Our Practice Philosophy
Moore Orthopaedics was founded in 1995, dedicated to providing quality orthopaedic care to the Wilmington community.
Robert M. Moore M.D.
Dr. Moore grew up in Wilmington, and graduated from New Hanover High School, class of 1968. He attended college and medical school at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. His orthopaedic surgical training was also at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
Dr. Moore returned to Wilmington in 1981, where he has been in orthopaedic practice since. He became board certified in Orthopaedic Surgery in 1984, and is a Fellow of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons.
Dr. Moore believes strongly that conservative, nonsurgical treatment is often the best approach for most orthopaedic conditions.
Whenever surgery may be the better alternative, Dr. Moore, with 25+ years of surgical training and experience, updated by the latest continuing education programs, can help you to understand the treatment options, and refer you to the appropriate surgical subspecialist if needed.
He is a member of the senior attending staff of Novant New Hanover Regional Medical Center and the Cape Fear Orthopedic Hospital, where orthopaedic surgery is performed with state-of-the-art facilities and staff.
