Behrens Pharmacy Offers Free Doctor Visits and Prescriptions

BROOKLYN, N.Y. - Nov. 18, 2024 - PRLog -- 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, 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 one convenient solution. Behrens' 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 was so easy. Knowing there's accessible care like this makes a huge difference. This 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 and Well Revolution eliminate the need for separate doctor visits and extended wait times.

Michael Rubio, Clinical Director at Well Revolution, explains, "Bringing doctors into the pharmacy breaks down 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 via the pharmacy they know and trust, and leave with medication in hand."

A Legacy of Care
For over 165 years, Behrens has served Brooklyn with high-quality personalized care. The second-oldest pharmacy in Brooklyn has been run by the same family for 40+ years, including a father-daughter pharmacist team led by Dr. Vidhi Parikh. "We want to make healthcare simple and accessible," Dr. Parikh shared. "Hosting Free Healthcare Week shows 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. Prescriptions will be sent to Behrens for pickup. After Free Healthcare Week, the service remains affordable at $49 per visit, with no appointments or insurance required.
