<p>I&#8217;d like to tell you about a very special pharmacy I discovered many years ago in our community.</p><p>Its employees counseled me on the importance of multivitamins and when to take them. It&#8217;s not what you experience in your everyday drug store. They took their time.</p><p>Of greater importance was how they counseled me about potential interactions and how to avoid them. This matter was very personal to me. At all times, they related very well to my physicians and hospitals when I needed them. </p><p>Here are the reasons for my decision:</p><p>1. I found Cook&#8217;s Pharmacy of Shavertown welcoming, customer-focused, clean and well-organized.</p><p>2. The ownership, professionals and staff are knowledgeable, honest and accommodating.</p><p>3. Cook&#8217;s Pharmacy of Shavertown established open and high-level relationships with my physicians and hospitals.</p><p>4. Finally, I find them to be a home-grown community business whose operators care for our area and its growing senior population.</p><p>The choice of a pharmacy is vitally important, not only from a personal viewpoint, but also because I was a professor at Wilkes University. As such, the choice of a pharmacy to which to send students for internships was important, too. My choice of Cook&#8217;s Pharmacy of Shavertown remains very important because of my current position as professor emeritus.</p><p>Yes, I like everything about this pharmacy, both personally and professionally.</p><p><strong>Mahmoud H. Fahmy</strong></p><p>Dallas</p><style>
