MEDICAL STATISTICS

TRAINING
About Doctor Moore Born and raised in Northern California; I was active in year-around sports and played a year of college football at U.C. Davis while following my father’s legacy as an engineer. After taking a biology course a year later, I quickly realized that the ultimate machine was the human body and transferred to U.C. Berkeley to graduate with an Arts Bachelor in Physiology. My love for the Bay area, Mother’s nursing influence and experience in a clinic watching foot surgery convinced me to attend medical school in San Francisco.
Upon completion of my degree, I was selected to attend a surgical training program in Houston, Texas where I now reside. I am grateful for the experience, training and excellent medical community here. My position on hospital committees and teaching surgical techniques at our residency program keeps me on the cutting edge and up to date in this ever changing health care sector. Now in my fifties, my daughters, clinic, and pursuit in the wellness industry renew my enthusiasm for life, daily.

What are the safest options for pain relief ?
As podiatrists and foot surgeons, we are committed to helping patients understand the surgery process. The type of anesthesia that we use for extremity foot surgery is very light. Patients are out and not conscious, which is what most people want to know. You are not going to wake up during the procedure.
Anesthetic is very light and very safe. The procedures are always around an hour to two hours max so there’s not as much time under sedation and henceforth, less complications and less difficulties waking up and feeling groggy or hungover.

Costs, Insurance and Financial Concerns
Our office will work with you on costs. When patients come into the office, insurance coverage is discussed and verified. We check to see where their deductible is, what type of out of pocket expenses are required so you know where you are on that level.
Second of all, we look into the type of facility. For example, we have in-network and out of network facilities. I am an In-Network foot doctor and foot surgeon in Houston provider so they don’t have to worry about my coverage on their insurance.
Our office submits each procedure so you know about coverage.
We use surgical and non-surgical techniques to improve the appearance of our patient’s feet
Our physicians are the top practitioners in cosmetic foot surgery. We can correct deformities, improve comfort and appearance of feet and ankles.
