Houston’s Tonna Pharmacy -personal touch in an urban setting

HOUSTON - June 9, 2013 - PRLog -- Houston, TX- Gloria Mbonu hails from far away Nigeria but with the recent opening of her Tonna independent pharmacy in Houston, http://www.TonnaPharmacy.com, she aims to bring, her signature brand of “the utmost personalized care,” to this big city.  Educated in her home country at the University of Nigeria – Nsukka in Enugu state, Mbonu has been a registered pharmacist since 1999. She spent 10 years at Harris County Hospital in Houston so her roots run deep in Texas.   Mbonu credits the strong clinical background she possesses to the experiences she gleaned in the hospital setting. “I was exposed to a broad spectrum of experience particularly with neonatal, senior, ICU and chemotherapy patients.” The veteran pharmacist likens the high level of attention she places on monitoring client improvement to drug therapy to that which patients receive in the hospital setting with medications being administered intravenously. “I think it is important to bring that same level of care to the outpatient clientele.  I reach out to both the patient and the doctor.  I take the lead in calling to look at all the issues of patient care.”

During her career, the mother of three also briefly worked with a large franchised pharmacy group and it was there that her desire to provide “one on one care that could improve a patient’s overall quality of life,” was born and that was the impetus behind her establishing Tonna Pharmacy.   In the heart of Houston then, Mbonu’s goal for her new community pharmacy is to offer, “A personal approach which goes beyond the ordinary.”   Clients can be assured they are not just a number, “I strive to help my clients focus on a healthy lifestyle and optimize their drug therapy resulting in positive patient outcomes.  “

While Mbonu strives to,”get more personally involved with the whole health picture,” of her clientele, it is providing for their care at an affordable price the makes Tonna Pharmacy equally attractive to new clientele.  Browsing the Tonna Pharmacy website provides a wealth of information.  Be sure not to miss the downloadable coupons available from drug manufacturers.
