Who We Are
Founded in 1987 by pharmacist Doug Olson, Loma Linda Pharmacy was built on a simple yet powerful belief: patients always come first. At a time when many pharmacies began prioritizing volume and corporate metrics, Doug chose a different path—one rooted in personalized care, genuine relationships, and unwavering dedication to the well-being of every individual who walked through the door.
For over three decades, Doug became a trusted name in the Loma Linda community—not just as a pharmacist but as a neighbor, caregiver, and advocate for better healthcare. His impact wasn’t measured in prescriptions filled but in lives touched and health improved.
When Doug retired in 2020, his legacy didn’t end—it was carried forward. Pharmacists Sagar Bhakta and Viraj Patel, both inspired by Doug’s patient-first philosophy, assumed leadership with a shared promise: to continue delivering the same compassionate care, personal attention, and integrity that have defined Loma Linda Pharmacy from the start.
Today, under their stewardship, Loma Linda Pharmacy remains an independent, community-focused pharmacy where innovation meets tradition. Whether it’s managing chronic conditions, providing wellness guidance, or simply taking the time to listen, we honor the trust our patients place in us, just as Doug Olson always did.
