Serving as a staff or owner/chief pharmacist for 25 years, delivering outstanding patient care to diverse populations and training technicians and less experienced pharmacists have been my cornerstones. Using my organizational skills and ability to quickly build rapport with patients, physicians, physician staff, and pharmacy personnel refined throughout my career, I accurately interpret, verify and expedite order processing with great efficiency. Most recently, prescription conversion to more cost effective alternatives has been of great interest to me. My experience, skills, and interests are best suited to consistently delivering care to patients more safely, efficiently, and cost effectively.
