Jerry Bermudez
Compounding Technician
Medical-Dental Pharmacy
My name is Jerry Bermudez and I am the Compounding Technician at Medical-Dental Pharmacy. I first got my start in pharmacy back in 1995. I have proudly worked with the Medical-Dental family for almost 8 years now. However, compounding isn’t all that I am interested in. I was born and raised here, in the Fresno/Clovis area, and take full advantage of what this beautiful area has to offer. When I am not working, you can find me on the trails, hiking, fishing and camping.

Medical-Dental Pharmacy
Serving others has always been a great passion of mine, especially, when it comes to a person’s health and well-being. Since October 2008, I have been employed at Medical-Dental Pharmacy and have had such a joy serving our customers with the highest level of professionalism, while keeping a down-to-earth, yet sincere, atmosphere. It’s my goal to make sure our customers are completely satisfied with their experience here at the Pharmacy.
Passionate about my work, I take pride in helping our customers reach their goals towards a happier, healthier life, by assisting them to find what they need in the pharmacy; whether it is one of our high-quality supplements, health and wellness products, help in finding/fitting a compression garment or finding a unique gift for themselves, a friend or that special someone – I take the time to make sure each of their needs are taken care of. When I am not at work, you will find me spending time with my family.

Matthew Zoolakis
Pharmacy Tech
Medical-Dental Pharmacy
My name is Matthew Zoolakis and I am a pharmacist with roots right here in the central valley. I too grew up in a family retail pharmacy business. I did my undergraduate work at University of Utah and California State University, Fresno, and obtained a Doctor of Pharmacy degree from University of the Pacific School of Pharmacy in 1993.
After working retail most of my life, I decided to make a career change and in 2000 I left retail pharmacy, switched gears all together, and accepted a position as an oncology pharmacist. This was very exciting because oncology was such an ever-changing and fascinating arena. It was great working on a team with physicians and nurses and I enjoyed playing a vital role in patient care and chemotherapy treatment plans. Unfortunately for myself the nation’s economy and healthcare reimbursement made it financially impossible to support a pharmacist on staff and after 9 years I finally had to say good bye.
My fascination with the human body and physiology has led me to Diana and Medical-Dental Pharmacy. With the increasing number of unexplained illnesses in the world and increasing number of patients with symptoms that seem to decrease their quality of life, I can appreciate the comprehensive treatment approach that Diana brings to the table. It is amazing how the mind, our hormones, and our bodies are all interlinked. With the introduction of neuro-adrenal testing, hormonal testing, and food allergy testing it is unbelievable the information that can be gathered to not only identify possible health problems, but act as a guide to health care providers for a healthier, wiser you. Although I am new to the company, I am really looking forward to working together with you and your health care provider for your health needs.
