I had many questions about a new prescription, so phoned to speak to the pharmacist. One question led to 100, and I covered more than a thumbnail sketch of my health history. I had the pleasure of speaking with Rene Garza for at least 30 minutes. He was caring, knowledgeable and patient. He answered all of my questions and had a few interesting suggestions for me. I have always known that pharmacists were a terrific resource (my first job as a teen was at an independent pharmacy), yet I have not ever been this well served! I will go out of my way to do business with this Austin pharmacy, and I

Rene at Stonegate Pharmacy in Austin was so helpful! He took the time on the phone with me to really explain the meds I'll be taking and even suggested some potential vitamins that could help as well and is going to research my actual DNA to see exactly what I should be taking! You could tell they really care at Stonegate, this could be life changing! Thanks again!

Rene also went over additional options with me because I was not too keen on injecting myself with a needle. When I say I spent a good twenty minutes on this call, I mean I spent a good twenty minutes, LOL. Thank you Rene G, you truly made my day by simply taking a portion of yours! You
