About us
A family pharmacy that has outlasted four Walgreens.
United Pharmacy opened at 1129 S Robertson Blvd in 1984. We've been on the same corner ever since — filling prescriptions, answering questions, and watching the neighborhood change around us.
Our story
Four decades on Robertson.
Started by the Pourmorady family in 1984, United has been independently owned for its entire run. No private equity. No “preferred provider” gotchas. Just a pharmacy.

What we believe
Three things we won’t compromise on.
01
Answer the phone.
Every call is answered by a person at our counter. If we miss you, we'll call back the same day.
02
Know the patient.
We maintain a full patient profile — every medication, every allergy, every prescriber. Before we fill anything new, we check.
03
Price transparently.
If a cash price is cheaper than your insurance copay, we'll tell you. No upcharges, no surprise fees on compounds.
