It is hard to believe that I have been compounding for 26 years. I had been a pharmacist who worked in retail pharmacy filling 300-400 prescriptions a day which for the most part meant either counting or pouring commercial medications. In 1984 I was offered a position at Expert Compounding Pharmacy and as they say, "the rest is history."
We began to compound prescriptions for patients as an additional service to our traditional commercial pharmacy. In 1998 the compounding business expanded enough to allow Expert Compounding Pharmacy to be one of the first "Compounding Only" pharmacies in the United States. Through the years we have established a well known reputation for our compounding skills. With our state of the art equipment and our on going participation in training for our entire staff we feel we provide only the best quality of products.
We first began compounding Customized Hormone Replacement for both men & women but over the years we have worked with healthcare practitioners in almost every specialty. Pain Management, Dermatology, Pediatrics, Dentistry and Veterinary needs are just some of the areas that we have helped to solve unique medical problems.
At a regular commercial pharmacy there seems to be a "one size fits all" approach to healthcare. As a compounding pharmacist I have been able to treat every patient as an individual because we customize every prescription we dispense. We work with practitioners to provide the most optimal healthcare available. The "one on one" relationship with those we serve is one of the main reasons I love my profession as a compounding pharmacist.

A history and a Love of Compounding
Speaking at the Monrovia Providers Group
I was invited to speak to this dedicated group of businesses formed to help senior citizens. I explained the difference between a regular pharmacy and a "compounding" pharmacy" to the Monrovia Providers Group. Many of the members are in the home care and senior care industries. Some of them were not aware of different options that were available for their patients like combining 10 pills into one making it easier for their patients to remember taking their daily requirements. I also explained that it is possible to remove lactose from certain medications for patients who are lactose intolerant. What was supposed to be only a ten minute presentation lingered on because of the many questions that followed.
Don't forget, I am available to speak to businesses and organizations who are interested in learning the advantages of compounding pharmacies.
