Dr. Derek Moore is an excellent physician and I recommend him very strongly. He listens well to patient’s complaints and explains treatment options with great clarity. I believe he literally saved my life. After months of trying to alleviate lower back, leg , and buttocks pain with physical therapy, Dr. Moore was recommended to me by the Sansum Pain center for further treatment. Dr. Moore’s recommendation was a lamenectomy. The surgery was performed in January 2023 and was successful. I was in the hospital three days after the surgery for recovery and checkout procedures. Five days later, I developed a high fever and pain at the surgical site. Dr. Moore scheduled to see me immediately, evaluated the situation, determined it was a serious staph infection (later turning into sepsis) and scheduled me for a second surgery that afternoon to clean up and drain the infection. With weeks of antibiotic treatments my health has completely returned. The infectious disease doctors that monitored the treatment in the hospital frequently commented that Dr. Moore’s quick actions were “essential,” “best of care” or “spot on.” I received excellent care from Dr. Derek Moore.
