By Appointment.
About Our Consulting Services
Our Consulting Services are available to men and women of any age. Patients are seen by appointment only either in person or on the phone. Following the initial consultation, we custom tailor a regimen for our client. We work with health care providers, helping patients receive customized therapy for their specific health needs. If necessary, we send a recommendation to the client's health care provider for approval. We ask that our clients verify approval of their prescription prior to stopping in to pick it up or expecting it to be shipped. Upon approval by the health care provider, under most circumstances, the precription will be available for pick up or delivery within 24 hours.

Please call 800-689-1823 or email us at info@portagepharmacy.com Please leave your name, telephone number and/or email address where you can be reached.

We ask that the staff is informed if there are time limitations involved with scheduling (ex. I have no more than 20 minutes). We highly recommend arriving to the initial consultation 15 minutes prior to the appointment. Arriving more than 10 minutes late may cause your appointment to be cancelled and rescheduled. Please give 24 hour cancellation notice.
Anti-Aging & Functional Medicine
Anti-aging medicine is the newest medical specialty focusing on the achievement of optimum health at any age. Emphasis is placed on prevention of age-related disease.
Functional Medicine is a health care approach applying integrative, science-based therapies to help promote wellness focusing on assessment of the biochemically unique aspects of each patient, and the individually tailoring interventions to restore physiological, psychological, and structural balance. This involves emphasis on the cause of the symptom rather than the symptom itself.
Diet, Nutraceuticals and Vitamin Supplementation: A healthy diet is key to optimal health. A diet rich in: vegetables, fruits, whole grains, essential fats, fat free or low-fat milk and milk products, lean meats, poultry, fish, beans, eggs, and nuts is recommended. For more information on a healthy diet visit mypyramid.gov. Unfortunately, the fast-paced lifestyle of many American's very often leads to a diet lacking the essential foods that should be present in a healthy diet. Supplementation and nutraceuticals can be used to gain these vital nutrients to get yourself back on the path towards a healthier life. Supplement requirements are unique to each client based on diet, present health condition, and lifestyle. We carry a variety of high quality products to ensure optimal absorption and effect.
Lifestyle Modifications, adequate exercise, and stress management techniques are important to implement as they play an important role in our health. Ecessive use of alcohol/recreational drugs, some prescription medications and certain disease states affect our well-being.
