There’s something special about shopping local—and few things beat going to the neighborhood pharmacy. Owner and Pharmacist Brett Eisenman recently opened Alabama Pharmacy in the Crestwood Festival Shopping Center (7001 Crestwood Blvd., Suite 112), a full-spectrium independently owned and operated pharmacy. After working as a pharmacist for almost 10 years, Eisenman decided to open his own practice to “take the headache” out of ordering and picking up your medications. (They even offer patients free shipping!) One of the things that makes Alabama Pharmacy better than a large chain pharmacy is the personal touch.
“We really try to work on getting some of the newer medications [with] pre-authorizations that kind of get lost in the shuffle,” Eisenman explains. “We’re catering to those prescriptions that are a little trickier to get filled.” His goal? For you to enjoy coming to the pharmacy, like back in the day when the drugstore was the social, happening place to be in town—not just an inconvenient, frustrating errand you put off because you dread going. “We want to have Southern hospitality and a warm, inviting feeling here. Customer service is where we want to excel,” he states. They work with a lot of the local doctors around town and will go out of their way to help you get the medicine you need. You can call them at (205) 216-2373 or talk to your doctor to swap over your prescriptions today.
