I was referred to Thrifty Mac by Morgan Medical PT in hopes of finding particular shoe inserts. Although Thrifty Mac did not carry these inserts, the clerk went above and beyond finding a retailer who carries these special order inserts. Thank you!

Thrift Mac pharmacy has LITERALLY been a life saver for my healthcare and access to the prescriptions I need (and when I need them) that NO OTHER PHARMACY has EVER been able to even come close to. At CVS/Walgreens/WalMart .... you are just another patient ID number and RX number ... and the more unique your medication needs become ... the more you DREAD and FEAR that the pharmacy will be there with what you need and when you need them. I suffer from a rare and VERY SEVERE sleep disorder that completely paralyzes and debilitates my life without the prescription medications that I take to manage it. In the last couple years the ingredients used to make theses RX's and increased demand for them created a national drug shortage that the pharma manufacturers have TOTALLY FAILED to solve because of regulation and the low profit margins of the meds themselves. As each month passed the shortage got worse and no I would find myself spending HOURS and HOURS in days leading up to my refill date calling different pharmacies to find one that had my medications in-stock. Even when I would FINALLY find one that had the medications available at that moment ... their policy was first-come first-serve and by the time my refill date arrived it would be gone. Or promised to set aside for me ... only to learn their computer had the wrong number available than what was on the shelf. It became such a nightmare I was facing a medical leave of absence from work because it was become unsafe for me to take care of my own patients with a sleep disorder that was going un-medicated for days or weeks at a time. The VERY WEEK I decided there was no other choice but to take medical leave at work (UNPAID) ... I made one last call to a random small-town pharmacy I was certain would be the least likely to help me ... I WAS SO WRONG! From that day until now ... Griffin (Thrifty-Mac's owner and Lead Pharmacist) has gone SO FAR OUT OF HIS WAY every month ... to hunt for new manufactures with enough availability to fill EACH OF MY medications ... and there has not been A SINGLE MONTH since where he was not able to find a way to insure my RX was there waiting for me the day my refill was due. Thrifty Mac proactively communicates with me each month reassuring me things are on track to fill my prescriptions ... and has even found unique ways of helping me lower the cost when my insurance did not want to pay for one of them. Working in healthcare myself ... I know how difficult it can be to take so much time out of your day to meet the needs of a SINGLE patient when there are dozens of others who are depending on you as well. But the team at Thrify Mac has NEVER made me feel like a nuisance or headache ... and have always spent whatever time and efforts that it required to meet my unique needs. What a COMPLETE GOD-SEND it has been for me and my family to know I have this kind of healthcare partner on my side EVERY time I need them (which is all the time). Thank you Griffin and Thrifty Mac team for providing such a PATIENT CENTERED and TOTALLY unheard of commitment to quality and dedicated care. It has totally changed my life and my ability to feel safe and in control of my health. - William F (Thrifty Mac patient & customer since May, 2023)

I just recently been transferred to Thrifty Mac from Ingles, and it has been the best decision I have ever made thus far as far as pharmacies. The entire staff is welcoming and friendly. I urge others to get their prescriptions filled at Thrifty Mac. The owner was so nice and helpful. It has been a while since I attended a pharmacy where the entire staff is welcoming and friendly. Also, they are fast and diligent with filing prescriptions.Sincerely,Tyesia Taylor

Thrifty Mac Pharmacy deserves five stars (and more if I could give them!) for the first experience I had with them, recently.I live in Athens and met a friend for lunch in Madison last week. Earlier that day I heard from my pharmacy in Athens that they were out of a particular medication I very much needed to take.In spite of having a lovely lunch with my friend, I was stressedand distracted about the medication dilemma. I called other pharmacies in Athens and they were also out of the medication.My friend suggested I check with the pharmacy next door in Madison. To my pleasant surprise, the pharmacy had a short supply of the medication and were willing to fill a prescription with my doctor's orders. Talk about a stress reliever!My friend and I had to wait quite awhile for that to happen, not knowing, for sure, if the doctor would get the order in before closing time. The pharmacy personnel could not have been more friendly and kind, seeming to understand I was stressed. The young lady, Gracie, who had waited on me kept checking and keeping me informed. Spencer, one of the pharmacists, could not have been nicer! He has since, personally, called me to tell me the pharmacy had received more of my medication and asked if I would like him to complete the order.The experience with Thrifty Mac was so heartwarming it will be one I won't forget for a very long time. Thank You, TMP!!! Iris M.

Have a giant banner stating they support the Vets but run off a Vet standing on the sidewalk, not asking for money but spreading the message of "God bless the homeless vets".. what a bunch on Anti American people you have at that pharmacy..if you love America and proud of our soldiers for what they do, DO NOT GO TO THIS PHARMACY!

The review posted by a man about Thrifty Mac Pharmacy stating "Have a giant banner stating they support the Vets but run off a Vet standing on the sidewalk," is completely false. Please disregard this review since it does not apply to Thrifty Mac Pharmacy. In fact, the family that has owned Thrifty Mac for 47 plus years currently has a son serving as a pilot in the Ga National Guard as well as 2 fathers who served in WWII.
