Services

Supplements:

There is tremendous variation in quality and value in supplements and vitamins. We carefully research brands, ingredients and interactions to help you navigate this as safely and well informed as possible. We use Fullscripts online inventory for supplements as a convenience, passing on a 15% practitioner discount to patients of WHIM.

I advise against buying supplements from Amazon or big warehouse chains where the quality is not well regulated and counterfeits may be sold.
