Dr. Moore is a psychiatrist currently practicing with his private practice, Moore Family Care, LLC. He has over five decades of experience in his field.

His patients have excellent experiences with him, one stating, “Dr. Moore has always given me the time I needed, not just the time I was scheduled for and listened to me more attentively than any other doctor I have ever seen. He is compassionate and knowledgeable and takes the time to educate you about your condition and the medication he is prescribing for you. I’m not sure I would be here if not for him.”
Another stating, “Dr. Moore is an excellent and caring doctor. My son saw him and he really made my son feel like a person, not a number. He really listens to what you have to say and doesn’t rush you out to get to the next patient. If you want to get the help you need, he is the doctor to see!!!!!”
Psychiatry is the branch of medicine focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders. People seek psychiatric help for many reasons. The problems can be sudden, such as a panic attack, frightening hallucinations, thoughts of suicide, or hearing “voices.” Or they may be more long-term, such as feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or anxiousness that never seem to lift or problems functioning, causing everyday life to feel distorted or out of control.
