    In the continuing saga of our issues with this pharmacy, we were texted yesterday that our prescription for our cat was ready to pick up. We drove out there and lo and behold no one could find it. We noted a five dollar charge for delivery had already been placed on our credit card and looked in the delivery box. Guess what they found? Of course, no one was able to explain why it had been relegated to the delivery box when we specifically stated to at least three people that we were going to pick it up from now on. We received the usual apologies for which we queried why be sorry if you have no intention of changing the system and correcting the issues we have presented to you for the last two years? For the last four years we have had our cat's Phenobarbital compounded by Don's, now Sierra Compounding Pharmacy. We have nothing but problems each month when we try to refill the prescription. First, we were told it had to be refilled every two weeks because the solution was only viable for two weeks. When I questioned this because our previous pharmacy filed for a 30 day supply, they suddenly changed it to a 30 day supply. They too, I've lost track of the number of times we've called to see if it's ready, driven to pick it up, only to be told the prescription isn't ready. They even call and give us a day when it will be ready and it's not. And I should also mention the circus with refills remaining as we have been told numerous times we have no refills left. Now mind you, the current medicine bottle says three refills left, but we call our vet, and sure enough, his records match what's on the current bottle of phenobarbital. If this has happened once, it's happened about a dozen times. Most times after an extensive conversation they look it up and find, lo and behold, we do have several refills on file. Because we have made continuous complaints about their incompetence, their service recovery option for us was free deliver it to our home. But this week, my husband once again called about a delivery that was expected last week. He was told it would be delivered today for sure, and when it was delivered not only had the price of the medicine gone up, but there was an additional five dollar delivery fee. My husband called and after talking to four people, got them to reverse the five dollars, but we were advised that in the future there would be a five dollar delivery fee. There are no words to describe the incompetence of Sierra pharmacies. They obviously do not learn from their mistakes and are not interested in correcting them. I can only repeat my first realization that if they are unable or unwilling to accurately fill a s a cat, whose script has not changed in four years, I can only wonder the horrors they create in their human patient prescriptions. One star is too good for them, they don't deserve any stars.

    They have such nice purses!

    One of the best pharmacist in Reno. The only pharmacy in northern Nevada that compounds medication. The best staff ever.

    I dropped by CVS Pharmacy yesterday to do an exchange on some purchases. When I arrived in the…read morestore there was only one other person in queue and as I waited a couple more customers lined up behind me; other than that, the store wasn't too crowded on a Friday afternoon. When I stepped to the cashier, Rochelle, she patiently listened to my request and earnestly accommodated. The transaction was quick and pleasant even though she was handling both the manual and self-check out sections. Overall, our interaction was positive and professional.

    I don't know how much of the fiasco is this location's fault and how much is the corporate system's…read morefault. I do know that it took 4 days and multiple communications with my 2 doctors and the pharmacy to get a refill on my prescription that has been on file with CVS since 2014. There is no excuse for requesting the refill from the wrong doctor or having a phone number on file that hasn't been used in over 12 years or giving me instructions that I followed that were wrong. Finally, there is no reason for my doctor to have had to submit the new Rx via fax 3 times before they finally got it, I haven't decided whether or not to change pharmacies only because,as I said at the start of this review, I don't know who is to blame. I do know we all have to be careful with our prescriptions no matter what pharmacy we use. One last note...despite being told that I would start receiving text messages from CVS regarding the status of my prescriptions I did not receive any notification.

    Worst experience ever!!!! I had just had dental implant…read moresurgery (5/20/2026) and this Walgreens has never treated me so badly!!! My doctor sent the 5 prescriptions in a week or so prior to my surgery. It was made clear to Walgreens these meds were for surgery purposes yet I had to wait over 24 hours and then another 20 minutes at Walgreens because they DID NOT HAVE MY MEDS READY!!! They did not text me when my meds were ready. They did NOTHING but waste my time. The old lady behind the counter completely ignored the fact I was standing there with a swollen face and crying my eyes out from the agonizing pain of dental implant surgery I was becoming very angry. If you people don't want to work then don't get a job in the medical field!!!! If you don't care about people don't work in the medical field!!! It's clear these people have no compassion for anyone. I won't be using this pharmacy again if I don't have to!!! They quoted me $60 out of pocket for the medications yet when I got there they charged me almost $80!!!! They're becoming another Walmart and I refuse to be subjected to such incompetence.

    Came all the way to Reno from Rocklin with a nice comped room at the GSR, ready to enjoy some…read morecocktails and good food when I realized....I totally didn't pack my medications! Aaaargh!!! I ran a Google Maps search for Walgreens locations near me, and this location popped up. I figured I'd try calling, and it was a Christmas miracle because there was NO hold wait! I usually have to sit on hold with other Walgreens locations so long that I don't even bother calling anymore; I just show up. Not this location! I got immediate assistance on the phone, and not only was she able to accommodate me for the 2 days of medications I needed, but she also applied a coupon that made my out-of-pocket expense VERY low. Not a normal Walgreens-- this location is JUST the pharmacy, but it is a lifesaver with awesome service!! Thank you so much to the awesome staff here for an all-around job well done!
