Dr. Moser and the staff at FOI are all wonderful. After an unfortunate accident, I visited the after hours clinic and received excellent care. Each subsequent visit was timely, efficient, and an excellent level of care. I would recommend this practice to my family and friends.

This was a second opinion for my issue. This Dr. is so friendly, professional, and conservative about rushing into surgery. He actually showed me the issue on my MRI vs just reading the report from the radiologist. Very happy a friend told me about this practice and Dr. Moser.

My experience was nothing short of being simple from the time I got to the first appointment visited with Dr. Moser and all the staff scheduling and then onto Surgery. I was quite comfortable.

I absolutely love the team that Dr Moser had today for my surgery. They were thorough and made sure everything was right with my allergies and medications. After the surgery they did everything to keep me comfortable. I was in sooo much pain. The anesthesiologist ended up doing a nerve block which helped tremendously. Cannot say enough great things about this group.Patient Submitted Review

Can't say enough about Dr.Moser. but Thanks for putting me back together ❤️ 😌 love this TEAMPatient Submitted Review

kinda long wait (30 minutes) but worth it. Dr. Moser has a great bedside manner, listens, is ok with autism level of research, and my aversion to drugs and surgery. (something that some docs get all weird about). I felt heard and cared for. He was thorough in his examination, and had suggestions I can live with. All in all, a good experience.Patient Submitted Review

FOI Gainesville and Dr. Moser And Dr. Prine and all the staff are Amazing. They are top-notch medically and caring, healing people. I'm 54, but building out a goat ranch and wanted to be treated like an athlete. They are treating me like an NFL player. I'm having rotator cuff repair. They only chose surgery after we tried everything else, as it should be. Every one of the medical staff was fantastic at every visit.Patient Submitted Review

My visit today with Dr Moser could not have gone any better. From the front office staff, to his X-ray tech, his nurse, and of course Dr Moser they were all very welcoming and professional. They all took their time with me and allowed me to explain and ask question about what was going on with my knee. I was very satisfied with the answers and suggestions they gave me. I would not hesitate to come back if I ever need an orthopedic and will surely recommend them to my friends and family.Patient Submitted Review

I saw Dr. Moser for a second opinion for a knee issue I was having for months that went undiagnosed by another prominent surgeon. Dr. Moser was able to diagnose my issues, and show on my MRI what was causing my pain. I elected to have surgery with him after conservative measures failed, and I am healing nicely. He is truly a doctor that cares about his patients, even calling me the night of my surgery and a couple weeks later to check on me. You may have a longer wait time to see him, but it is worth it, because he spends whatever time is needed to listen to his patients and explain options. It is hard to find a doctor like that in today's world. His office manager Crystal was super nice and able to assist me with needed paperwork and always responded to any questions. I highly recommend Dr. Moser and his team, you won't regret it.

Dr. Michael Moser surgically repaired my dominant shoulder and the outcome has been excellent. On top of his surgical skills, he is really nice, respects your perspective, communicates well, answers your questions, etc. I really had NO complaints.I had a 'massive' rotator cuff tear (i.e., a big hole in the tendons). Fortunately, I was still a candidate for surgical repair. But, the healing and function recovery process is long and slow (in my case, an expected 9-12 months).I had the surgery January 2024 and it is now June 2024. I just had my last visit with Dr. Moser. Bottom line, in my opinion and experience, his excellent reputation is well deserved and fully justified. I am expected to make a full recovery although the PT continues. However, I have just been given permission to start hitting a tennis ball again, below shoulder height, and I am thrilled about that! Considering how the whole process went, I really don't think you can do better than Dr. Michael Moser.rater8 Verified Patient

Outstanding! I trust him with my health, athletic ability, and my family. He is patient, kind, intelligent, thoughtful. Dr. Moser was my classmate but I also counted on him to help me return to function and at least some athletic activity after not just one, but two ruptured hamstrings. He is a gifted surgeon and a wonderful human. I am so grateful for him and proud to have been a classmate! Dr. Moser earns not 5, but 10 stars: if you need an expert and are willing to invest in your rehab, he will return you to your sport (perhaps with a few realistic modifications!) And or your life. :) He has also cared for my family members, we totally trust Dr. Moser!Patient Submitted Review

Doctor Moser is one of the finest if not THE FINEST doctor I've ever had the privilege to know. I never felt uncomfortable while speaking with him about my surgery because his confidence shows through and that should not to be confused with any type of cockyness which was never present..I'd also like to add that the surgergical staff was very professional and top notch.

Dr. Moser and his staff were great. I felt as all involved listened and cared for what was going on in my shoulder and the pain I was having. I had xrays right there in the office which was quick and convenient so I didn't have to go somewhere else for them. They found the problem very quickly and very shortly was given a cortisone shot also right there in the office with ultrasound assist. It was all handled right there and didn't have to run around or make other appointments. I couldn't have asked for a better experience, everything was explained all questions answered very professional and they made me feel comfortable the whole time I was there.Patient Submitted Review

Dr. Moser preformed a rare surgery on my knee that we weren’t sure was even going to work. Just 3 weeks after surgery I felt better than I had in years. 6 weeks post op and my X-rays show amazing results, all thanks to Dr. Moser. I couldn’t recommend him more!Patient Submitted Review

Dr. Moser preformed my 3rd knee surgery after two failed attempts with a different surgeon. My experience with Dr. Moser was nothing less than excellent. He kept me well informed, answered my questions, and spent an ample amount of time with me which is something that can’t be said for other surgeons. I have complete confidence in the work that he has done on my knee.rater8 Verified Patient

Dr. Moser is excellent. He is very knowledgeable, an excellent surgeon and has wonderful "bedside manners". He has performed an ACL reconstruction for my daughter's left and (at a different time) right knee. He really cares about providing quality care.Patient Submitted Review

He's taken care of my 10 yr old son after tearing his ACL. He is a incredibly knowledgeable doctor and has a wonderful staff. Being a worried mother I've read everything I could find and had lots of questions. He went through each one with me explained everything that would happen and took his time to make sure my son and I felt comfortable with the decision to move forward with surgery. Highly recommend Dr Moser and his staff.

I drove from the FL panhandle down to Gainesville to see Dr. Moser. After I made the appointment by phone, I found this site and was a little apprehensive about taking my time to go and see him. Those worries were completely unfounded. I arrived earlier than my appointment, started paperwork and was called in even before finishing my forms. X-rays were completed promptly and then I was brought to the exam room within just a few minutes. The assistant came in and did the initial, preliminary exam and Dr. Moser came in just a little while later. The two of them spent plenty of time with me for the initial visit, and they were able to connect me with another department for further, unexpected exams on the same day. Experience with other docs. on the Panhandle were much, much worse, and I have walked out on several of those appointments after hours of waiting and never even seeing the doc. While the drive was not any fun, my experience with Doc. Moser and the Shands facility was great and well worth my time. While I am hoping there will not be too many more visits, I feel confident that my time there will be well spent.Read more
