KENSINGTON PHARMACY WEB PAGE

During my visit last week to the recently-opened Kensington Pharmacy, I was impressed with head pharmacist Ruben Safir's willingness to share his knowledge. After reading an interview with him on the pharmacy's new web page, I'm impressed for two more reasons. The first is Ruben's appreciation of our neighborhood:

"Kensington is one of the truly great neighborhoods of Brooklyn. If New York City is the great experiment of freedom and ethnic tolerance, the mosaic of civilization, Kensington is the positive results of that experiment in full bloom. It is one of the most diverse communities in Brooklyn, and none of the groups really lose their identity in the mix."

The second is that his customers' needs get top priority:

"We are awaiting our medicaid approval but we are taking in those prescriptions at our own costs. Hopefully we will be able to recoup those costs later down the road when we get medicaid approval, but regardless we are currently absorbing those costs."

Ruben will be offering a diabetes clinic this week. Contact him for the day and time.

NEW PHARMACY ON CHURCH AVENUE

I went into the recently-opened Kensington Pharmacy today to see what it sells and ended up getting a medical education from pharmacist Ruben Safir. I also learned how cheaply over-the-counter products can be sold.

For people with dietary restrictions for religious or health reasons, Ruben carries kosher vitamins and other products, including prescriptions and over-the-counter supplies. They contain no gluten, lactose, artificial color, artificial flavor, animal derivatives, sugar, starch, gelatin, or yeast.

He sells hearing aid batteries and reading glasses, does blood pressure screening for free, and has free prescription pick-up and delivery every day of the week.
