Rozella Menta

Hello. My name is Rosella Pirulli Menta. I am a pharmacist licensed in New York, Connecticut and Florida. After graduating from St. John’s University , I decided that helping patients achieve wellness was my ultimate goal. Being a mother of five children and having a great career, I realized that I wanted to make a difference in the field of pharmacy. Working behind a counter was not my ultimate objective. My passion was to meet with patients in person or virtually and help them change their lifestyle by educating them about their concerns which can range from weight loss, gut issues and inbalances in hormones .There is a lot of confusing information that can make a patient apprehensive and reluctant to make the right step. With the help of their doctor, I can help develop a plan that will fulfill their individual needs. I have done extensive training with PCCA and attended numerous conferences across the country. I am a certified HRT specialist with PCCA since 2016 and have helped over 10 thousand patients and more. The most rewarding part of what I do is monitoring a patients progress and guide them in achieving a better road to health. Please feel free to call me. Please set up an appointment on my website www.ryerx.com and I will guide and support you on your journey of achieving wellness!
