Alisa McMorris is a registered physician assistant and trigger point specialist at the Northport Wellness Center, where she helps patients reduce muscle pain and tension and support whole-body health through a holistic approach to pain relief.

Alisa completed her physician assistant training at Touro College in 2000, after earning a B.A. in biology with a minor in music from Ithaca College in 1995. She began her clinical career in family medicine from 2000–2002. In 2002, when her 8-month-old daughter required brain surgery and ongoing pain treatment for Chiari malformation, Alisa and her family became patients at the Northport Wellness Center. That experience shifted her professional focus and deepened her commitment to integrative pain care.

From 2003–2006, Alisa trained in pain management under the mentorship of Dr. Mehran Golpariani at Pain Management of Long Island. She continued expanding her education in holistic strategies for pain reduction, including trigger point therapy, with the goal of helping patients feel better and function more fully. In 2012, she joined the Northport Wellness Center as a trigger point specialist, blending clinical expertise with personal insight to create thoughtful, patient-centered care.

A lifelong learner, Alisa encourages patients to share what they’ve researched and learned, so they can work together to build the right plan for healing and long-term relief. She graduated from Touro College with the Maimonides Award, recognizing exceptional professional ideals.

Outside the office, Alisa enjoys spending time outdoors, traveling with her family, and supporting the arts. She also serves as co-president of the Andrew McMorris Foundation, which she founded with her husband, John, after their son was killed by a drunk driver in 2018. Alisa speaks to high schools about the dangers of drunk and impaired driving and advocates for related legislation in Albany and Washington, D.C. In 2025, she was honored with the New York State Senate Woman of Distinction award.
