Dr. Anika Moore was inspired to become an obstetrician by her mother’s physician. While in high school, she shadowed him as part of a career program. One day, she watched him deliver a baby and knew right away that was the path she wanted to follow.
Growing up, her grandmother told her, “The most important thing you can do is have a heart full of love, a listening ear and a hand willing to help others.” When she decided to go into medicine, as an African-American woman, she promised never to forget her grandmother’s wisdom and to do everything she can to ensure her patients are treated well – to listen, partner and connect with women to help take care of their health needs.
With more than 14 years of experience, Dr. Moore sees adolescents and adults for the full spectrum of women’s healthcare, including pregnancy care. She loves building relationships with women and empowering them through all walks of life as they establish their individual health care goals and needs.
Originally from Cincinnati, Dr. Moore returned to her hometown after working in California and Massachusetts. She enjoys spending time with her husband and two children, traveling and missionary work.
