Traditional integrity for a modern world
Who we are
We receive private e-Prescriptions from clinicians, then hand deliver medication to their patients directly, reliably and stress-free.
Built on a belief that we should look after our patients as we would our own family, Pharmacierge makes this level of care attainable by everyone who relies on private medicine.
For more than 50 years, its family owners have pioneered excellence in pharmacy services. Now co-owned by its team and leading clinicians, Pharmacierge’s service and technology are recommended by private practices throughout the UK.

Our story
Our story, at its heart, is about family.
It’s behind our founding philosophy of ‘treating every patient as one of our own’. This personal approach of prizing concern for patients over profit, no matter who or where they are, has been Pharmacist Leon Ungar’s (MRPharmS) guiding principle since opening his first pharmacy more than 50 years ago.
In this same spirit, Robert Ungar designed the UK’s first private e-Prescribing platform, and joined by Dr Stuart Ungar (Co-founder of The Doctors Laboratory), Pharmacierge was born.
Pharmacierge today
Under the clinical governance of Leon and Stuart, and managed by Robert and ex-Google Director, Edward Ungar, the service has expanded into the largest network of private e-Prescribing clinicians in the UK.
From our robotically-enabled 5,500 sqft dispensary on Wimpole Street, adjacent to Harley Street, we deliver medication all over London, throughout the country and across the world.
Blending the latest technology with traditional pharmacy values, Pharmacierge has created a seamless, intuitive e-Prescription platform, and relationships with clinicians nationally. We’re honoured to be a trusted extension to their private practices.
We share ownership with our dedicated team and 80 leading private clinicians. Pharmacierge continues to model itself on the can-do, tech-enabled and empathetic approach pioneered by our founding clinicians. For us, pharmacy will always be about family, or as we refer to it; Pharmily.

Leon Ungar, Founding Member, RPS
Though founded in 1841, it was not until 1988 that the late Queen Elizabeth II granted the title "Royal" to the Royal Pharmaceutical Society.

Formerly Marsons Chemists (now a Robert Dyas hardware store) becomes Leon’s first appointment in the Marylebone area.
11 New Cavendish Street, London W1
Formerly Maitland Chemists. Gas jets burned constantly in the dispensary to heat the wax that staff used to seal dispensed medicines, and given the era, to light cigarettes and pipes.
