Former Pharmacy Owner. 18 Years. 50+ Stores.
The owner of Pharmacy Setup Consulting has 18 years of hands-on experience in the pharmacy industry — not as an advisor on the outside, but as an actual owner and operator of independent pharmacies. He has personally opened and run his own stores, which means he understands the real pressures, real timelines, and real costs that come with building a pharmacy from scratch.
Over his career, he has opened over 50 independent pharmacies across Pennsylvania and New Jersey — managing every phase from lease negotiation and buildout to DEA registration, state licensing, wholesale setup, and opening day operations. He has also consulted and helped credential pharmacies in most states across the country, assisting owners with DEA and state board issues, ownership transfers, regulatory compliance, and more.
Beyond setup, the team specializes in pharmacy marketing — helping new and existing owners build their brand, attract patients, and grow. Full Turnkey services are available in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware. Licensing, credentialing, and consulting services are available nationwide.
By the Numbers
Areas of deep expertise:
Help Independents Open Correctly, Quickly, and Profitably
Independent pharmacies are the backbone of community healthcare. We exist to make sure more of them open — and stay open — by providing the same level of expertise that corporate pharmacy chains have access to, for independent owners who deserve it just as much.
Experience That Counts
Started in the Trenches
Began in the pharmacy industry working at a grocery store pharmacy — learning the business from the ground level. From there, moved into helping set up independent pharmacies, getting hands-on experience with what it actually takes to get a store running.
Became a Pharmacy Owner
Made the leap into ownership — opening and operating independent pharmacies personally. With his own money and license on the line, he developed a deep, real-world understanding of every phase of the business.
50+ Pharmacies Opened
Over 18 years, opened and launched more than 50 independent pharmacies across Pennsylvania and New Jersey — developing a proven, repeatable system that gets stores open correctly and on time.
Licensing & Credentialing Across All 50 States
Expanded consulting reach to help pharmacy owners nationwide with DEA registration, state board licensing, NPI and NCPDP setup, Medicare & Medicaid enrollment, and credentialing — in most states across the country.
Full Turnkey + Marketing
Now offering complete Full Turnkey pharmacy setup in PA, NJ & DE — plus consulting nationwide. We also specialize in pharmacy marketing, helping owners build their brand, attract patients, and grow revenue from day one.
Why Pharmacy Owners Choose Us
We've Done This Ourselves
Every service we offer is something we have personally executed when opening our own pharmacies. We are not theoretical consultants — we are former operators.
Speed Without Shortcuts
We run all licensing and credentialing applications simultaneously. Our familiarity with state boards and federal agencies means fewer rejections and faster approvals.
We Understand Reimbursements
We know how reimbursements work because we have lived it. We set up your pharmacy to maximize reimbursable billing from day one — not as an afterthought.
Compliant by Design
We build compliance into every system, policy, and workflow — not as a checkbox, but because we understand the consequences of getting it wrong.
Turnkey or Targeted
Need everything or just one specific piece? We can do both. We meet you where you are in the process.
One Person, One Number
No handoffs. No account managers. You call one person who knows your project inside and out from day one to opening day.
