The people
Pharmacists you know by name
Ioana Păltineanu opened the Castanilor pharmacy in 1998, in her grandparents' house. Today she works with three more pharmacists and four assistants, and half the customers call her by her first name.
That is what independent means: no sales targets per product, time to ask what else you are taking, and to tell you when two medicines should not be combined.
- Chief pharmacist: Ioana Păltineanu, member of the Brașov College of Pharmacists
- 4 pharmacists, 4 assistants, 2 pharmacies
- Advice in Romanian, English and German

“
★★★★★
My mother is 84 and housebound. They bring her medicines the same day and call her beforehand. For us that is everything.
“
★★★★★
I came in with three prescriptions from three doctors. The pharmacist noticed two of them clashed and phoned the surgery. No chain does that.
“
★★★★★
The only pharmacy where everything is explained to me in English, patiently. They also gave me my flu shot in ten minutes.
