Timothy P. Moran, MD, PhD

I chose to become a physician assistant for the ability to practice in different medical/surgical specialties, as well as for the work-life balance the career provides. My areas of interest include burn surgery, orthopedics, trauma and urgent care medicine. When I am not at the office, I enjoy ceramics, cooking, running, swimming and music.

I have always had a passion for education and teaching, helping others, and the science of medicine since I was very young. I love being an advanced practice provider because it allows me to be collaborative with other health care providers while providing optimal patient education. My approach to patient care is to combine expertise and knowledge with empathy and understanding to give the patient the best and most understanding patient care possible. Outside of work, I am very involved in community theater. It has always been a hobby of mine since I was young, and I still enjoy performing and volunteering whenever I can.

I’m a relational person, and always knew I wanted to work in an environment that gave me the opportunity to meet and care for people. It’s a privilege to partner with my patients, to help them heal, and to be an advocate in their corner as they undergo whatever treatment they need. My care philosophy is defined by my belief that each person is beautifully created and tailoring the care plan to not only treat the eating disorder, but also treat that person’s specific additional concerns. Above all else, I choose to foremost love my patients and treat them with kindness, respect, and gentleness while we fight the eating disorder together. My area of clinical special interest is adolescent health, and specifically I have a passion for treating eating disorders and fighting the eating disorder alongside my patients. I love time with my family - including traveling with them. I also love time in God’s beautiful creation - including running, walks with friends, yoga, and the beach. Lastly, I love to read when I can find the time.
