Who needs this profile

Company-level due diligence falls to the roles accepting vendor risk.

A company profile matters to the clinic roles responsible for vendor risk before signing a prescriber agreement. Three of them carry that weight.

  • Owners

    Founders accepting compounder risk.

    Owners accept ongoing risk when they establish a pharmacy partnership because their patient supply chain depends on the compounder's continued operation, quality, and state licensure. For VLS Pharmacy, the owner-operator structure (Gopesh Patel, R.Ph) means the pharmacy's continuity is tied to one individual — a fact to factor into risk assessment alongside the positive indicators (LegitScript certification, PCCA membership, established patient reviews).

  • Operators

    Ops leads assessing day-to-day reliability.

    Operations staff depend on VLS Pharmacy to receive, compound, and ship prescriptions consistently. Reliability signals from public sources include Google reviews emphasizing responsive pharmacist care, scripts filled within 48 hours, and a consistent team. The pharmacy's business hours are Monday through Friday, 9:30am to 6:30pm EST, which is the window for reaching a pharmacist directly at 844-857-5588.

  • Prescribers

    Providers confirming legitimacy and 503A compliance.

    Prescribers want assurance the pharmacy they send patient-specific scripts to is licensed, certified, and compliant. VLS Pharmacy's LegitScript certification is the key public signal — LegitScript certification requires pharmacies to meet stringent standards for legal operation, prescription dispensing practices, and online advertising compliance. PCCA membership and third-party testing add additional quality signals.

Public company facts: what is confirmed

VLS Pharmacy Inc. is the legal entity for the Brooklyn location; New Drug Loft Pharmacy is the separate legal entity for the Manhattan location. Both are independent pharmacies — the website notes 'No additional pharmacies are affiliated with our entities.' Both operate under Gopesh Patel, R.Ph, who is identified as the compounding pharmacist-in-charge and owner on the newdrugloft.com About page. Patel focuses on high-quality prescriptions, custom compounds, and overseeing the sterile compounding facilities at VLS Pharmacy.

VLS Pharmacy has been in operation long enough to accumulate 81 Google reviews at a 4.8 rating, with reviewers spanning several years and noting consistent pharmacist relationships, responsive customer service, and same-to-next-day compounding turnarounds in several cases. The pharmacy operates retail hours in addition to compounding services, accepts Express Scripts and Cigna insurance for retail (non-compounded) prescriptions, and provides superbills for compounded medications. International shipping for select compounded prescriptions is available per applicable regulations.

What VLS Pharmacy does not disclose publicly

VLS Pharmacy's public site as of June 2026 does not disclose revenue, total prescription volume, number of active prescriber accounts, outside investment or funding, or a specific list of states the pharmacy is licensed to ship to (the list is described as available on the site but was not directly accessible in our June 2026 review — confirm the current shipping state list at newdrugloft.com before establishing a prescriber account). Funding and customer counts are not published and are common omissions for privately held pharmacy businesses.

For due diligence beyond the public facts, request directly: which states VLS Pharmacy is currently licensed to ship to for compounded medications; the specific LegitScript certification status and renewal date; the pharmacy's DEA registration and state pharmacy board license number; and references from clinics with a similar prescriber profile and patient mix to yours. These are standard pharmacy vendor due diligence questions and VLS Pharmacy should answer them during the account setup conversation.
