Olga Milchin Shevchenko
MPharm, RPh, Pharmacy Manager/Owner
Hello, I am Olga. I am happy to share with you my 20 years of experience and knowledge as a pharmacist in Canada and abroad.
I was born and raised in Ukraine. I graduated from Pyatigorsk Pharmaceutical Academy, Russia, and spent most of my pharmaceutical career practicing in Israel before immigrating to Canada in 2015.
I have been serving Cowichan and Nanaimo communities as a licensed pharmacist since 2017.
I was dreaming about opening my own pharmacy literally since I was a child. Both my parents are pharmacists. I always enjoyed spending my school breaks at my mom's pharmacy, watching her give advice to patients, and learning about medications.
Now as a mom of two young kids myself, I have shaped my personal preferences for work-life balance, healthy food choices, as well as mental and physical well-being. That is why I am so excited to finally be able to open my own very unique and cozy pharmacy, conveniently located at Purely Wellness Centre building.
What is so special about mettra Pharmacy Duncan?
It is a brand new, 100% woman-owned independent pharmacy, with personal attention to every patient and their needs.
It is a blend of conventional pharmacy with a holistic approach, focusing on a healthy lifestyle, nutrition, and looking at the patient as a whole being rather than their isolated symptoms. I offer a variety of professional line quality vitamins and supplements, which can be thoroughly discussed with me as a pharmacist and checked for appropriateness based on the patient's other medications history and health conditions.
I look forward to seeing you at my Mettra Pharmacy Duncan!
