More importantly, does your pharmacist know you? According to Consumer Reports (March, 2014) “If you’re still going to a pharmacy chain for prescriptions, as do half of our readers, you might be missing out. Independents … earned readers’ top marks for speed and accuracy, courtesy and helpfulness, and pharmacists’ knowledge.” Consumer Reports also stated, “Establishing a good relationship with a pharmacist you trust is the No. 1 reason to choose a drugstore”, says Lucinda Maine, CEO and executive vice president of the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy. “You can and should expect your pharmacist to be both accessible and knowledgeable,” she says. “If he or she is not, then you should take your business elsewhere.” We offer personalized packaging options (individual dosing, bubble packaging and strip packaging) to enhance medication safety and adherence. Our pharmacists are available to review and discuss your medication therapies and answer any questions you may have.
