Nutritional Counseling
At Physicians Compounding Pharmacy we believe that nutrition is the first line of defense against illness and is a powerful tool for sustained health, recovery from illness and a positive mental attitude. Because the relationship between nutrition and a healthy lifestyle is so critical Physicians Compounding offers several complimentary services to our clients to help them achieve optimal health and well-being.
One of the services we offer at Physicians Compounding is nutritional counseling that is performed by a registered dietitian. The fee for nutritional counseling is $25 per 15 minutes with most appointments lasting between 30 – 60 minutes. So a 30-minute appointment is $50, a 45-minute appointment is $75, etc… The nutritional consultation can be conducted in person or via telephone at your convenience. Our nutritionist is devoted to helping you get started on an individualized vitamin/supplement regimen that will maximize your health potential the right way. We carry hundreds of different pharmaceutical grade supplements to serve all of your nutritional needs.
