Bryan Pharmacy

“We don’t have customers, we have friends,” says Brett Bryan, Rph (registered

pharmacist) and owner of Bryan Pharmacy. Strong, individualized personal attention

tailored to each patient’s needs best describes the mission of this locally owned,

independent pharmacy. “We treat people like we would want to be treated, and in the

same way we would want our loved ones treated. Overtime, our customers become like

our family. We stress the personal touch in a day of large chain-pharmacies by

developing a home-town atmosphere of caring to our customers.”

By developing this “talking relationship” with his customers, Bryan learns each patient

not only in a technical sense, but in a caring and competent manner. According to

Bryan, when a person’s pharmacist does not know the patient individually, there’s a real

danger the person’s healthcare is compromised. People should use only one

pharmacist, and that pharmacist should know the patient’s medical history as much as

possible. Bryan Pharmacy stresses consultation with patients by his staff whether for

over-the-counter medication or a medical prescription. Bryan Pharmacy employs four

full-time technicians, one part-time delivery person, one vitamin/supplement specialist,

one customer service representative and one part-time pharmacist besides Nicki &

himself.

Lower prescription prices, prescription compounding, hospice expertise, natural

hormone replacement therapy and acceptance of Worker’s Compensation claims for

prescription medications are just some of the reasons a person would choose Bryan

Pharmacy. “We take all types of medical insurance to include: Medicaid, Medicare Part

D, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, all state and federal programs as well, Tri-Care, Med-Co, etc.

Of particular interest, DME (Durable Medical Equipment) consisting of: breathing

medication and diabetic supplies are available through Bryan Pharmacy, and they also

deliver them. The pharmacy will also bill Medicare/Medicaid for the DME, as well as

general billing for all patients’ healthcare insurances.

Bryan Pharmacy possesses all of the amenities of a chain pharmacy such a pilldispensing

robot by Scriptpro which automatically has the capacity to count 200 of the

most frequently written pill prescriptions. Bryan emphasizes the importance of a

pharmacist being “on the front line” protecting the public regarding the consumption of

prescribed and over-the-counter medications. Knowing the patient through

individualized knowledge of that person allows Bryan to best serve them. “Also, I’m a

compounding pharmacist, certified by the Professional Compounding Centers of

America. I can make medicines to meet a particular patients needs, whether it be a

hospice patient needing a trans-dermal cream or sublingual substance due to an

inability to swallow, or a child needing something ‘better tasting,’ I can do it.”

Bryan Pharmacy makes deliveries free of charge for prescription medications to patients

in the Enterprise, New Brockton, and Elba areas. Generics are also available for most

medications. At the patient’s request, Bryan Pharmacy will speak to the patient’s

physician to come up with a less expensive alternative if necessary. The pharmacy is on

staff for two facilities serving the elderly in this area.

Brett’s wife, Nicki, is also a pharmacist, and both are graduates of Auburn University’s

School of Pharmacy. Brett worked for nine years as a pharmacist for Rite Aid/Enterprise

before establishing Bryan Pharmacy in 2003; wife Nicki worked in the Troy area as a

pharmacist before joining Bryan Pharmacy. Store hours are Monday – Friday, 8 a.m. – 6

Brett would also like to introduce the world wide web to the same great customer

service our friends have come to expect here in Enterprise. We will be selling vitamins,

herbs & supplements via our new web-site. We will mainly use our web-site as a source

of information & contact for our current customers, but welcome anyone! Please do not
