Reason for starting
People desire that hometown feeling of the “local” drug store to get their prescriptions, ask medical questions and investigate and consider over the counter, holistic and other therapies. I enjoy working with patients and caregivers on helping people best manage their own best health and also make “customized medications” (compounded Rxs)
Biggest Success
Helping patients every day!
