26 DRUG TOPICS Oct. 13, 2008 www.drugtopics.com Cover Story Service Exceptional pharmacy and nonpharmacy services Dan Zatarski, PharmD, and owner of Ye Olde Pha rmac y in Milwaukee, prides himself on going the extra mile to help his customers. By way of example, Zatarski points to his alter ego, the Vitamin Coach, created to help customers learn more about what vitamins may be helpful in treating their ailments. The coach was actually the brainchild of Zatarski’s father-in-law, who opened the pharmacy in 1977. Zatarski, along with his business partner Drew Odem, bought the business in 2006. It wasn’t long before Zatarski started to learn more about his community and its pharmaceutical needs. That knowledge led Zatarski to begin offering “healthy living” sessions. Featured about once a month, the presentations are open to anyone interested in hearing about blood pressure, cholesterol, thyroid problems, or other health subjects. “Whenever I hear about someone’s fatigue or muscle aches, I start to think about what vitamin deficiency could be causing that,” he said. “That’s just how my brain works. That may not always be the case, but I just want to have all of my bases covered.” The most important tip that Zatarski said he can pass on to other independent pharmacies is to learn the names of customers. Knowing his customers has helped him get an edge on service in his area, he said. In fact, his larger competitors have even recommended his pharmacy’s services over their own. Zatarski said in turn, he is willing to recommend CVS or Wal-Mart pharmacies if those stores can better serve a particular customer’s needs. “Eve r y one who comes into our pharmacy has an issue that needs solving,” he said. “If I feel that a person’s needs would be better met by another store’s prices, then I have no problem saying so. They’re good at what they do, and we’re good at what we do.” Photography: Black Star / Thomas Edwards Ye Olde Pharmacy Dan Zatarski, RPh, PharmD http://www.drugtopics.com
