Clark's Compounding Pharmacy

What Clark's Compounding Pharmacy does

Clark's Compounding Pharmacy is an independent, family-owned compounding pharmacy operating from a single location at 15615 Bel-Red Road, Bellevue, Washington under the legal entity Ipsen Pharmacy Services, LLC. The business was originally established in 1980 and was acquired by current owners Dawn Ipsen (CEO and pharmacist) and Michael Ipsen (COO) in October 2016; it operates a sister store, Kusler's Compounding Pharmacy, in Snohomish, WA. The team comprises five named pharmacists (Dawn Ipsen, Katie, Gabi, Leonisa, and the Ipsen-owned sister store leadership) plus compounding technicians and pharmacy assistants, keeping total disclosed headcount in the 1–10 range.

The company custom-prepares medications from raw ingredients to meet patient-specific requirements across 14 specialty areas, including bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (cBHRT), dermatology, pain management, pediatrics, oncology support, wound care, and veterinary medicine spanning dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, birds, ferrets, reptiles, and zoo animals. Its technical capabilities cover non-sterile compounding under USP standards, with delivery formats spanning capsules, topical creams and gels, suspensions, troches, suppositories, nasal sprays, lollipops, and veterinary treats. The company also distributes nutritional supplements through its proprietary KC Pro-Nutrients brand (with personalized Pro-Nutrient Packs) and third-party professional lines including Thorne, Xymogen, Metagenics, and others via its own e-commerce storefront and partnered platforms.

Revenue is generated through prescription compounding, 30–60 minute professional consultations, and supplement sales both in-store and online. Go-to-market relies on prescriber referral networks, direct patient interactions at the Bellevue storefront, content marketing via the KC Wellness Talks podcast (YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts) and active social channels, and event participation such as the 2026 ACVIM Forum. The company holds HIPAA and WCAG 2.0 AA compliance certifications and maintains memberships in PCCA, APC, and IACP industry associations.
