We modify dosages, remove allergens, and prepare medications in various forms like creams or liquids when commercial drugs fall short. Our pharmacists work directly with prescribers to develop unique solutions for patients with specific requirements, including flavoring options for children and pets. This service ensures patients receive precise treatments that match their medical needs and administration preferences.
Medication Synchronization
This program aligns all prescription refill dates to a single monthly pickup day. We coordinate with physicians and insurance providers to streamline medication management, reducing multiple trips to the pharmacy. Patients receive organized medication packs labeled by date and time, improving adherence while allowing dedicated pharmacist consultation time during each visit to address medication questions or concerns.

First of all, I had no idea they sold single Covid tests opened with instructions. Either theyre opening the quickvue tests and charging a whopping 28 dollars per test. Sounds like price gouging to me. Ill contact the city but this is disgusting.

They couldn't address my medical supplies needs but referred me to someone they thought could. Small act of kindness but it was much appreciated.
