Everyone should have a go-to pharmacist like Joe Z. from ECO Pharmacy; - I'm talking EVERYBODY…read more And I can say this because there is something extra special about ECO Pharmacy and that would definitely start with and be due to Joe Z. , the dedicated owner and sole pharmacist of this establishment who happens to be there every single day Monday thru Saturday during business hours. - That's dedication and passion right there and if you go in yourself and talk to Joe, you'll know and feel exactly what I'm talking about.
I had such an unexpected/above & beyond positive/memorable (first of many) visits to ECO Pharmacy and this is due to it being way more than just a pharmacy.
How'd I find this? Let me share :
I happen to charge my electric vehicle in the same parking lot that is in the vicinity of many businesses including this special gem of a pharmacy. So, while charging my vehicle (aporox 8-9 days ago) , I took my pup for a walk and while passing by, I looked through the glass and noticed an array of. organic teas, herbs and other unexpected items I didn't expect to see so I had to go I am on in and check things out for myself.
Upon entering, I was greeted by Joe and he stopped what he was doing, gave his full undivided attention, and took his time to thoroughly answer several different questions; - (yes, I have an inquiring mind) regarding liver cleanses, beneficial vitamins, supplements, drug free remedies, teas and more. The senior (whom is as good as family) that I have been assisting/taking care of for several years has recently been stricken with some other major & unexpected ailments (putting it mildly).
We have become very serious about taking other routes excluding (first & foremost organ damaging) drugs. If there are natural remedies that could do the same as some of his prescribed medications (that he's been taking for 20+ years) , - then we are all for it and open to trying these other non harmful options.
After explaining some of these issues with Joe, he graciously took this time to explain what different herbs & teas were good for particular ailments and recommended a couple of natural and drug free remedies. I left with a mix of organic herbs, teabags, liver cleanse, free samples, a natural CBD product for relaxation, and more.
And regarding pricewise, -no more expensive then the big chain stores. Nice.
Oh! Joe even extended his help to my pup, who is going on 15 years old and has issues with his joints and anxiety. I ended up leaving with a bottle sample of 100mg tuna flavored CBD oil that I have been giving to my pup daily and he seems much more at ease. Thanks for that as well, Joe.
And if you know me, I especially like to give attention and credit where credit is due (In this case, overdue!!) to Joe and his passion and empathy and more for Eco Pharmacy and the services he extends to Everyone smart enough to walk through that front glass door.
I'll definitely be getting all future prescriptions right here and I have a couple to switch over for the senior that I take care of.
This will be our go to spot as long as we are in Florida and it may be permanent. Time will tell and if so, I definitely would like to have one regular primary pharmacist. It just a lot more personal and simply smart if you really care about your health and/or loved ones, etc. etc.
Bottom line, - I'm looking forward to my next (very soon) visit and receiving some more valuable advice that I feel confident about.
Lastly, I am proud to say that I'm the first to review this extra special pharmacy! :)
