Live Oak Pharmacy is a downtown Austin gem that focuses on an integrative approach to healthcare. This compounding pharmacy collaborates one-on-one with patients and their primary doctors to create an individualized experience that transcends the traditional prescription drop-off.

Live Oak Pharmacy was co-founded by longtime friends Nathan Pope and Scot Maitland with a vision of restoring the role of pharmacist as an important healthcare provider. “Live Oak serves as the third place for patients to seek medical advice when there is no need for emergency attention from the ER or doctor,” explains Maitland, Owner and Director of Communications. Live Oak is Austin’s home for prescription compounding which encompasses pediatrics, dermatology, dental, pain management and yes, even medications for your pet! The philosophy behind this entails that prescriptions produced straight from drug manufacturers may not work for everyone, as a customized solution is essential to pharmaceutical practice.

Live Oak’s individualized services take pharmaceutical care to the next level with its emphasis on maintaining a lifestyle of wellness for all, regardless of medical history. “We carry high quality vitamins for young and active people as well,” says Pope, Live Oak’s Owner and Director of Pharmacy. In addition to their vitamin wellness advice, Live Oak utilizes the power of the personal consultation to answer questions, explain personal treatment options and consult with your primary healthcare provider in order to create a plan that will not only get you healthy, but help you maintain it.

With retail boutiques galore, “Live Oak Pharmacy makes downtown Austin more livable,” Maitland explains. Live Oak is a small business at heart, as it carries many local health products ranging from concentrated herb drops by Herbalogic, to their very own lip balm, Lip Smackulous, made from essential oils and organic ingredients. Starting off the New Year, both owners will continue to pursue their wellness vision for the Austin community by extending Live Oak’s reach to more practitioners and patients. In addition, programs such as The Un-Presentation Happy Hours will continue as well, in which Live Oak hosts an evening of innovative healthcare presentations in an upbeat environment accompanied by libations and tasty treats.

“From the design of the store with its painted gleeful green walls, to the fact that Nathan doesn’t wear a white lab coat, we are focused on the patient experience. Style is only as good as the body that is doing those things,” Maitland says. “Live Oak Pharmacy encourages everyone to maintain a healthy lifestyle.”
