and 1995. He has been a member of the
American Academy of Sleep Medicine since 1995.

Currently, Dr. Moore has a practice that is about evenly split between neurology
and sleep medicine. As a neurologist he is expert in diagnosing and treating people
with many common diseases including epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, migraine headaches
and nerve entrapment syndromes as well as disorders of the spine and muscles. Because the brain controls and regulates
sleep, the practice of neurology overlaps considerably with the practice of sleep
medicine. As such, many patients with
a disorder of sleep may present with complaints that suggest a neurological problem
while many patients with neurological disorders may experience problems with sleep. He is able to perform any currently
available clinical sleep testing including overnight polysomnography (sleep study),
MSLT (used primarily in the diagnosis of narcolepsy) and MWT (used primarily in
evaluating therapy in professional drivers).
He has extensive experience in diagnosing and treating professional drivers that
generally results in no time lost from work.
The field of sleep medicine is undergoing important changes in credentialing on
the next several years. It is important
that you see a qualified Sleep Medicine Specialist to get the best care possible
in the diagnosis and treatment of your sleep disorder.
Dr. Moore is married to the former Anya Goudenko.
He has four children, Kayla, Alexander, Nicholas and Lucas.
He relishes his family time.
He also enjoys reading especially history, philosophy, poetry and politics. He has recently become something of
an amateur gardener planting flowers twice annually.
He views the physician:patient relationship as one of cooperation and mutual teaching
and learning. He believes that patients
who take a more active role in their illnesses, availing themselves of important
information, generally have much better outcomes.
He welcomes questions from his patients.
He loves the art of medicine especially the physician:patient encounter which
provides an opportunity not just to treat an illness but to alleviate suffering,
improve quality of life and impart the patient with a better understanding of his
illness and the rationale for its therapy.
