Originally founded by a pharmacist with a vision for personalized service, the business was sold in 1982 to Gene Woo, who led the pharmacy for over three decades. In 2014, ownership transitioned again, and today, the pharmacy continues its legacy of individualized care under the new leadership of Dr. John Yoo.
At the heart of Compounding Shop’s mission is its specialty: compounding pharmacy services. Unlike national chains such as CVS or Walgreens, a compounding pharmacy custom-prepares medications to suit specific patient needs.
“Not every medication that’s manufactured is the right strength or in the right form for a particular patient,” Office Manager Cheryl Davis said. “What we do is prepare the medication in the strength or form the patient needs.”
This could mean converting a tablet into a liquid for someone who can’t swallow pills, removing allergens like gelatin from capsules, or adjusting hormone levels to suit an individual’s treatment plan.
“We compound everything—hormones, creams, injectables and more,” Davis said. “That’s what sets us apart from many of the newer pharmacies that focus on just one trend or specialty. We offer a comprehensive range of compounding services across multiple areas of care.”
The range of specialties include:
- Colon, gastroenterology and urology
- Dentistry
- Endocrinology, obstetrics and gynecologist
- Neurology
- Ophthalmology
- Pediatrics
- Sinusitis, rhinitis and allergies
“We take quality and safety very seriously,” Davis said. “Many of our compounds are sent out for potency and sterility checks. Every chemical we use has a barcode. If it’s the wrong one, our system won’t let us move forward.”
As the demand for personalized medicine continues to grow, so does Compounding Shop Pharmacy. The business recently began expanding into the space next door to accommodate increased volume and provide additional workspace. It is expected to be completed within the next month or two.
Whether managing a complex medication regimen or seeking an alternative to mass-produced pharmaceuticals, Compounding Shop Pharmacy offers experience, flexibility and a level of care that’s hard to match.
