It can be uneasy to walk in and not be able to see your personal provider. Having said that, Dr. Moore was EXCELLENT and I'd see him again and again. Grateful to know Dr. H, who I also think is fantastic, has a wonderful partner as an option if he's not available. Dr. Moore clearly cares about patients, even those who are not regularly his own. He was terrific and extremely respectful. Listened well and problem solved. Really good doc.

All good

Nothing but good. I am fortunate to have Dr Moore as my physician. OUTSTANDING !!
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
There's a disconnect between what is included in the online pre-registration process and the questions asked at check-in. This felt repetitive and was unwelcoming. The disconnect is creating friction which I perceive to be just the opposite of what a pre-registration process should deliver. Instead of having a smooth check in, I'm forced to go through a tedious process before I get in for my appointment only to be asked the same and more questions when I arrive.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
I have been with Dr. Moore for over two decades. Am always comfortable with his understanding my history and current health matters. After years of patient service, I had my wife become a patient of his. My hesitancy on whether a recommendation would be forthcoming is due to the amount of overload I have observed. I believe any urgent questions are handled appropriately, but I no longer consider asking questions that would stray from the pre-determined reason for being there. It isn't a result of HIS not accepting further inquiry, it is my reading the pressures with time that he's operating with, therefore not wanting to take more of his time.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
I would become a patient of this doctor if he had any room
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Dr. Moore addressed all of my concerns. He referred me to my gastroenterologist - for a recommended follow-up colonoscopy. Dr. Moore's examinations give me confidence that medical issues. Will be discovered and addressed in a timely manner.

The doctor was called out of our visit at since point. Later when I was trying to ask about one of my health concerns that I specifically made the appointment for, I was told we were out of time. I generally really like dr Moore, but the combination of these two thing really made me feel like I didn't matter to my own doctor. I now have to wait another month before seeing anyone about this other medical problem
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Wonderful appointment. Dr. Moore is a great primary care physician.

Dr Moore was respectful and started by asking what issues I was concerned about or what was on my agenda; helpful. he listened intently to my medical concerns and the aging process and provided helpful explanations regarding my blood tests, meds that I've considered but have not started until now and whether there was a good reason for me to have a POLST. His guidance was helpful and attuned to me and my medical needs. this was the most beneficial meeting I've had w him.

I did but have any questions with his competency but the doctor's "bedside manner" makes me feel awkward and uncomfortable. Weird reactions to some of my questions, bad jokes, and strange stories make for an overall uncomfortable experience.

Dr. Moore carefully listened to me describe my issue. We then had a thoughtful, and informative, discussion culminating in a course of action which met my needs.

Dr. Moore is very competent and patient. His nurse, Helen, is outstanding.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
I'm a bit hard of hearing. The receptionist was behind plexiglass, wearing a mask, and had a slight accent. The mask prevented me from watching lips. She was very patient repeating her questions.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
One of the best yearly checkups I have ever had. The entire team (receptionist, nurse, physician) was professional, efficient, and friendly. At each step I was treated with most respect and consideration. Thank you Dr. Moore and the team!
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
As a patient with severe/profound hearing loss and auditory processing disorder, I very much appreciated Dr. Moore's and Nurse Helen's willingness to work on communicating with me in a way that I could understand what they were saying to me. However, upon entrance to the clinic, I had to rely on my wife to act as oral interpreter in relaying staff's instructions and questions to me.

Wait times are excessive....like Dr. Moore says...."our personalities clash"

Dr Moore and his team are the absolute best. He got me in at the end of a busy day for an emergency stemming from unrelated wye surgery. He went above and beyond, as always, to make sure that I got the best possible care. It is reassuring to know I have someone like him looking out for me. Thank you!

Dr Moore has an exceptional engaging manner with patients that leads him to prescribe a sound and balanced approach to staying healthy. For example he doesn't suggest a barrage of tests, he listens really well to understand what will be the most appropriate approach.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
I've been Dr Moore's patient for almost a decade. He knows everything about me and treats me to the best of his knowledge and respect every single time. He listens to my concerns and suggestions.Scheduling appointments with him is a little tricky as he's so busy, seeing way too many patients. He and/or his team respond to my emails/messages promptly.

The person in the back office trying to collect my insurance information a couple days before the visit insisted that I read a number from my insurance card that did not exist. She was trying her best but was apparently not trained on what information she was needing.

Very good experience
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Dr. Moore was extremely patient in a very busy day it seems. Even though I was his last patient of the day he took as much time as my new patient appointment needed. I felt he was very thorough.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
I prefer a doctor who speaks to me and makes eye contact- instead the doctor sits in the corner on the computer reading chart notes or and barely looking at me or talking to me. when he does speak he is condescending or dismissive. He may be smart but his bedside manner is not great.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
I think he is a very caring provider

I answered that no one called me about test results, but, they're available on the Legacy web site. The receptionist who screened me outside the office was very welcoming and pleasant.

The phone in system is unpredictable. Sometimes there is a 12 ring wait before answered. Then your call is triaged as to what your call is about - in the past there was a set up to press one of appt. then on to dr.'s p.m. extension - that WORKS BUT they got rid of system - it has been VERY frustrating to reach PA WU arguing with whoever answered the phone. I personally don't us email & texting to enable me to go around the person that answers. Many people just email doc.

Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
I consider Dr. Moore to be a first-rate professional with the knowledge at hand to provide guidance for any medical question or need that I have. When needed, he referred me to similarly top-tier specialists; this was a source of deep comfort for me. I couldn't be more pleased with the care I have received from Dr. Moore-the time spent, the fresh approach to perhaps older issues, and the probing he does to make sure that all of my concerns have been addressed during our visit.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Dr. Moore is an excellent doctor, an active listener, and his medical insights and guidance about my health aid in inspiring me to do my best in optimizing my own health efforts. As he converses with me, he asks many questions and follows up with his professional insights. He has a wonderful team that works together seamlessly, efficiently and they are always positive and friendly. A top doctor!
