About Craig Moores MD
Dr. Moores earned his medical degree from Albany Medical College in Albany, NY. He then completed a general surgery residency at Yale University School of Medicine and is certified by the American Board of Surgery. He sought further training by completing a plastic surgery residency at the University of South Carolina Medical School and completed his final year of training with a hand and microsurgery fellowship at Yale. Dr. Moores is triple board certified in hand surgery, plastic surgery and general surgery.
During his training Dr. Moores conducted research in opioid prescribing patterns and protocols to standardize opioid prescribing. He was fortunate enough to present his research nationally to the American Society of the Hand and the American Society of Plastic Surgery. In 2018 he won the resident research award from the Medical University of South Carolina division of Plastic, Reconstructive and Hand surgery.
Dr. Moores has clinical interests in hand surgery, reconstructive surgery, congenital hand defects, plastic surgery, nerve reconstruction, body contouring, breast augmentation as well as breast implant removal, skin cancer reconstruction, facial rejuvenation, and abdominal wall reconstruction. In college, he majored in studio art with a concentration in sculpture. Dr. Moores was inspired to become a plastic surgeon as this career allowed him to combine his passion for science and helping people with his passion for creative thinking and art.
His personal philosophy of care is to work with patients and families to manage their individual needs and achieve the best possible outcomes both functionally and aesthetically. Dr. Moores enjoys the time he spends with patients and their families and believes that through open and honest communication, a patient and physician can best understand each other and reach the best care decisions together.
During his medical training, Dr. Moores participated in several medical missions abroad. Throughout these experiences, he was able to use his skills as a physician, as well as his respect, and interest in different cultures to communicate with others despite language barriers. Participating in these missions was a gratifying experience that Dr. Moores wants to continue with throughout his professional career. In his downtime, Dr. Moores enjoys surfing, fly fishing, and spending time with his wife and two daughters.

Patient Comments (59)
I had a positive experience, thank you.
I got an appointment quickly after my injury was seen by this doctor and explained everything fully about my injury and choices for my recovery. Thank you:)
Dr. Moores and the entire staff provided exceptional care during my visit. I am especially grateful to Nurse [Name] whose patience, compassion, and attentiveness made a significant difference in my experience. Their professionalism and kindness truly set a high standard. I would rate my overall experience a 10 out of 10, and I am sincerely thankful for the outstanding service I received.
I sat in the waiting room for 45 minutes. I'd like to be seen in a more timely fashion. My time is important too.
Everyone was friendly, attentive and knowledgeable.
I was brought in on time and the doctor explained everything and told me there would be a six month follow up.
I was able to come in on a Friday, the day after calling. This was great because I was in a lot of pain and it would have been at least through the weekend. Dr. Moores is excellent. He was obviously very familiar with my condition and what to do for it. Much appreciated.
great visit however I feel rushed and tend to forget to ask specific questions. I now feel that I should write things down before I go, that's on me.
Very kind. Explained my options and actively listened to me
Dr Moores is great but I also need to recognize [Name] SHE IS OUTSTANDING! She knows her stuff, is patient and kind. She is the glue to that operation!
The staff were great. The ladies at the front desk were awesome. The doctor, on the other hand, he needs a better bedside manner.
Staff was very helpful. Location was difficult because elevator was not working.
I was able to get an appontment the same week that I called-which I really appreciated. Easy location to get to and the staff was professional and kind.
The staff was very helpful and very knowledgeable
Competent office staff, courteous. Seen within 5 minutes and physician explained everything to my understanding.
The doctor and the staff were very kind. They conveyed a lot of information in a brief manner. Very much appreciated
good initial visit, pro, professional, timely, comfortable .
Felt he just wanted to get me out and go to the next patient
Provider…Very personable and knowledgeable
He was always very patient and I've always been happy with the outcome.
Staff was wonderful polite and helpful
Did not wait long. Took me right in and doctor came shortly after.
Good afternoon, God bless you. The doctor is an excellent doctor. I love the way he treats me and the delicacy with which he treats me.
We love the way Dr. Mooresu00A0treated my husband today. He's a really, really, really good specialist. I have nothing but good about him. And I will go back again and see him when we need it. Thank you.
Very patient and gave me time I needed as I felt a bit ill. Nurse stayed with me til better.
Did well
Everything was great. Thank you!
Dr. Moores spent quite a bit of time explaining my condition the possible treatments and their outcomes. I felt heard and cared for. A plan was put in place to address my issue.
Dr. Moores listens to you, explains causes and cures so you can understand, doesn't rush you, and in my case, I got two injections in the left hand with no pain or problems. He has a good personality and makes you feel like you're his favorite patient! Good job, Dr. Moore's!
Doctor was on time and aware of my medical history! Very knowledgeable and informative about my care.
Waited 40 minutes to get to Doctor.
Very accommodating, professional and informative. Postponed my injection because i started prednisone and he wanted to see if that helped before giving the shot.
Explain the cortisone shot and how it would hurt when injected.
Great experience, came early for my appointment and they were able to take me in early and was out before my appointment time. The Doctor was very kind and informed.
The physician did not listen to my case history at all. My history is very important and he should have given me 5 minutes to express myself, not act as a machine.
Showed respect and treated me well..Nothing to add...keep up the good work
Dr. Moores took the time to illustrate on paper what was happening to cause my condition. This helped me very much to visualize the circumstance.
This was my first visit and from the front desk girl, to Dr Moores and the surgical coordinator everyone made me feel very comfortable with this experience. I definitely recommend this office, thank you!
It was an excellent visit, even though I was a little late for my appointment they took me right in
The doctor was knowledgeable and to the point.
I really liked Dr Moores. Overall, it was a successful appointment. The signage put up to help find this location wasn't clear. (The only downfall)
Very positive. Doctor was professional and explained what I had to do to regain full use of my hand. I have no reservations about recommending him to others w hand issues
My appointment was for 10:15. I was not taken to an exam room until 11:00. If you know the physician really likes to take his time with his patients - why schedule appointments so close together?! I was only there for a consult for possible future surgery & care.
I was very impressed and pleased with Dr.Moore. He was very professional and knowledgeable. Very pleasant to talk to and answered all my questions I felt very comfortable and confident and trusting in him.
Very timely. The doctor and all the staff were friendly, professional and they answered all my questions and concerns.
This was my first visit with this provider. The information I received has giving me the knowledge to make decisions to select how to proceed to a comfortable solution.
The support staff was good, the doctor was good. The issue was the 45 minute wait in the exam room before the doctor arrived.
He seemed condescending in some of his explanations. As both of us were leaving, and with his back to me, he said as an afterthought, "call me if you need me". He didn't look at me.
One of the best doctors I've ever had, very attentive to what you explain to him.
Dr Moores listens and provides proper advice on my therapeutic options. Top man.
From checking in and out [Name] and seeing the Doctor ( Moores), excellent visit.
There was easy check-in, no wait for the Dr and no rush either. Setting up the next appointment was easy as well.
My options were clearly explained and recommended treatments / follow ups going forward were discussed. I appreciate Dr. Moores knowledge and compassion.
He went on a rant, telling me that I need to eat better foods.
Check in lines and check out line too long! Should have a separate line for check outs! People with orthopedic legs problems have difficulty standing for long length of time!
Dr. Craig Moores is AMAZING! He thoroughly listens to your questions, your concerns and explains everything to you. He has great bedside manner. The staff there is always kind and listens. [Name] in his office also is very knowledgeable and is always answering any question that I have.
Everything went well although I think the volume of patients may cause the doctor to get behind in schedule. Dr. Moores is engaging and a pleasure to see when I go to his office. Check-in staff are well-informed and willing to answer questions as well as make follow-up appointments. A good visit !!
The Dr explain what way going on with my thins and discussed what could be done.
Dr Moores took the time to thoroughly explain my diagnosis and treatment options.
