Dr Moore was willing to explain clearly what is entailed in anterior hip surgery. He also explained team approach, expectations concerning any of my post-op worries. Dr Moore also had a series of exercises for me to use to improve my "new" hip. I really appreciated Dr Moore's knowledge and approach.

Dr. Willard Moore was excellent. He told care of me - address addition concerns - My care was more caring than I could have imagined.

February 2024

Dr. Moore was outstanding. He was very friendly and personable. Many younger physicians don't examine the patient and order imaging first. Not Dr. Moore. He took the time to take an adequate history and then perform an appropriate physical examination. This Is how It should be. We had a good discussion with shared decision making. Excellent!
