The vintage 1860 building now includes two fitting rooms for clients who need items including braces, stockings, and wigs (a new offering at Millers). David notes that home visits are also available for clients who require fittings. “We also work with Angels of Hope, an organization that helps women with cancer and in our case, pays for wigs for those in need,” David adds. Owner and President David The renovation allowed MillMiller and Clinical Nutritionist ers to expand its many specialty Bob Lukasik programs and add a nutrition center. Headed by Doctor of Clinical Nutrition Bob Lukasik, the center carries over 100 brands of high-quality supplements. The center’s unique wellness programs allow patients to consult with the nutritionist and then follow up with a pharmacist regarding current medications, and then, if needed, with a pharmacologist regarding hormone regulation. The experts at Millers then work with the patient’s physician and make recommendations. He adds that Millers is one of only 75 accredited compounding labs in the United States, having received accreditation from the Professional Compounding Accreditation Board in June 2012. The pharmacy has been compounding for more than 30 years – a fact that became of critical importance when Tamiflu® was in short supply during the recent flu epidemic. Due to the pharmacy’s compounding ability, Millers was able to make up its own supply of this pediatric medication. Hours are 9-8 weekdays and 9-4 Saturdays.
