Dr. Jamie Leigh Tipton completed her Doctorate in Pharmacy from Creighton University School of Pharmacy in May 2017 after studying pre-pharmacy at Western Carolina University. She has always had a passion for compounding and dreamed of bringing this unique practice to her hometown of Franklin, NC.

During her time in pharmacy school, Jamie Leigh spent time working with Professional Compounding Centers of America (PCCA). This PCCA education included compounding boot camps, advanced compounding techniques, and drug information research on how compounded medications affect each individual patient. Her research was published in one of PCCA’s Apothagrams which is distributed to compounding pharmacists throughout the country.

Jamie Leigh participated in educational and training rotations at various locations such as retail pharmacies, compounding pharmacies, hospitals and a local veterinarian practice. She also took part in the National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA) student ownership workshop and was accepted to attend Live Oak Bank Pharmacy Ownership Student Summer Program.

While a pharmacy student, she was a member of the Rho Chi Honor Society and received many awards including the 2017 Merck Award for academic excellence. As the owner of Tipton Pharmacy, located in the beautiful mountains of Franklin, NC, Dr. Tipton’s dream has now become a reality.

In her free time, Jamie Leigh enjoys hiking and being in the great outdoors of Western North Carolina with her family, friends and Yorkie, Kray.
