Consulting Pharmacist
Taylor Trammell
Born and raised in central Alabama, Taylor stayed close to home when he left for college and attended Samford University. Taylor studied pre-pharmacy in undergrad and continued at Samford's McWhorter School of Pharmacy to earn his Doctor of Pharmacy degree in 2011. Starting at a chain pharmacy in 2003, Taylor has 20 years of community pharmacy experience and over 10 years of compounding experience. In 2017, he opened Crestwood Pharmacy & Soda Fountain with his business partner. That pharmacy is a full service community pharmacy with an old school inspired soda fountain. They serve Old Dutch ice cream from Mobile and as many other local goods as they can find, especially the finest Alabama hemp products. We love serving our neighbors and being part of the community.
While not working in the pharmacy, Taylor enjoys spending time with his wife and kids, going to concerts, hiking, camping, mountain biking, motorcycling and cooking. And after years of resisting, Taylor is now a fully committed deadhead. If you find yourself in Birmingham or see me out and about, stop and say hi!
