About the author

Dr. Rybacki was born in Oneonta, New York and developed a love of hiking and fishing in the Catskills. Serendipidously, he landed on the Eastern Shore of Maryland after taking a Director of Pharmacy position at a small hospital. That hospital would become the earth from which many professional connections to John's Hopkins, The American Heart Association and onto which the Essential Guide to Prescription Drugs would fall in 1994.

Rybacki progressed to become a Vice President, Clinical Services and ultimately to a sought after Pharmacy and management consultant. Embracing the wave of electronic publishing, books on acid reflux, diabetes, heart disease and now Update on alcohol would emerge. Further embracing the web, Rybacki has started http://www.EssentialGuideToPrescripti... as an unsponsored information site for consumers.
