We met with Megan about lift chairs. We had looked at other places. Megan was the most knowledgeable and wonderful person to work with. She wasnt a high pressured sales person but showed us the various options. She did give us her opinion on what chair she thought would be the best for me and why she thought that way, I highly recommend you talking with her if you are looking for a lift chair.

I could not be more thankful that I found this pharmacy. I was having a nightmare of a time consistently getting my prescriptions filled in a timely manner at the big chains. I would end up driving from one pharmacy to another trying to get them filled. Then I contacted Whitesell's. They told me if I transfer all of my prescriptions to them that they would have my back - and they have!!! They may not have a drive thru but they are more than worth having to park and go in. I've never had trouble finding parking out front. Thank you Whitesell's Pharmacy for making me feel like a valued customer rather

They are the only compounding place around so if you have a sick infant that needs meds you will likely be forced to use them and they know it. They will hold it over your head, make up odd rules and change them without a moments notice. The first time we ran out of meds we called and they told us it would take several days for them to make. They asked us to give more notice in the future. Seems reasonable so the next time we called we called about a week ahead. This was still tough for them but kinda worked. Eventually, when they couldnt get stuff done in a week we started giving them 2 weeks

Very nice professional compound pharmacy. This is my 1st experience with having to have a special made prescription. They made me feel comfortable with the possibility of interactions with other medications. My special prescription was ready in a couple of days, so happy it wouldn't take longer.

Prior to my discovery of Whitesells, every month was quite stressful thanks to meds needing ordered or a pharmacist disagreeing with my doctors orders. Then I found out about Whitesells and my monthly refills now make me smile. No more "we need to order this" or standing in long lines. This pharmacy is a breath of fresh air. I'm quite thankful that I discovered them.

Been going here for about 7 years now. Staff is always friendly and helpful. Need an example? One time there was an insurance hangup near closing time, and my phone call to the insurance company lasted until about 10 minutes after the close time. The whole time I was on the phone, I was watching the time, but the Whitesell staff was very understanding and told me not to worry if the call went until after closing time. Highly recommended!
