"I had the pleasure of working closely with Dr. Mary Nazzal for seven years during my tenure as the Executive Director of Pharmacy at Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi. Dr. Nazzal is a distinguished healthcare provider who consistently demonstrates a deep passion for her work. Her extensive knowledge in the field of Sterile Compounding, combined with her full commitment to placing the patient at the center of all she does, sets her apart as an exemplary quality healthcare professional."

"Critical Compounding Resources provided assistance when we experienced environmental excursions in our sterile compounding facility. Their consultants quickly identified potential causes of our microbial excursions and developed a comprehensive remediation plan. With CCR's guidance, we were able to implement more robust environmental monitoring procedures, optimize our cleaning and disinfection protocols, and retrain our staff on proper handling techniques. I highly recommend CCR to any pharmacy facing environmental control challenges."

"I was given the opportunity to attend the Critical Compounding Resources courses in person. The knowledge that I’ve gained during the 5 days was essential for the new position that I’ve started. The courses were timely and very informative. Both Melanie and Mary put great efforts together so that we could do well in the courses. Amazing job."

“Partnering with a Critical Compounding Resources during our pharmacy master planning efforts was an extremely beneficial experience. They brought extensive industry experience to the table and demonstrated a creative approach to problem-solving that pushed us to rethink the norms of our facility. One of the most impactful aspects of their involvement was leading us through a thorough GAP analysis—helping us clearly identify current shortfalls and uncover areas with room for improvement. They dove deep into our existing workflows, offering insights on how to optimize processes while maintaining a strong focus on safety and regulatory compliance. Their guidance ensured our planning efforts were not only forward-thinking but also practical and aligned with industry standards. On top of all that, they were an absolute pleasure to work with—professional, collaborative, and genuinely invested in our success.”

“Navigating the challenging landscape of USP 795, 797, and 800 is daunting. The pharmacy department at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles received expert guidance and consultations from Critical Compounding Resources for our hospital’s implementation of these revised compounding guidelines. The Critical Compounding Resources staff provided us with up to date and proactive information that included USP planning assistance, gap analysis, licensing & accreditation agency advice and SOP reviews to ensure full regulatory compliance for our pharmacies as well as all patient care areas. Their consultations also incorporated a balanced approach that was mindful of the fiscal challenges in our current healthcare environment. Our organization is grateful for their competent and thorough review to ensure the continued health and safety of our patients, staff and visitors.”

“Last day of our 4-day sterile compounding course for Pharmacy annual certification with Critical Compounding Resources (CCR). Thank you SO much to Melanie Dorey , Mary Nazzal and David Phillips for a truly comprehensive, quality experience. Highly recommend! Eric S. Kastango, Kate Douglass, these ladies do you proud!”

"We hired Critical Compounding Resources to perform a USP 797 Gap analysis on our newly built cleanroom with the primary goal of detecting any construction compliance issues. Mary and Dj were most thorough in going over every aspect of our compounding program, including offering suggestions as to how to maximize our compliance with SOPs and other systems that could help make this transition as smooth as possible. DJ did his best to break down HVAC lingo into Pharmacy friendly terms. This helped us understand what we could do to avoid contamination issues in the future by exceeding USP standards, rather than being content to simply meet them."

“I met Melanie at the beginning of her pharmacy career with a budding curiosity in sterile compounding. Melanie has turned that interest into a career providing training, consulting, and education of the highest quality. Melanie always has the safety of the patient at heart, and she is consistently aiming for beyond the status quo.“

"I have had the pleasure of teaching with Melanie over the past several years. Her practical approach to safe sterile compounding is so valuable. She can explain complex processes with real-world examples."

"Motivation, rigueur, dévouement sont les mots qui me viennent à l’idée lorsque je pense à Mme Mélanie Dorey. J’ai eu la chance de lui enseigner mes connaissances dans le domaine technique de la pharmacie. Dès la première classe, en 2006, j’ai vu en elle, une personne qui allait faire toute une différence au sein de cet environnement. Sa passion envers la profession l’a mené à venir travailler à mes côtés à titre de professeur dans le programme de Techniques pharmaceutiques au collège La Cité, pendant quelques années. Avec la soif d’apprendre et de toujours vouloir se surpasser, elle a été parfaire ses connaissances et se spécialiser dans le domaine du service centralisé d’additifs aux solutés et des préparations non stériles. Centrée sur le bien-être du patient, pour Mélanie, la qualité du produit est aux premières loges. La flamme toujours allumée et qui ne cesse de croître, Mélanie est la meilleure ambassadrice que je connaisse pour représenter le domaine des produits stériles et non stériles."

"I have had the wonderful opportunity to sit under the tutelage of Melanie at CriticalPoint. Her knowledge and understanding of the pharmaceutical industry gleams bright during her instruction. Melanie is passionate about patient safety and her relative continuous improvement nature continues to set the stage for ongoing learning. When you encounter the vast knowledge of Critical Compounding Resources, you are in for a treat."

“This course was the perfect way to help me prepare to walk into my brand-new role as a compounding supervisor. I have been working in pharmacy for 20 years and have been a RPhT since 2018, stepping into this role I am very aware of the gaps I have in my profession, and this was the perfect way to bridge those gaps. Some of the methods used to show us WHY it is necessary to follow these strict practices really helps understand the importance of ensuring we as compounding supervisors meet this level. It will help prepare me to answer the questions I will receive from new staff, senior staff, and nursing. This is serious and thorough preparation for any pharmacy compounder, and I am grateful to have participated in the training. The presenters were fantastic, clearly experts in their fields and passionate about the subject matter. They took the time to answer every question each of us had about our own sites and provided excellent resources I will use in practice.  I also LOVED the book recommendation of Kill Shot, it was such a good and informative read. Thank you CCR for providing the training I needed to get starting in the challenging role.”
