Behrens Pharmacy Offers Free Doctor Visits and Prescriptions

Brooklyn, NY – November 18, 2024 – Behrens Pharmacy, one of Brooklyn’s oldest and most trusted family-owned pharmacies, is introducing a new online doctor service for local residents. During Free Healthcare Week, November 18-24, Brooklyn residents can access this service free of charge, creating a seamless, one-stop healthcare experience.

Transforming the Pharmacy Experience

Free Healthcare Week introduces Brooklyn residents to in-pharmacy prescribing, combining doctor consultations, prescriptions, and medications in a single, convenient solution. Behrens Pharmacy’s new service connects patients with a doctor via text for consultations and prescriptions—all without extra trips or long waits.

For patients like Sylvia, this service has transformed how she views healthcare. “I texted a doctor, got thoughtful advice, and picked up my prescription on the spot,” she shared. “It saved me waiting at the clinic, and it was so easy. Knowing there’s accessible care like this in our community makes a huge difference. This truly feels like the future of healthcare!”

Bridging Medical and Pharmacy Services

In-pharmacy prescribing is made possible through a partnership with Well Revolution, a tech-enabled provider of on-demand primary and specialty care. By integrating doctors into the pharmacy, Behrens Pharmacy and Well Revolution eliminate the need for separate doctor visits and extended wait times.

Michael Rubio, PA-C, Medical Director at Well Revolution, explains, "Bringing doctors into the pharmacy breaks down traditional barriers to healthcare access. With in-pharmacy prescribing, patients no longer need multiple appointments or visits. They can get care in minutes from a doctor they meet virtually at the pharmacy they know and trust, and leave with their medication in hand."

A Legacy of Care

For over 165 years, Behrens Pharmacy has been serving Brooklyn with personalized, high-quality care. As the second-oldest pharmacy in Brooklyn, it has been run by the same family for over 40 years, including a father-daughter pharmacist team led by Pharmacy Manager Dr. Vidhi Parikh, PharmD. “We want to make healthcare feel simple, personal, and accessible,” Dr. Parikh shared. “Hosting Free Healthcare Week is our way of demonstrating how streamlined and patient-focused healthcare can be.”

How to Access

From November 18-24, Brooklyn residents can access this free service by texting “FREE” to 646-233-3485. They’ll receive a link to start a secure chat with a licensed provider, who can assess conditions like colds, skin issues, infections, and more. Necessary prescriptions will be sent directly to Behrens Pharmacy for pickup. After Free Healthcare Week, the service remains affordable at $49 per visit, with no appointments or insurance required.
