About

Recognized as “The Deprescribing Pharmacist” and Top 50 Most Influential Pharmacists in the US, Dr. Canterbury created GeriatRx as a Deprescribing and Precision Medicine consulting service for older adults and caregivers after witnessing his parents manage his grandmother, Mildred, and her decline with dementia due to an inappropriately prescribed antipsychotic from a nursing home. He decided to take these matters into his own hands by founding GeriatRx, a healthcare consulting company focusing on Side Effect Management, Deprescribing, and Precision Medicine testing to determine which medications will not work for you before taking a single pill! GeriatRx uses patient-centered methods that take the headache out of healthcare by providing cost-effective strategies to reduce harmful medications, and by empowering older adults and caregivers on how to fight back against a broken healthcare system while saving his clients thousands of dollars. He has also created the Deprescribing Accelerator helping to train pharmacists, nurses, and prescribers on how to leverage and monetize Deprescribing and Precision Medicine in clinical practice. GeriatRx works with your provider as a health care team, while you have your own personal, concierge pharmacist batting for you every step of the way.
