Village Apothecary is an old-fashioned community pharmacy offering personalized service, even curbside assistance and free home delivery for those who need it. A true apothecary, they practice the art of compounding, formulating medications and remedies for patients based on patient-specific factors rather than just issuing drugs from the major manufacturers.

“With compounding, we make medications from scratch,” Smoller says. “We base it on what the drug does, not what the drug manufacturer says a drug is for.”
