Scott Wepfer is a third generation pharmacist from Central Wisconsin.  He grew up watching his grandfather and father practice pharmacy.  After graduating from pharmacy school at the University of Wisconsin, he moved to Birmingham to complete a residency program at UAB Hospital pharmacy. 

In 1995 he opened The Compounding Shoppe, a pharmacy that specializes in compounding or the “custom-making” medications by a pharmacist to fit the unique needs of the patient not responding to conventional medications. 

Today when you walk into the pharmacy one of the first things you notice is the Penny Scale that you can step on to weigh yourself that used to sit in his grandfather’s pharmacy. 

Three years later Scott became the first Alabama pharmacist to become a Fellow of the International Academy of Compounding Pharmacists.  (That’s what the letters FIACP stand for behind his name.  Of all the pharmacists that do compounding in Alabama, he is still only one to attain the FIACP status.

In September of 2006 Scott learned that The Compounding Shoppe had become one of the first two pharmacies in the country to earn the Pharmacy Compounding Accreditation Board’s  (PCAB) Seal of Accreditation – a new (and the toughest) system of standards created by eight of the national pharmacy organizations to recognize top quality compounding pharmacies.

Today Scott is nationally recognized as one of the leading innovators for high quality in the field of pharmacy compounding. 

His areas of clinical expertise include hormone replacement therapy and pain management.  While his primary focus is on compounding, he also has an interest in natural medicine (herbs, homeopathics & nutritionals), often recommending it as a part of a rational therapy plan for patients not able to satisfactorily solve their health problems with traditional medicine, or for patients wanting to take a more natural approach to their health care.  

Scott is married with three children.
