Trey Waters knew at 12 years old that he wanted to be a pharmacist. After helping his grandfather understand his diabetes medications, he realized how confusing and overwhelming healthcare could be. That early insight sparked a lifelong mission: to make medicine easier to understand, and health easier to reclaim.

Born and raised in Bristol, Virginia, Trey started working as a pharmacy tech at 15 and earned his Doctor of Pharmacy degree by age 23. Over the past two decades, he’s owned and operated 20+ independent pharmacies across the country, specializing in both traditional dispensing and cutting-edge compounding.

Now back in Southwest Virginia, Trey leads Waters Wellness, a compounding pharmacy and clinic focused on root-cause care, hormone optimization, and longevity-driven therapies. His team works closely with patients and providers to createcustomized solutions, from sublingual medications to compounded hormone creams, all with one goal: to help people live better, longer.

Trey believes deeply in functional medicine and community-based care. His work is guided by a simple philosophy: “One size doesn’t fit all.” Whether it’s a child who can’t swallow a pill, a woman navigating hormone shifts, or a man looking to reclaim his energy, Trey finds a way to help.

When he’s not behind the counter or leading a workshop, you’ll probably find Trey fly fishing or hiking somewhere in Virginia, or spending time with his friends and family. No matter where he is, the mission stays the same: simplify the complex, treat the whole person, and make medicine make sense again.
