Why?

We love being an independent pharmacy where we can take the time to get to know our patients and treat you like our family. We want to bring back the idea of a caring pharmacy the community can rely on. All of our staff have joined our team because they believe the pharmacy experience should be personal. We understand every person has a different story with different medical needs. We want to be a place everyone can turn to and receive dependable advice and information. We are here for any of your medical questions or concerns and will take the time to get to know you and your unique health needs.

Who?

Our team is comprised of a pharmacist who has spent 8 years earning her Doctorate degree in pharmacy so she can be used as a trustworthy source of information. Our manager has been at this same location working as a pharmacy technician and manager for over 15 years and is dedicated to ensuring all of our patients are treated with respect and kindness. We have an additional 3 technicians to ensure that every customer is helped in a timely manner and allows us to ensure the lowest waiting time in the area.

What?

We accept most insurances and will always try to give you the lowest prices possible. We know how important your health is and want to do anything we can to help you receive your prescriptions worry-free. We offer free delivery Monday - Friday to local residents, an autofill program where we can ensure you always get your prescriptions on time every month, and will always work closely with all your doctors to make sure you are getting the best treatment available. We can't wait to have you stop by and meet our team!

The Pharmacy Team

Raj - Rph, London School of Pharmacy

I received my pharmacy degree from the London School of Pharmacy in 1983. I owned my first pharmacy in London before moving my family to Tampa and continuing my career here. I bought this pharmacy in 2008, and my wife and I have dedicated our time since to becoming a permanent location for our patients to receive the best care possible in a family environment. Our patients’ satisfaction always has and always will come first.

Puja Patel - PharmD, USF

I pursued my Doctorate degree in pharmacy so I can be used as a trustworthy source of information in my community. I want to help people in any way I can, which includes gaining my patients' trust so they know they can always come to me with questions. My goal is for every patient to have access to the best health outcomes possible and always be happy with our service here at the Medicine Shoppe.

Chris Carranza - PhT

I am a technician who has spent my entire career at this store. I have formed friendly relationships with many patients as they know they can trust me to always find the information they need. I will always reach out to our patients to let them know of any changes or recommendations we see in their medications to ensure accuracy and transparency between themselves, their doctors, and us as their pharmacy.

Yeney Alonso - PhT

I am a bilingual technician who greets every patient as they walk through the door. I spend most of my time interacting with patients while dropping off and picking up their prescriptions, so I know almost everyone by name. I enjoy speaking to patients about their day and discussing any concerns they have about their healthcare.
