Pinar & Huseyin Tunc, Rph
The mother of the family who has been a backbone since the family's inception back in 1978. With a smile on her face, she fills in gaps in the pharmacy, places a women-touch, and keeps the family straight.
Huseyin,
The father in the family is a graduate of Pharmacy School of the University of Istanbul, Turkey, and the University of Maryland, and also has an MBA degree from the University of Phoenix.
Prior to re-opening Kensington Pharmacy, Huseyin has spent 22 years with a national supermarket-drug chain. His positions included a staff pharmacist, pharmacy manager, pharmacy regional supervisor and pharmacy division director. While working at retail, also by working at Holy Cross Hospital pharmacy for many years, he gained clinical pharmacy experience
Melike G. Tunc, Pharm. D - Staff Pharmacist
Melike, also a University of Maryland School of Pharmacy graduate, loves chatting with customers and they love chatting with her. She also provides medication reviews to some of our group homes and assisted living facilities, making her an excellent source for clinical questions. She lives with her husband and very cute dog Ruby.
Owner & Pharmacist
Hatice Pinar Tunc
The owner of Kensington Pharmacy. She is the main force behind our over the counter and gift shop area, constantly maintaining inventory from over 40 vendors. She and her husband Huseyin Tunc opened Kensington Pharmacy in 2005 and managed it together as a team until Huseyin unfortunately passed away in 2016 from a brave battle with colon cancer. Pinar makes sure to keep his legacy going strong, both by managing the pharmacy and his memorial fund. Married for almost 40 years, Pinar and Huseyin immigrated from Turkiye in 1978 and have two daughters and two adorable grandchildren who love to visit “grandmommy” every chance they get.
