My doctor is one in a million. My doctor is kind, patient, knowledgeable, caring.
My experience was very good with the doctors office and the doctor
It's always a pleasure to see Dr. Mooar and his staff. All my questions are answered; I am seen promptly; everyone is helpful. His assistant, [...], makes sure that I understand his instructions and that I'm doing exercises correctly. [...] Dr. Mooar was my surgeon for a hip replacement in 2005 and it has been a wonderful hip.
I would recommend anyone who needs orthopedic care to Dr. Pekka Mooar and his team at Temple University.
Dr. Mooar is very honest and took the time to treat me in every way possible. He is a great doctor.
Dr Moora referred me to a spinal surgeon who treated his daughter. I think that was a good recommendation .
