About us

Stefan Zwanepoel, Ph.C, RPh, APA is a South African trained North West University School of Pharmacy graduate, currently practicing in Grande Prairie, Alberta. While completing a Bachelor of Science degree in Human Physiology and Kinesiology, a keen interest in pharmacology and the effects of pharmaceuticals sparked a passion to pursue pharmacology as a career. He was accepted into South Africa’s oldest, most prestigious School of Pharmacy from which he graduated in 2000. Upon graduation he received the Victor Ludorum Trophy for Sportsman of the Year. While manning a rural primary care clinic, a thirst for knowledge led to his successful completion of a Diploma in Primary Care Drug Therapy. In the timeframe 2010-2013, before immigrating to Canada, he provided a consulting service as part of a multidisciplinary setting. Working alongside specialist physicians, physiotherapist, occupational therapists and nurses, his knowledge proved invaluable in the search for optimal therapy and rehabilitation of patients requiring critical care. His love for teaching led to Stefan focusing his efforts on advising medical students and interns, nurses and physicians on applied clinical pharmacology and therapeutic choices. After moving to Canada in 2014 and accepted to the Canadian clinical pharmacy register, he rapidly obtained his Additional Prescribing Authority with the Alberta College of Pharmacists and started working as a pharmacist prescriber. His passion to not only treat patients, but also improve their quality of life, led him to seek education that would support this ideology. He has completed numerous certifications with The Canadian Board of Aesthetic Medicine, and gained membership with the American Academy of Anti Aging Medicine.

Currently Stefan's time is focused on managing his Bio-Identical Hormone Therapy and Functional Medicine patients as well as staying up to date on the most cutting edge treatment options for our patients.When he is not in the clinic or behind the computer he continues to pursue his passions for rock climbing, mountain biking, and rafting.
