I cannot recommend Dr. Moore highly enough based on my experience. He took his time to put me at ease and fully explain my diagnosis and the suggested procedures during the pre-op appointment, and the procedure and post-op went smoothly. He is an excellent communicator; and, he and his staff were very efficient and respectful of my time as well. I could not have asked for better treatment.

I had proctocolectemy with ileostomy surgery for Crohn's disease in 2001 by Dr. Moore. He is an outstanding surgeon with a great manor. He was highly recommended by an RN friend who had assisted him with surgeries for many years. My outcome was great, and, I had no complications whatsoever after the surgery.

I have seen Dr Moore several times after he did surgery. I cannot tell you how pleased I was with the way I was treated before and after my surgery. He is a wonderful surgeon and a kind caring one also!
