About
Warren Cortese grew up in Paterson, NJ, just blocks away from Cortese Pharmacy. He began working with his father, William, as early as 12 years old. As he spent more time at the pharmacy, it became clear that he would follow in his father's footsteps. Warren always had an interest in helping others, and would go on to persue a career as a pharmacist. He attened the St. Louis College of Pharmacy, graduating in 1975.
Warren and his father worked side by side as pharmacists for over ten years. After William's passing, Warren took over the store and has been the owner and lead pharmacist ever since. He currently works with his daughter, Elise Cortese, as she is a pharmacy technician.
