The Wintergreen community again has a pharmacy in Nellysford. The UVA Health Pharmacy Stoney Creek is focused on prescription drugs. It’s not a full-service drugstore.
The phone number is 434-297-6100. The pharmacy at 2831 Rockfish Valley Highway is next door to UVA Family Medicine Stoney Creek, with the entrance to the store at the north end (not the front) of the shopping center in Nellysford.

Hours are 9 am to 5 pm, Monday through Friday, closing for a 30-minute lunch break at 1 pm.
Pharmacist Kasey Griffith and Pharmacy Tech Nicoliah Taylor run the operation, which is part of the UVA Pharmacy Services operation in Charlottesville.
The nearby Dollar General and IGA Blue Ridge Grocery will be a better bet for finding over-the-counter drugs such as antacids, cough drops, or eyedrops or household health care items such as Band-Aids and such.
Besides filling prescriptions from doctors, Griffith says she can also provide vaccinations for COVID-19, flu shingles, RSV, etc., by appointment.
While the shop is small, it’s a full-service pharmacy. “But no pharmacy has everything,” says Griffith, who has over a dozen years of retail pharmacy experience. “We can get almost anything the next business day.”
It’s simple to transfer prescriptions to the Nellysford pharmacy, especially if the pharmacy has prescription bottles or packages with labels intact. The pharmacy is open to the public.
