11/15/2021 – Bear’s Compounding Pharmacy is officially open in Georgetown!
The business opened on Saturday, November 13. Owner Lorin Martin told Hello Georgetown she’s excited to return to her roots in Georgetown.
“I’m most excited about getting back into the community since I was born and raised here, and just coming back home and just connecting with patients,” Lorin Martin, owner of Bear’s Compounding Pharmacy, told Hello Georgetown. “What I love the most about independent pharmacy is that one, we’re not taking insurance. So, if I want to talk to patients all day long, I don’t have to be on the phone with insurance companies, and then two, just the personal connection, knowing people by name because we’re not this big corporate company…already just being on the square and doing construction, I’ve met so many people, and…Georgetown is just so friendly, so many amazing people around us.”
The business will be offering a variety of services in addition to their pharmacy including several wellness products.
“The products we carry, we carry them for a reason,” Martin said. “So, either I’m passionate about them, or I use them. So, for example, our skincare line is a medical grade skincare line. So, we carry that because it’s clean, it’s potent, it’s made by a pharmacist.”
Additionally, Bear’s Compounding Pharmacy will be able to compound medication for things like hormone replacement therapy, anti-aging creams, pain creams, and more. Martin added they also offer hormone replacement therapy testing.
Bear’s Compounding Pharmacy will be open Monday through Friday from 10 AM to 6 PM and on Saturday and Sunday, from 12 PM to 4 PM, and is located at 109 W 7th St Ste 115 on the Downtown Georgetown Square.

Bear’s Compounding Pharmacy is coming to Georgetown!
Owned and operated by Lorin and Jordan Martin, the business will be a cash-only pharmacy, meaning they will not process insurance, and as a result will be able to make >90% of generic medications affordable to all patients regardless of whether or not the patient has insurance.
“I have been in the pharmacy industry for over 10 years,” Lorin Martin told Hello Georgetown. “Over that time, I have seen people come into the pharmacy only to leave empty handed without lifesaving medications due to the exorbitant costs of their medications…Our pharmacy’s mission is a modern pharmacy with traditional values. I want every customer to leave feeling as if they are the most important and their health truly matters!”
Some of the products and services the pharmacy will offer include:
- Commercial Medications
- Compounded Medications
- A Professional Grade CBD Line
- Professional Grade Supplement Lines
- A Medical Grade Skincare Line
- Hormone Consulting
- Hormone Testing (Saliva Kits)
- Jewelry Lines
- Self-Care Products (Bath Bombs, Sugar Scrubs, etc)
- Homemade Cookies
- And More!
Martin added that because the pharmacy won’t process insurance, they will be able to offer medication at more affordable prices for patients.
“Our pharmacy cuts out the middleman (prescription insurance companies),” Lorin Martin said. “By not signing insurance contracts, we are allowed to price medications at any price we choose. This allows us to charge $5, $10, $15, etc for anywhere between 1 month to 3 months on thousands of commercial medications. People with or without insurance can come to us and hopefully be able to afford their medications and not leave empty handed. If a medication is too expensive for a patient, I can help point them in the right direction to find an affordable solution (even if that is not with us). ”
Bear’s Compounding Pharmacy will be able to do all medications, even those typically found at national pharmacies, and they will also compound medications from scratch.
“Compounding medications is vital for hormone replacement therapy, pain management, for medications not available in dosage forms on the market, for people who have allergies (we can compound things gluten-free, dairy-free, dye-free, etc),” Lorin Martin said. “Doctors can call in the prescriptions, fax them in, or electronically send them.”
The pharmacy is projected to open in the end of October or early November. Bear’s Compounding Pharmacy will be located at 109 W 7th St Ste 115 on the Downtown Georgetown Square.
