Steven C. Hoffart, PharmD, received his Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy with highest honors in 1994 and a Doctorate in Pharmacy from the University of Texas at Austin in 2000. He also holds a board certification and fellowship through the American Academy of Anti-Aging (A4M).

In November of 2002, Dr. Hoffart saw a need for a more personal pharmacy that could make an impact in the community on a larger scale. Magnolia Pharmacy strives to best work with the "triad." The triad is a strong working relationship between the patient, physician, and pharmacy to solve medication problems and provide real solutions for patients to achieve better health and wellness. Cultivating this working relationship has ultimately produced a unique pharmacy experience for each Magnolia Pharmacy patient.

Since 2002, Dr. Hoffart has received numerous awards and recognition for his dedication to the pharmacy profession.

Dr. Hoffart is also a member of The International Academy for Compounding Pharmacists (IACP), National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA), American Pharmacies buying Co-op (APRx), and the Professional Compounding Centers of America (PCCA). Always striving to achieve excellence, Magnolia Pharmacy is one of only a few dozen pharmacies in the state of Texas to be accredited by the Pharmacy Compounding Accreditation Board (PCAB).
