I was at this pharmacy recently to receive the newest Covid booster from Thomas, the pharmacist on duty. As far as getting vaccines go (and I am not a big fan of needles), Thomas made the whole experience practically painless! He even explained to me how the muscles are formed and how it matters where you get a shot in the arm in order to make it as pain free as possible. When asked, he further patiently explained the probable reason why I may have felt more of a stinging sensation with the flu vaccine that I received a couple weeks prior by someone else. Between our vaccination experiences here and our interactions when getting prescriptions filled by various staff, we are super pleased with this Safeway Pharmacy. read more

I received my latest Covid booster today from the Pharmacy Manager Nazanin K. She was very friendly and knowledgeable, and made me feel at ease. She went above and beyond with her excellent customer service to answer my questions, as I am newly retired and relocated to Reno. I would highly recommend this pharmacy. I then completed my shopping and received a 10% discount on my groceries from the very friendly cashier! read more

Pharmacist, Thomas, goes above and beyond. He is caring and knowledgeable. I highly recommend the Safeway Pharmacy on Mae Anne.

I just received my TDAP + influenza shots today at this pharmacy and our pharmacist manager, Nazanin was such a pleasure. So happy and so gentle. Easiest vaccine I've ever had. We were in and out in 10 minutes. Thank you Nazanin for making our day! :) read more

I went in to have a prescription filled for my cat. The girl waiting on me, maybe she was new, didn't know how to help me and when she said it would cost $45 or $46 I showed her the GoodRx coupon. She told me that I need to sign up for the gold GoodRx to get the price that was showing, which is not true. I asked how I could get it for less if she wouldn't take the GoodRx coupon? That's when the jerk, male, pharmacist said, "What, do you want it for Free?!!!" So unprofessional. I said I want my prescription back, she said I already put it in the system. I said , I don't care I want my prescription back! She gave it back, finally. I went to Walgreens and their price was, get this, $5.00. No i will not recommend this Safeway pharmacy just for the unprofessional persons working there! Especially the jerk pharmacist!!! Negative 100 stars! read more

See all

I am very pleased with the Safeway Pharmacy on Mae Anne in Reno. Every staff member is very friendly and cares about my satisfaction with my experience there. I can only assume that management must be the driving factor behind creating such a kind and competent staff. As a former manager, I've always believed that whatever is at the top, flows downhill. Great job Safeway Pharmacy! read more

Definitely great service, I went in to pick my medicines up the lady was super nice and helpful and explained my medicine to me.

I recently visited safeway pharmacy and had a fantastic experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm smile and friendly hello from the pharmacist manager :) read more

This pharmacy is a disservice to the community. After two call in prescriptions in a two week period, never again. Both were bungled horribly. A three day delay on a simple diuretic and the second prescription I was told maybe they would have it filled in another day...for a stat order. I had it changed to another pharmacy and it was ready twenty minutes after my Dr's office sent it. Six or seven years ago this was a well run pharmacy. Now it's the twilight zone. read more

Friday, 7/1/22 Do not ever go to the Mae Anne Safeway pharmacy! EVER EVER EVER!!! & I'm serious. I have been going to this pharmacy off & on for over 30 years.The pharmacist I knew for years, "A**", left last week. The new person/pharmacist Nazzy is a horrible, condescending person. I get a certain drug every month for over 6 years at Safeway and over 10 years total. we have to see the Dr every month to be able to take certain meds long term. My most recent refill was sent in by my dr on 6/29. After my telemedicine appt I go to the pharmacy and told them I was there and I'll wait for my prescrip. I was told by the Nazzy person we no longer can get certain drugs every 28 days. This Nazzy person went on to say the longtime pharmacist "A**" is gone & she was doing many things wrong. She made it sound like "A**" was breaking the law. I've watched "A***" for years. She is very easy to get along with. Very nice woman. Hard hard worker. but the support staff out front make her & the whole pharmacy look bad. Nazzy went on to say she couldn't fill my scrip till Friday 7/1. I said I would be there this Friday (today) at 9 am & she said she'll be there at 8 to make sure it was ready. (lie). Of course I get there and Nazzy isn't there and I say I'm here to pick up. They say you have to wait one more day to 7/2. You have got to be kidding me and I got really really mad. All the years of putting up with the Safeway pharmacy treatment just made me lose it . I want to apologize to the workers but I will not because some of the workers that day are the very ones that treat me and the other customers horribly. The ones that really make me sad are the older people who don't understand what they are up against at this pharmacy. Such ugliness for no reason and Nazzy will fit right in. Nazzy is the new pharmacy mgr and they say she called in and had Benjamin and Sara say they called my Dr a few minutes before. They say my prescription is pulled and I need to go somewhere else. NO PROBLEM. I should have left this pharmacy years ago. They did not call my dr. or do anything. The sweet girls at my drs office got it pulled & moved me to Walgreens. I should have left years ago. The revolving workers at safeway pharmacy are put out if you ask them to help you & then they look at you like we're crazy for asking them to do their job. The turn over is very high. how can a business be run like this? They need a strong manager & "A**" was that but she was so overworked it was awful. She needed real help. Not people that are put out by having to help a customer, which is their job. You have this great pharmacist working very hard behind the scenes & all these rude workers that change every week or every day being the face of this great pharmacist and the Safeway pharmacy. My heart breaks for "A**" & I hope she takes a good rest and gets a new job where the company she works for supports her. "A**", at times over the years, would be filling prescrips and waiting on customers. Remember, look at other reviews here ....It's not just my opinion that the revolving workers they have out in front at the customer counter have horrible attitudes & treat people almost inhumane. I liked "A**" so we stayed. We should have left years ago. I moved my prescriptions to Walgreens and as I sat & waited for my prescrip & watched the workers & pharmacists work it was such a pleasure to see nice people treating people humanely. Omg. The rotating Safeway pharmacy workers would never treat customers the way the Walgreens workers nicely treated customers and each other, their co-workers, including me. My scrip was ready in 30 minutes & I didn't have to feel guilty about coming to their pharmacy & bothering them like the rotating Safeway pharmacy workers make many customers feel. Oh & Nazzy is wrong. Walgreens allows customers with certain kinds of meds to fill every 28 days. It's not illegal as that horrible Nazzy person said. read more

The ladies who work here might actually be the rudest people I've ever meant. I can't believe how disrespectful and mean hearted they are. The one with the darker hair (maybe the pharm tech) loves to belittle people and it's honestly embarrassing, like straight up second hand embarrassment for her... You literally go in and ask them to fill a prescription since it's their job, and it's like they can't even believe you would ask them to take the time out of their day. They clearly hate their jobs, so Safeway, you might as well fire them to put them out of their misery. You'd be doing them a favor. read more

The people that work here are extremely rude, it takes 2-3 days to get your prescription filled and they love telling you your stuff isn't ready and to come back 2-3 hours and when you come back, it's still not ready. read more

I always get my immunizations at the Safeway Pharmacy on Mae Ann because they have this wonderful waiting room. You don't have to wait in a noisy and freezing cold supermarket but in a quiet and private environment. Today was particularly easy-breezy because of the pharmacy manager Nazanin. She was warm and professional and those shots were over quick! read more

Best pharmacy in town, very helpful pharmacist, good pricing and quick turnaround. I highly recommend this pharmacy

Dr. Nazanin is truly amazing! She is very friendly and knowledgeable. The staff is excellent!

The lady at the pharmacy was extremely rude, hostile, and demeaning. When I tried to simply call her out on it, she just walked away. This place needs to work on their customer service so they don't keep treating people like this. What a shame that a pharmacist or pharmacy tech that has to work in healthcare is blatantly rude and demeaning. If you hate your job so much, then do something else because if you are in healthcare and you treat people like this then you clearly don't understand your job. Have some more compassion and kindness, and at least have basic manners, which you clearly don't have. read more
