About Us

Dr. Greta Goldshtein is an Advanced Practice Pharmacist and earned her Doctor of Pharmacy degree from USC School of Pharmacy in 1997.  She loves her profession and feels that it has allowed her to practice her life philosophy for 20 years and counting, first as a clinical inpatient pharmacist at Cedars Sinai Medical Center and then as an outpatient pharmacist at Roxbury Pharmacy in Beverly Hills.   She is passionate about fairness, access, care, support, respect, and realization of potential.

Greta believes that the goal of "life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness" depends on societal and individual health and wellbeing.    People should enjoy access to good information and engage in consistent and meaningful partnerships with caring, conscientious, and knowledgeable healthcare professionals, all of whom work together toward enabling the best health and wellbeing for every one of us. 

Greta has built Courtyard Pharmacy to translate these goals into practice.  Pharmacists often serve as educators and coordinators of care, balancing the information, recommendations, and prescriptions from the patient’s multiple physicians and caregivers, screening for appropriateness of care, contraindications, interactions, and potential for side effects.  Pharmacists explain therapeutic goals, management decisions, and teach and encourage patients to use their medications correctly.   Pharmacists guide patients in selection and use of over-the-counter medications, vitamins, and supplements.  Pharmacists screen patient complaints, address what we can, recommend initial remedies, and direct more serious issues to other professionals.  Pharmacists alert patients and physicians to serious or emerging problems and work together to fix them.    Pharmacists are the most accessible healthcare practitioners and continue to rank among the most trusted professionals.
