Very fast service, pharmacists always visible and accessible to customers, delivery 365 days a year, and billing for MediCare and MediCal are some of the reasons for West-Val Pharmacy’s popularity. You could call it a pharmacist’s pharmacy: it’s been around since 1959, and is known for medical supplies and equipment. Its head pharmacist, Sue Bentow, started there when she was a teen, 40 years ago.
A second generation professional, she’s the daughter of owner-pharmacist since 1962, Stan Goldenberg. Many employees have been there for two to three decades. Though it’s in a medical center, it’s an ideal neighborhood pharmacy with special services like prescription compounding, immunizations, flavoring for children’s prescriptions, and being open every day of the year.
