ABOUT US

ProvideHealth was created by Dr. James Atkins, MD with over 30 years of experience and Lori Gonzales, a physician assistant with over 15 years of experience.  Over the years they have noticed that more medications are being available over the counter. They kept seeing patients try and treat themselves, but the patients were often making the wrong medication choices and decided to contribute their knowledge and experience to develop a unique search algorithm that will help other patients. 

They also added in convenient filters for flavor or liquid vs pills, gluten-free options and so much more. 

ProvideHealth is the bridge between doctors, healthcare professionals and drugstores.  

At ProvideHealth we feel that people can and will self-treat to stay out of the doctor's office and should have plenty of high-quality options to choose from. ProvideHealth is a modern tool and resource to help you make better decisions for yourself and your loved ones. 

**Please note that at this time ProvideHealth does NOT contain information about prescription medications.
