Alissa Ury

Alissa Pantorno, PharmD, is a New York-licensed pharmacist with 12 years of experience in pharmacy, including 9 years as a licensed pharmacist. Alissa earned her Doctor of Pharmacy degree from St. John’s University and maintains an active pharmacist license in New York. 

Her background includes community and long-term care pharmacy, where she has worked extensively with medication safety, drug interactions, dosing, and clinical decision-making. She is attentive to details that can change how a patient understands or uses a medication, including dosing errors, differences between formulations, unsupported safety claims, and wording that overstates what the evidence actually shows.

In her work as a medical fact checker, Alissa reviews health content against FDA labeling, clinical guidelines, primary literature, and other authoritative medical sources. She enjoys digging through conflicting information, identifying the clinically meaningful issue, and turning it into a clear, evidence-backed correction that still makes sense to someone without a medical background.
