When you’re looking up a medication — or trying to understand a diagnosis — it’s not just information you’re after. You want someone who gets it. Someone who knows the science but also knows what it’s like to be on the other side of the screen, feeling uncertain, overwhelmed, or simply searching for real answers.
That’s exactly who Dr. Brian Holtry is.
Dr. Brian Holtry is a U.S.-based medical doctor with over 15 years of experience in clinical practice, with a strong focus on infectious diseases and pharmacology. He graduated from the University of Michigan Medical School and has dedicated his career to making complex medical information easy to understand. Today, he’s one of the leading authors of AntiinfectiveMeds.com, a blog about medicines and diseases, where he combines science with empathy to support readers around the world. Through his articles, Dr. Holtry helps patients and families make informed, confident decisions about their health.
A Midwestern Start with a Lifelong Mission
Dr. Brian Holtry was born and raised in Columbus, Ohio, in a family where compassion was more than just a word — it was a way of life. His father was a teacher, and his mother was a nurse. From an early age, Brian saw how knowledge and care could change people’s lives.
That deep-rooted belief pushed him toward medicine — not for the title, but for the opportunity to explain the “why” behind every prescription, every symptom, and every strange-sounding diagnosis.
He earned his MD from the University of Michigan Medical School, one of the top medical institutions in the country. There, he also developed a strong focus on infectious diseases and pharmacology. After completing his residency, he worked in clinical practice and research for years, balancing textbooks with real-world patient stories.
From Exam Rooms to the Digital World
Brian never planned to become a writer. But over the years, he noticed a pattern:
Patients were more afraid of what they didn’t understand than of the illness itself.
So he started writing — not just for medical journals, but for real people. The kind who Google their medications late at night. The kind who don’t have a medical degree but still need clarity, fast.
Today, Dr. Holtry is proud to be one of the lead contributors to AntiinfectiveMeds.com, a growing resource for reliable, understandable, and science-based medical information. He not only writes in-depth articles about medications and diseases but also helps guide the direction of the blog, ensuring that every piece of content serves the people who need it most.
His goal?
To make the world of anti-infective medicine accessible to everyone, not just healthcare insiders.
