Summerwood pharmacy is an integrative and holistic pharmacy with a passion for empowering patients to thrive and take charge of their health. We partner with physicians to offer patients unique and personalized solutions for all needs. The community recognizes us as a local and independently owned pharmacy that delivers exceptional service, expert support and the attention patients need to manage their health.
As your local pharmacy, we offer quality products at affordable prices, while providing the personalized attention and customer service you expect from a local business. As your neighbors, we live, work and play in the same community as you and your family. We believe it is our responsibility to take care of our community and our neighbors, and it’s one we take very seriously.
In addition, we try to find the lowest prescription prices for our community. We will work with your insurance plans and physicians to find lower priced generic drugs whenever possible to keep your medications affordable.
