Owned and operated by S. Ali Nowbar, R.Ph., MBA, J.D., a pharmacist with four decades of hands-on experience. He previously ran a pharmacy at this very address and built a reputation patients still remember. Now he's back, bringing that same dedication to Hollister and San Benito County.
With over 40 years of pharmacy experience behind it, Alt Pharma brings clinical expertise, bilingual consultations, and genuine patient relationships to Hollister and San Benito County. No corporate scripts, no revolving staff, just a pharmacy built around the people who walk through its doors.
