45 minuets and I would not be getting back in line. I asked the pharmacist to please fill the prescription for me as I was not able to come back that day due to time crunch and I was completely out of the prescription that is necessary for me. (we're talking one prescription 30 count) she refused me and told me to go to the end of the line. When I refused, the assistant manager was called and proceeded to scream at me to get out of line. I told her what had transpired and she told me if I didn't leave she would cancel my prescription completely. Cancel a doctor prescribed medication??? I was in complete shock. It was now about principle. I have never complained before, but this time I held my ground. I told her with all the time they had spent denying me, they could have had the prescription filled and I would have been long gone. She then proceeded to call the police. I just couldn't believe what was happening! Police showed up and I told them what had happened. They agreed that it was ridiculous how CVS staff was dealing with such a minor issue. Needless to say I received my prescription, thanked the officer and I was out of there never to return. The disrespect and horrible customers service was like being in the twilight zone!! CVS staff all need to be replaced. I have transferred all of my prescription to Costco Pharmacy. read more

Location for Review CVS on Fairway Blvd. Carson City After reading reviews here dating back to 2016 and current, it is sad to see that CVS Management has not addressed the consistent issues being reported. My experience today validates that I am not alone in the rude, unprofessional, and incompetent "service" provided at this pharmacy. For the few positive reviews on here, I am happy for you that you did not experience the negative encounters reported here. It appears that your positive experience is the exception to the "norm" here. For those that assume and accuse a negative experience on "grumpy ass" customers, the numbers here don't lie. All of these negative experiences cannot be wrong. As I have taught my children, "if one person complains about you, let it go. When two or more people have the same complaint about you, look in the mirror and see what needs to be adjusted". Same here with this business. All these customers cannot be wrong. Without the details of my experience today I will just highlight the behavior that has compelled me to write this review: 1. Incompetency 2. Rudeness from 1 technician in particular. Since no one was wearing a name tag, I do not know who she was. Tech #2 was a bit more polite but still very abrupt and annoyed by not only my transaction, but the 3 other customers I observed him waiting on. 3. Defensive - Annoyed right out of the gate. 4. Lazy - If Tech #1 would have listened to my question and done what I asked her to do, it would have saved me more than an hour of wasted time. 5. Uncaring - If I had not called the hospital and reported to them what was happening at the pharmacy, my husband would not have received his medications today. Pain meds needed after a surgery. The woman I tried explaining to her that a mistake was made would not listen and did not care. Then she was really pissed and rude when I returned to the pharmacy with updated info from the hospital and informed her that the RX had been called in and confirmed with the doctor. She then tells me "we are closing for lunch you will have to come back later". Tech #2 stepped in and spoke with the Pharmacist and explained the meds were post op and an error had been made (error was the pharmacy's, not the doctor) when the RX was called in at 10am The pharmacist filled the scrip as soon as he was able (a 20 minute wait). The woman not only never apologized but glared at me the entire time I was sitting in the waiting area. 6. Unprofessional - They close for lunch from 1:30-2:00pm. Tech #1 (rude woman) closed 2 of the 3 windows at the counter at 1:17pm and was literally yelling as customers approached the counter "we are closed!" I made a purchase at the front register. That Customer Representative was and is always very nice! I must stress that the negative service I have received here has only been at the pharmacy. The clerks at the front register are always great. I relayed to her what happened today and she apologized on behalf of the RX staff. I do intend to call the RX Manager, not that I have any expectations that it will change anything based on the reviews posted here. read more

It's a long story, as Gayle and I stopped at this CVS to pick up an "emergency" prescription. My usual 3 month mail order supply was delivered to the wrong address and both CVS Caremark and the US Postal Service went into verbal gymnastics overdrive to blame each other for the error. The tie was temporarily broken by a new script from my primary care physician, as it was clear that those 2 bureaucracies really don't care if you live or die because of missing meds. This folks behind the counter at this CVS Pharmacy couldn't have been nicer in filling the prescription and navigating the internal bureaucracy with CVS Caremark. Yes, they are part of the same company, but based on the required hoops that needed to be jumped, you would have never guessed. The bottom line is that I go my meds with a smile and a cushion for the next refill battle. read more

This is seriously the worst pharmacy I've ever been to. It doesn't matter if you've called it in and it's ready, you still end up waiting 30 minutes in the drive through. This was not a one time experience. Not sure what exactly is going on in there. Would change phatmacies in a heartbeat if my insurance would let me. read more

Honestly the COVID testing here is a complete joke. You make an appointment, the windows are 10 minutes apart - yet each car takes 30-45 minutes to get it done. Wouldn't you think it's simple corporate efficiency to book the appointments with a time period it actually takes to perform the task? This should seriously be evaluated. And most people are doing it for travel - so you can't even just leave you have to sit and wait for the inefficient process. I waited 2 hours and there were a line of cars behind me. Embarrassing process for a large company and a process that should be pretty straightforward. I have gotten these tests done many other places with very quick and efficient process. Never come back to CVS for this. read more

I am so disappointed with CVS Pharmacy on Fairview Drive. I called in to talk with the pharmacist. The first time I was on hole for more than 30 minutes and I had to hang up. The second time I was on hold for 29 minutes. When I asked to speak to someone about the long waits I was put on hold again. After 5 minutes I have decided to take my business someplace else. read more

Waited over 45 minutes in the drive trough lane to pick up a prescription. If they are that busy you'd think they'd hire more staff.

Horrible. I came here to pick up sudafed for my husband who was still eating at Q's. I have got them for him before, but it is not for me so I am not up on laws and stuff. Darlene, with the bad attitude asked me what strength which really means little to me, so I said I don't know just the little red ones. When she said they only come 10 in a box I questions that I usually have got 96, but just asked her to sell me 4 boxes. But she said I can only buy 1 box. Bottom line, wrong sudafed, so the husband walked right back to get the right stuff. Evil Darlene got completely nasty with him, said it was my fault because I asked for 24 hour. Refused to help him and further refused to sell him the right stuff. We complained to 2 managers and will make formal complaint to main manager tomorrow. Absolute worst service we have ever encountered in all of Nevada. read more

I'm always disappointed with this pharmacy. When you ask for auto refills it doesn't transpire. When I called to get a prescription refilled, They said they'd text and never did. I called the following day to find out they did not fill my script. . It seems as if people don't follow through with their job. I understand mistakes but on top of it, they act as if I'm imposing on getting my prescriptions filled there. They are not very nice. My suggestion is, if you don't like your job, get a new one. Now for the cashiers up front? They're kind, professional and courteous. 9-19-16 I am glutton for punishment. I'm still using this pharmacy and I was on hold a total of 24 minutes! Really!?!?!?!?! I'm moving to another pharmacy. And the lady on the phone could careless read more

They were extremely rude to us and instead of changing the brand-name prescription sent from the doctor to generic, they told us we didn't they didn't have it in stock. Didn't give us the option to change it to generic. They weren't even willing to go out of their way to call another location to see if they had it. So they made me drive all the way to south lake Tahoe to pick up the generic Humalog needles we needed. Which by the way they were super helpful at south lake Tahoe and very nice.My in-laws have come from out of town so they wanted to use the standing prescription at CVS. read more
