Meet Your Friendly Pharmacist
My name is Dr. Emily Goldman but you can call me "The Great Em." I received my bachelor's of science degree from Utah State University (Go Aggies!) in 2006 and my Doctor of Pharmacy from the University of Utah in 2010. I worked as a pharmacy intern for three years during my time at the U of U and then as a staff pharmacist for two years after graduation. The majority of my experience has been in the traditional grocery store pharmacy. I entered early retirement to become a stay-at-home mom to the cutest Little Miss ever.
My husband and I have been married since my last year at the University of Utah. We love to take trips to warm places, play high-intensity board games and watch any sporting event but soccer. Becoming parents is the greatest thing and the craziest thing that ever happened to us. Our Little Miss fills our days with love and laughter and "ruff-ruffs."
So why am I here? Even with all the training I got in school, I'm finding I still have questions when it comes to my daughter's health. I am lucky enough to have the skills and resources to easily find the answers I need and it only seems fair to share that information with other parents. There are a lot of different ways to approach medical care these days. From the traditional "doctor knows best" to the resurgence of home births and the rising use of natural products, including essential oils. I believe there is good and bad to be had in every option. Being educated about your decisions is the only way to ensure your health care has the benefits and risks you are comfortable with.
DISCLAIMER
Although I am trained as a pharmacist, I do not know everything. I love this format for providing information because I can take the time to check and double-check my facts. Up-to-date, reliable and accurate information sources are the building blocks of any good medical professional and, wherever possible, I will provide my sources. Pharmacists are NOT trained in performing detailed diagnoses. There is no substitute for the opinion of your primary care physician.
