In 2004, the Health & Wellness Pharmacy made a significant jump from Green Hills to the medical community surrounding Baptist and Centennial Hospitals near Centennial Park. At their current location, they are surrounded by offices of medical practitioners whom they provide medications for their daily practice.

While medication compounding is the primary business of the pharmacy, Dr Binkley sees patients on an appointment schedule to answer specific health questions. Dr Binkley has unique training in evaluation of hormone imbalances and has been counseling patients for over ten years on the appropriate use of hormone therapy. Local physicians refer patients to him for evaluation and suggestions for changing their therapies to achieve optimal outcomes. In addition to these personal services, the pharmacy performs other personal services, including medication reviews, bioimpedance analysis, and First Line Therapy services. Nutritional counseling and advice on nutritional supplements are also part of the services Health & Wellness Pharmacy specializes in. To complement the overall wellness concept, the pharmacy is implementing an immunization program to serve the needs of increasing immunization risks.

The overall goal of the Health & Wellness pharmacy team is to help each patient develop self-help methods and education to start on an improved healthcare path. Dr Binkley wants each patient to begin to trust the chemistry within their bodies and continue to support that chemistry and function with nutrients, exercise, and an appropriate diet for optimal health.
