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.
