Pharmaca Integrative Pharmacy opening in Los Gatos on Saturday, November 10th
Traditional and natural health care solutions with expert advice under one roof
LOS GATOS, Calif. (October 15, 2007) – Combining preventative health care with top-notch customer service, Pharmaca Integrative Pharmacy will open its newest store in Los Gatos on Saturday, November 10th at
54 North Santa Cruz Avenue.
As the all-in-one pharmacy, Pharmaca will offer prescription filling services, health and beauty products and unique gifts. The 4,000 square feet store will provide Los Gatos’ residents and families with a wide selection of dietary supplements, vitamins and herbs.
Pharmaca employs certified specialists to provide advice and assistance to shoppers. Naturopathic doctors, licensed estheticians and certified herbalists, homeopaths, nutritionists and pharmacists are consistently available for complimentary consultations.
The grand opening weekend will include the following health-oriented activities:
- Complimentary health screenings
- Makeovers and demonstrations of natural beauty products
- Complimentary chair massages
- Numerous free samples
- Gift with purchase of $50 or more
- Raffle of wellness gift baskets
“We are excited to extend our refreshingly customer-focused approach to health care to the Los Gatos community,” says Barry Perzow, CEO and founder of Pharmaca. “We look forward to introducing the neighborhood to the benefits of traditional and natural medicine in one location, and to the expertise of our knowledgeable and licensed staff for all their needs,” he added.
Pharmaca devotes a special section of its store to personal care and natural beauty, including a wide array of safe cosmetics and beauty products with natural and organic ingredients. High-end merchandise and exclusive spa lines fill the shelves. A beauty bar, complete with a sink, mirror and supplies, is also available for customer use.
According to the National Center for Complementary and Alternative (NCCAM)[1], 36 percent of American adults aged 18 years and over use some form of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). Often, however, consumers must fill their prescriptions in different places, and may find it difficult to access customized services such as compounding. Recognizing the strengths of housing traditional medicine and CAM under one roof, Pharmaca has revolutionized the concept of pharmacy in an environment that emphasizes patient advocacy and preventative health care.
Pharmaca’s full service pharmacy fills prescriptions from any provider and accepts most insurance plans. The integrative pharmacists provide customer consultations on drug/herb interactions and drug-induced nutrient depletions. Special compounding services are also available for general, pediatric and veterinary prescriptions.
Pharmaca currently operates 18 pharmacies nationwide, including two other Bay Area stores in Mill Valley and Novato, where its uniquely customized pharmacy experience has become a destination for health-savvy consumers.
