CLOSE RELATIONSHIPS
Independent pharmacy owners
often live in town or nearby, and pride
themselves on close relationships with
their customers. They monitor patients for
adverse effects and medication adherence.
This relationship allows you to speak
directly with a medication expert to assess
and discuss specific drugs.
“We know the customers. They are
not just a name on an insurance card,”
Dominguez says. “We know the details
of a person’s history, their family.”
Miller takes pride in knowing just
about every person who walks through
the door. “If we see a change in a person’s
health, we can discuss and report it to the
doctors,” he says. “We want to build trust
and get to know the person.”
J&J Pharmacy in Teaneck has been
open since 1946 and opened a second
store in Hackensack in 2008. They have
more than 650 house accounts with
customers who have been coming in for
more than 50 years. The owner, Michael
Fedida, stresses the importance of loyalty
and getting to know his customers.
“We are helping others in time of
health and need, and work extremely
hard to make every customer happy and
feel better,” says Fedida, who is co-owner
with his wife, Ellen. “We know personal
information – ranging from their kids
names to their allergies. We are problem
solvers and have great relationships with
doctors in town and in the area.”
SPECIALIZED ITEMS AND SERVICES
Some independent pharmacies offer
organic over-the-counter medications,
homeopathic and herbal remedies.
Others have a large selection of medical
equipment, including durable goods
needed for the infirm, and breast pumps
for nursing mothers.
Glen Rock Medical specializes in
medications to treat infertility, as well
as injection training and financial plan
options. Town & Country in Ridgewood
is well-known for its quality makeup
department and its watch repair kiosk.
Miller’s Pharmacy has an area specializing
in orthopedic braces and medical
stockings.
UNIQUE GIFTS
Admit it – you’ve sometimes been
caught without a gift for a special
occasion and no time to head to the mall
or buy online. While you can buy boxed
candy and seasonal novelties at a chain
drugstore, many of Bergen County’s
independent pharmacies offer unusual,
high-quality gift items – and some will
even wrap gifts for free.
THE LITTLE EXTRAS
Some independent pharmacies offer
things like a notary public, copy and fax
service, and concierge service. Town &
Country even keeps umbrellas by the
front door that you can borrow if caught
in a rainstorm. ■
