This pharmacy is like no other. The staff is so knowledgeable and super caring, and they take their time to help each and every person. They don’t push meds but instead treat each person holistically to optimize health and PREVENT disease. They have huge hearts for their people and they are like family!

I like that this place exists but like others have said, the pricing on some items is way more expensive than most other retail places.But then there were a couple products (specifically brands sold by chiropractors) that were cheaper than what i've paid at a chiro's office and half the price of what amazon sells them for.Everyone has to make a profit so I understand that it depends on how much they are paying for the item themselves. But it doesn't mean i'll shell out an exta $10-$15 for something that I can get somewhere else for a better price. Especially in today's economy.The people are nice but please know, unless they are ND's or have been studying alternative healing methods for a good amount of time, they only share from personal experience.Someone was speaking about how terrible coffee is for your body when there have been studies claiming otherwise.No 2 bodies are identical, thats the most important thing to know. What works for me, might not work for you but I believe in healing the body, not just alleviating some symptoms.They have a small book selection that was very interesting. I bought a book about hormones because that's what i'm interested in learning more about. Hint hint :)

Pharmacist was very helpful and answering all my questions about a new medication. Everyone was polite.

I went into this place that wants me to skip my doctors copay. Ok, you had no resolution for me. I need to see my doctor for a prescription. False advertisement! I don’t know why any doctor would send their patients to you anyway. I’m guessing they don’t. Also, why would anybody have to pay for a consultation with a pharmacist? How ridiculous to see those ads. It’s free everywhere else. I can go to CVS for free and talk to my pharmacist! Moving on to find people that really care….. glad I didn’t pay to set up a consultation with your pharmacist!

I had to get a new medication administered in a nasal spray pump they provide. There is no other option. Two months in a row I bought it for $60, and half of it leaked back on me. When I called to tell them the first and second time, there was no help at all. It was my fault. Bill stated no one else had issues with the nasal spray bottle, but my n.p. said it has happened with some of her patients. I was never offered a resolution or discount on the refill. I have a background in customer service and this is not a very good example of it. Extremely disappointed ☹️EDIT: I added back a star because when my Dr called in the med in a different form they are giving me $20 off at least.

My first visit was yesterday, absolutely amazing customer service from the moment I opened the door. I’m so glad my medicine had to go to this compounding pharmacy. I checked out other items they offered and I will be returning. A hidden gem in the Peoria area that I will tell everyone about. In this day and age to be as caring and genuine as everyone was is fantastic to find!!

I came to this pharmacy after another compounding pharmacy (Preckshot) was unable to provide a simple phenobarbital compound for my cat - stringing me along for two weeks while she suffered without it. I called the prescription in that morning and was able to pick it up that day from Essential Wellness. I have always gotten prompt and courteous service at Essential Wellness.

My mom told me over Thanksgiving that her doctor has her taking medicine made by this pharmacy. I had never heard of them so I did a quick google search. Week News 25 had a scary write up about them and here is the direct quote. "Essential Wellness Pharmacy, Peoria, 054018933 – pharmacy license placed on INDEFINITE PROBATION fora minimum of one year and fined $10,000 due to MULTIPLE VIOLATIONS discovered during a routine inspection." This scares the heck out of me on so many levels and my mom will not be going back there. I will be showing up to her next doctors appointment as well to give my thoughts. This is something patients and doctors should know about before getting medicine here. I can't believe you as a pharmacy do not make your patients and Doctors aware of this!!

Only pharmacy in the area that carries a specific supplement that is the only variation of it's kind I can stomach AND has a reasonable price. The iriver went up about $1 from earlier this year, but it's in stock and has a good date, so I'm not complaining. I learned the hard way you can't trust online only vendors; you need a real pharmacy that's accountable who genuinely care about their patients, and that's EW. In spite of working for a mass chain competitor, I and the pharmacists I work with have no outspoken recommending the place when customers need specialty care or advice on things live CBD Oil. Call ahead if you need a more in depth consult, and WEAR A MASK!

I have friends who get supplements here and other places and I checked this tiny place out cause I happened to be driving by this part of town. I was curious from conflicting things I heard so I stopped in. I get exact same supplements cheaper elsewhere closer to my house that has smart staff and know about what I should take and why. People were not mean, just not educated like a pharmacy should be in my opinion. They want to charge you to talk to a pharmacist too, what a joke and unheard of in my life. Places I go it is free. Just not a good fit for me. I encourage shopping around to save money and good education. I’m all for Supporting small local business, there are just better ones out there in our community. I hope you guys can get your act together, I do not like seeing small businesses fail. Good luck!
