Meet Dr. Ami Kawatkar, PharmD, the new owner of Playa Pharmacy! 💊

Ami brings years of experience as a pharmacist-in-charge in a high-volume pharmacy, along with extensive expertise in compounding, creating customized medications when a patient's needs call for a more personalized approach. She is also continuing advanced training in hormone therapy and dermatologic compounding.

As an entrepreneur, Ami believes an independent pharmacy should be more than a place to pick up a prescription. It should be a trusted part of the community, where patients are known, questions are welcomed, and care is personal.

A proud mom of two daughters, Ami brings the same sense of care and connection to the patients and families she serves.

Message from the new owners of PLAYA PHARMACY:

Dear Patients and Community,

We have heard your feedback — both directly and indirectly — about the frustrations with our transition to a new pharmacy software and point-of-sale system. What we had expected to be a one-week adjustment period lasted much longer, and we sincerely regret the inconvenience this has caused. With folded hands, we extend our heartfelt apologies and gratitude for your patience and understanding.

We are pleased to share that the transition is now complete, and our phone refill system is on, to process your phone requests. In addition, we’ve made several improvements to better serve you:
• A refreshed pharmacy layout to improve efficiency.
• New and improved phone service, updated technology, to reduce wait times.
• Actively recruiting more staff and providing enhanced training for our current team.
• We take all insurances and worker’s comp
• We refill your prescriptions only as per your request

We are also excited to announce new benefits for our patients, including:
• Free local delivery for prescription medications
• Medication synchronization so all your refills are ready together
• And many more patient-centered services coming soon
Thank you for your continued trust and support. We remain committed to delivering the personalized, compassionate care you deserve. We promise to offer better experience and upgraded services to the Playa del Rey and Westchester community. We are open to your suggestions, please feel free to stop by and share your suggestions to help improve our service. We would love to meet up with you!

With gratitude,�
Dr. Ami Kawatkar and Dr. Aniket Kawatkar
