Dr. Moses has been selected by his peers in a nation-wide survey as one of the “Best Doctors in America,” a group that includes the top 5% of U.S. physicians. He has also been listed among the “Best Doctors in New Orleans” by New Orleans Magazine for 12 consecutive years and “Best Doctors in Louisiana” in Plastic Surgery by Louisiana Life Magazine.

A native of New Orleans, Dr. Moses went to Yale College, then back home to medical school at Tulane. He returned to Yale for his general surgery residency, then to a plastic surgery residency at Harvard, at the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. He did a fellowship in craniofacial surgery at The Children’s Hospital and the Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston. He held faculty appointments in the Departments of Surgery at both Yale and Harvard.

From his mentor, Harvard surgeon Dr. John Constable, Dr. Moses learned the value of sharing his knowledge in plastic surgery with colleagues around the world. Dr. Moses has traveled to Honduras, Nicaragua, India, Haiti, and Vietnam to teach plastic surgeons in those countries. He strongly subscribes to the dictum: “Give a man a fish, feed him for a day. Teach him to fish, feed him for life.”

Dr. Moses is the Founder and Director of the Cleft and Craniofacial team at Children’s Hospital. He is on the plastic surgery faculties of both Tulane and LSU Schools of Medicine and frequently has plastic surgery residents observing his surgery.

Dr. Moses is also an avid art collector, specializing in New Orleans artists. He loves to discuss his art collection with patients and friends. In his spare time, Dr. Moses also enjoys golf, fly fishing, New Orleans food and music, and spending time with his four sons, 4 daughters-in-law, and 7 grandchildren. With the slightest provocation, he will always talk to you about the Saints. Dr. Moses wants his patients to feel comfortable with him, his office, and the staff.

“When you visit Dr. Moses, he will spend an hour listening to your wants, needs and concerns.”
