Our Pharmacists

Sarah McGonigal

Pharmacist-owner

Hello Kimberley! My name is Sarah McGonigal, and I am the other half of Mountain & Pestle Pharmacy. I graduated from the University of Alberta with a Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy in 2014. I have been practicing rural pharmacy ever since graduating, but was lucky enough to move to Kimberley in 2017.

Since moving to the Kootenays, my husband and I have had 2 little rugrats that take a lot of our time and energy. When I’m not working, you can find me outdoors with my family. Although a bit more challenging with 2 littles under 4 years, we love to get out hiking, biking, camping, skiing and adventuring as much as possible. We absolutely love this community and surrounding area, and I am beyond excited to be part of the business community here.

I am excited to get to know more wonderful people from this community, and to help them live their best Kootenay life. Please stop by and say hello!

Hi, I’m Carley! I am a pharmacist and one of the masterminds behind Mountain & Pestle Pharmacy! I graduated from the University of Alberta with a Doctor of Pharmacy in 2020 and have been living and working in the Cranbrook area since. I grew up in Golden and love everything the Columbia Valley has to offer! With that's being said, owning a pharmacy in Kimberley is a dream come true.

My favourite part of being a pharmacist is getting to know my patients and helping them through their health journeys. I look forward to getting to know many Kimberley residents and assisting them with their medication needs.

When I’m not being a legal drug dealer, you’ll probably find me enjoying time outdoors with my dog Penny, spending time with family and friends, hiking, skiing, or paddle boarding. I’m excited to be a part of the Kimberley community – I can tell it’s a good place to be!
