Complex Medical CasesPatient-Centered CareListens & Believes PatientsWeight-Neutral CareWhen two other doctors told me that my only option for a very large abdominal cyst was an open hysterectomy, I felt devastated. Preserving my uterus mattered deeply to me, and I was losing hope. Then I met Dr. Moore. From our very first appointment, she truly listened. She explained that the final surgical decision would have to be made in the operating room based on what she found and the pathology during surgery. She couldn't make any promises, but she assured me that if it was safe, she would do everything she could to perform the least invasive surgery possible and preserve my uterus. Those words gave me hope when I needed it most. She did exactly that. She was able to perform a minimally invasive surgery and save my uterus. When the final pathology revealed a borderline tumor, her care didn't end there. She had continued to follow me closely for nearly 10 years, always taking the time to answer my questions and provide reassurance. Dr. Moore is an extraordinary physician, but even more importantly, she is an extraordinary human being. Her kindness, compassion, and genuine concern for her patients are evident in every interaction. Even when she has to deliver difficult news, she does so with empathy, grace, and unwavering support. I have referred others to her who needed a gynecologic oncologist because I trust her completely. In all my years of receiving medical care, I have never had a physician like Dr. Moore. While I appreciate every member of my medical team, she stands apart. Her surgical skill gave me the best possible outcome, and her compassion carried me through one of the most frightening times of my life. I will always be grateful for the care she gave me and recommend her without hesitation.
