The Art of Medicine

Might seem like an unconventional thing to review a fellow pharmacy owner, but it seems like something I have a far more relevant opinion on than food or wine… and the holiday spirit has moved me. Since I opened my own pharmacy almost 3 years ago, I’ve found other independent pharmacists to be overly petty and insanely competitive, often to the point of being deceitful. Jack and the Art of Medicine have proved the complete opposite. Jack has been willing to help patients ‘in need’ get vet compounds or prescriptions that I unfortunately didn’t have in stock or couldn’t get in time. He has always provided thoughtful and timely service, whether its to me or anyone I’ve referred to him.
I would far rather recommend someone looking for a pharmacy go to a knowledgeable independent, such as the Art of Medicine, and keep the corporate giants aligned as my true «competition». Art of Medicine is a just that, and I’d highly recommend them for someone looking for a pharmacy.

My beloved 19 year old cat developed hyperthyroidism. Unfortunately, he is also not great at taking oral medications. Companion Pet Hospital suggested a transdermal alternative. Art of Medicine has been patient and thorough with their explanation of dosages. They were very kind, understanding, and worked with me in reformulating the medication to the volume I thought would work best for my cat.

As a previous medical assistant in a podiatry office and current student at Temple University School of Podiatric Medicine, I have had the pleasure of working with the staff of the Art of Medicine in regards to supplying patients with various topical ointments. Their professionalism and dedication to their customers is outstanding — absolutely a group of people willing to go the extra mile for others!
The prescriptions are always filled in a timely manner and patients are well informed of the products they are receiving and instructions on use. I would highly recommend this pharmacy to anyone!

I’m so thrilled that a place like The Art of Medicine exists in Center City now! Being able to approach pain/​symptom management in a more holistic way is really important to me, and I’m definitely against chronically medicating away problems that should be dealt with at the root. However, I know that acute things happen, and AOM has been really vocal and educational about managing pain safely and sustainably. Jack (the owner) is really passionate about his work and is great at educating the public on the value of everything from the aforementioned pain management (targeted topical creams vs. chronic use of gut destroying NSAIDs) to targeted supplementation and bioidentical hormones.
Most importantly, you can’t beat the level of caring and customer service you get from a pharmacist that really understands your symptoms and lifestyle and is as excited as you are to see you feeling better and living optimally.

I’ve been using The Art of Medicine for several months now. They have been great. Fast, reliable and great customer service. I would highly recommend using them!

Before Art of Medicine, I really didn’t know what a compounding pharmacy was. Jack (the owner) is incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to not only explain what a compounding pharmacy was but also how it can help me with my issues.
I have tried over the past few years to cut out excessive medication. I no longer take oral contraceptives, I avoid NSAIDs and other OTC pain relievers, and I generally try to only put whole foods and substances into my body and avoid as many artificial and processed things as possible. The Art of Medicine not only gets this (most other pharmacists/​doctors look at me like I’m some hippie dippy crazy person) but believes in this approach as well. Jack was able to get me exactly what I needed without resorting to NSAIDs and other nasty things that I was trying to use to self-​medicate. Jack checked in and followed up with me on my condition the way you WANT your pharmacist too. I asked Jack PLENTY of questions and he always took the time to answer me and make sure I was satisfied.
If you want a specialized and personalized approach to YOUR problems, not generic ones, then I suggest you check out The Art of Medicine and speak with Jack. It is empowering to take your health in your own hands and Jack is there to help you with that!

This pharmacy is amazing! Its unlike any pharmacy I’ve ever been too… I heard about it from a friend and decided to stop by. The pharmacist Jack (he owns the place!) talked to me and explained what kind of things he does which is good bc when i walked in i wasnt sure i was actually in a pharmacy haha. Ive been dealing with chronic knee and back pain for a few years and i haven’t found anything that really worked for me. Ive tried just about everything… extra strength tylenol, ibuprofen, meloxicam, naproxen, diclofenac and every over the counter cream on the market! Most of these drugs work really well but taking them long term has some devastating effects on your body! My doctor tried to get me to start taking tramadol and vicodin but i cant handle the nausea and drowsiness that comes with these and i just didnt want to go down that road. I explained all this is to the pharmacist Jack and he thought he could help. He got in contact with my physician and discussed previous treatment regimes that ive tried. A couple days later i went to pick up my own personalized pain cream! Theres several different drugs all in one cream! Nothing like this is available in your typical pharmacy… after a few days i stopped taking my oral meds and this has become my mini miracle! I highly recommend this place to everyone! Couldnt be happier with the professional care, respect and service i received from my new pharmacist, Jack

Jack was super helpful with getting my cat Cinnamon the medicine he needed. Very professional and was able to answer all my questions. I will definitely be going back.
