The expertise, skill, and passion of Dr. John Moor – Sarasota’s knee, shoulder, and hip specialist – is evidenced by his accomplishments as an orthopedic surgeon in Florida and beyond. He is the only orthopedic surgeon in Sarasota who is fellowship-trained in both arthroscopy and shoulder surgery. He trained at the world-renowned Steadman Hawkins Clinic in Denver (where his patients included athletes from the Denver Broncos, Colorado Rockies, and U.S. Ski Team) and the University of Iowa’s Hawkeye Sports Medicine Center.
Although Dr. Moor’s expertise lies in arthroscopy and joint replacement of the knee, shoulder, and hip, he also treats many other orthopedic and sports medicine issues. His patients come from all over the U.S. and include professional athletes, college sports teams, and Olympians. Dr. Moor also sees young athletes with sports injuries, middle-age weekend warriors, and senior citizens needing hip and knee replacements. With such an extensive and specialized skill set, it’s no wonder patients seek him out.
Dr. Moor received his medical degree from the Medical College of Ohio in Toledo in 1983 and completed his residency training in orthopedic surgery at Ochsner Medical Center in Jefferson, Louisiana, in 1988. He then completed two fellowship trainings: in sports medicine and arthroscopy at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics (1989) and in orthopedic shoulder surgery at the University of Western Ontario (1990). He is double board-certified, in both orthopedic surgery and orthopedic sports medicine.
Dr. Moor has earned national recognition as a guest speaker at national orthopedic conferences, and he’s had the honor of teaching international orthopedic surgeons with the Arthroscopic Association of North America (AANA). Other achievements include being an elected member of the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine (AOSSM), an editor for the Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery, and an associate professor at Florida State University’s College of Medicine (in Tallahassee, Florida) and at the Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine (in Erie, Pennsylvania).
In his spare time, Dr. Moor leads an active lifestyle in Florida with his wife and four children. He was an athletic child and student who loved sports, whose abilities were recognized with a Division I football scholarship to Kent State University in Ohio. In his spare time, Dr. Moor coaches basketball, baseball, and soccer and attends local sporting events with his family.
Initially, I felt a sense of relief, particularly upon learning that surgery would not be necessary. However, upon returning home, I found myself somewhat troubled by the manner in which the appointment unfolded. I am experiencing pain due to a torn meniscus, which radiates up my femur. Dr. Moor suggested that my discomfort might be psychosomatic. I would like to clarify that the issue is indeed physical, localized in my knee and femur. Having worked in a medical environment and with a brother who is a physician, I sensed that the doctor may have assumed I was seeking pain medication, which is far from the truth. In reality, I have a strong aversion to pain medications, as they make me extremely ill, and I therefore avoid them whenever possible. Consequently, I am left with a $70 copay and ongoing pain, while being advised to refrain from activities that exacerbate my condition. It seems I will be confined to the couch for the foreseeable future.
Excellent isn't a high enough rating for him. Outstanding, superior or top of the charts might be closer.
Dr Moore has been very helpful to me. Everyone is very nice and his office is especially helpful and nice.
Exceptional Doctor! Looking forward to getting my life back…with his help.
Very professional, knowledgeable and kind doctor and staff. They showed me empathy and accommodated me in every way possible. Would highly recommend!
Great Dr. He takes his time with you and explains everything.
Very attentive and compassionate.
Demeanor and personal attention is outstanding!
He’s the best.
Wonderful experience. My husband came with me because of my shoulder, but he was so impressed with the doctor that he will probably be coming back for his shoulder. The doctor was most kind and very understanding.
