Why use this local pharmacy? Because the owner, Amgad, actually cares about you, more than your money.
When I first dropped in to see what this new business was like, I was met by the phamacist/owner was friendly, funny, and most importantly, knowledgeable.
We talked for some time and I learned that having a relationship with your pharmacist is as important as the meds you are taking.
Knowing your health history and the meds you are on is an unspoken tool a pharmacist uses to guide and protect you from taking combinations of prescription drugs and/or over the counter products that you may not know conflict with other.
An hourly worker, typically not a pharmacist, at a chain store who doesn't know you is unlikely to to be aware of any problems that mixing meds might cause.
I cannot praise this little drugstore enough as the owner has helped me and my wife multiple times in the short period they been open.
Take some time and visit the store with your next prescription. You see a real difference in how you are treated. Oh, I almost forgot, you may save some money as well.
