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.

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.

Mir Shariat – Staff Pharmacist

Mir is a constant friendly face at the pharmacy. In fact, most of the customers know him by name. Originally a pharmacist back in his home country of Iran, Mir has decades of experience, making him a great addition to our pharmacy team.
