Who We Are
What We Do
This includes reviewing your medications with you, making sure you are taking your medications as prescribed, and ensuring you are on the right medications to keep you healthy. We may also offer suggestions to help lower your prescription costs.
“I really appreciated the flexibility and understanding shown when I had to reschedule a few times due to my busy schedule. The follow-up calls have been a great help, especially when my blood pressure was unusually high last week. It’s reassuring to know that someone is keeping an eye on things and checking in.
The assistance and reminders about monitoring my blood pressure and blood glucose, as well as helping me organize my prescriptions, have been invaluable. I also appreciate the information about 90-day prescriptions and mail delivery, especially since I’m no longer able to drive. It has made managing my health so much easier.”
