Why Sona Over Chain Pharmacies?

By Evan Bruder | May 2, 2017

“Is Sona a chain pharmacy?”

No. We are an independently owned and operated community pharmacy with one location in Asheville and a satellite location in Hendersonville.

“Oh, that’s great! What’s the difference between Sona and a big-box chain pharmacy?”

Well, I’m glad you asked…

Health care needs to be accessible. On your time, on your budget, and with the highest level of customer service. You shouldn’t have to walk past Bud Light, Kit-Kats, Tide to Go, stuffed animals, and two cashiers to get your amoxicillin. You’re at a pharmacy to pick up medications, and get healthcare questions answered. Plain and simple.

Sona’s guiding principle is to build personal relationships with customers to better their health. Our model is built around our customers. Walk in our door and you’ll see that healthcare doesn’t have to be a pharmacy tucked away in the back of the store.  

Apple saw the value in having the most highly-trained staff member as the first person a customer encounters when they walk in – Sona does as well. A clinically trained pharmacist will be the first person you see when you walk through our doors. Instead of building a “typical” pharmacy, we designed the building to be innovative and effective with maximum pharmacist accessibility – just like your healthcare should be.

The day and age where pharmacists count and dump pills is over. Other pharmacies might put their pharmacists in the back, but we bring ours to the front. Why? They’re our biggest asset in the fight to innovate healthcare.

Do you have a question about which allergy medication you should use? Ever wonder which foods your diabetic relatives can and can’t have? Need to know if a prescription may have side effects for your kids? Our pharmacists are eager to build a personal relationship with you and to become your trusted healthcare consultant.  

You might only get to see a doctor once a year.  Why not ask questions of our pharmacists that you can see dozens of times a year with no copay?

 

Healthcare is changing and we want to help lead the charge. Better serving our customers has and always will be our most important mission. If you’re ready to experience accessible and personalized healthcare, stop by Sona and give us a chance to win your business.

We don’t think you’ll ever look back.
