• Dr. Lester Carter, Independent Pharmacy owner since 1967
• “The store is more than just a place to get a prescription filled”
• “It’s a matter of a lot of things,
courteous treatment, having what the people need, being a good listener to their problems and being able to formulate medications that solve their problems,” Carter says.
