A graduate of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) School of Pharmacy, one of the nation’s top-ranked pharmacy programs, he has been a licensed California pharmacist since 2016.

Dor leads every part of the pharmacy’s compounding practice, from formulation development and prescription verification to quality control and regulatory compliance. He is trained in all three core United States Pharmacopeia (USP) compounding standards, and he personally reviews every clinical page on this site for accuracy, medication status and safety before it is published. His name on a page means he has read it and stands behind it.

  • Beyond-use dating
  • Staff training and supervision

How he works with prescribers and patients

Dor’s approach is collaborative. The prescriber decides the therapy; the pharmacy’s job is to prepare it precisely, document it fully and stand behind it. When a commercially available product does not meet a patient’s needs, he works directly with the prescribing clinician on the right strength, dosage form or combination, and he counsels patients on how to use and store what they receive.
