Medford Chemists

What Medford Chemists does

Medford Chemists is a privately-held independent community pharmacy founded in 1964 and headquartered at 2608 Route 112 in Medford, New York. Operating across a Montauk-to-Manhattan corridor with 13 employees, the pharmacy serves both individual patients and healthcare facilities, including assisted living communities, skilled nursing facilities, hospitals, hospice, correctional facilities, and group homes. The company distinguishes itself through personalized service (wait times under 10 minutes, 24/7 pharmacist availability, free home delivery, and custom Dispill multi-dose packaging) and a comprehensive facility services vertical supported by Cycle-Fill and Assisted Refill programs that cover approximately 80% of facility medications.

The company's technology stack is built on partnerships rather than in-house development: Micro Merchant Systems' PrimeWeb platform powers the PrimeMD facility portal for caregiver data access, while Digital Pharmacist/Lumistry provides the consumer-facing PocketRx mobile app and online prescription refill portal. Core capabilities include prescription dispensing, custom compounding (dye-free, preservative-free, alcohol-free, sugar-free formulations), specialty medication management for complex conditions (oncology, MS, hepatitis C, HIV, rheumatoid arthritis), immunizations, pharmacy consulting, and staff training. The company also operates two adjacent subsidiaries: PharmCo Health, a wholesale pharmaceutical distribution division serving other facilities and pharmacies, and AllProMed NY, a durable medical equipment (DME) division.

Revenue is generated entirely through transaction-based dispensing fees, professional services (consulting and training), hardware sales (DME), and wholesale margin. Pricing is quote-based and customized per facility, with no public price list. The business is privately funded with no disclosed external capital, run by President Dr. Ricky Vohora and Managing Director Crystal Leberto. The go-to-market combines direct-to-consumer channels (walk-in, phone, online, mobile app) with enterprise field sales into facility accounts across the Long Island and greater New York metro region.
