Dr. Florin Moise

Joining Family Medical Practice in 2020, Dr. Florin Moise comes to us from his post as orthopedic surgery consultant, initially to the Brasov Military Hospital and then the private Medlife practice in his native Romania—where he specialized in lower limb arthroscopy, sports trauma, hip and knee reconstruction, joint preservation surgery and upper limb surgery. His experience in treating patients with military training accidents gave him the opportunity to extend his skills in trauma and repairing sports injuries.

An ambitious and driven medical student of the Bucharest University Hospital, Dr. Florin achieved high enough grades to allow him to specialize in orthopedics and study abroad—undertaking a fellowship in Cork, Ireland where he studied joint reconstruction and also sports medicine. Working in a public hospital located near a busy motorway exposed him to severe traffic injuries and a schedule of up to 10 surgeries per day. He also completed
numerous postgraduate courses in the field, including a three months visiting fellowship in
the US studying with the world’s foremost hip arthroscopist Dr. Marc Philippon.

Dr. Florin is an avid proponent of joint preservation surgery to repair/preserve damaged cartilage, meniscus and ligaments whenever possible. One popular modern technique is via collagen matrix repair, done arthroscopically—which has the potential to postpone the need for joint replacement. He hopes his position at Family Medical Practice will allow him to develop further as an orthopedic surgeon in an area with broad potential.

He is a member of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, the European Society of Sports Knee Arthroscopy, and the Association of Trauma.
