har, as is added-value customer service:
he offers free health checks daily from
11 AM to 5 PM, including blood pres-sure,
body mass index (BMI) and blood
sugar screenings. Upon request, clients
also have access to Medication Therapy
Management (MTM), a free consulta-tion
from Dr. Khundhar on how to bet-ter
manage and better balance intake
of multiple medications; this service is
especially useful for those with diabetic
and/or cardio medical issues who are
also consuming supplements and over-the-

caring attitude, and eagerness to
help with the individualized needs of all

Dhaka Pharmacy an important part of

and his staff at 45-04 Greenpoint
Avenue, just a short walk from the 7
train station at 46th Street/Bliss in
Sunnyside.
