Dr Moore was awesome! His staff was also very friendly, fast and attentive. I got it right away and didn’t have to sit in the exam room for very long at all. Great experience, thank you!
Verified patient
Dr. and staff were very friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating, but the waiting time was simply too long (more than one hour). As a professional courtesy and out of respect for the Dr. and the staff, I make a point to arrive at least five minutes prior to my appointment (15 minutes prior to first appointments for paperwork, etc.). I expect a similar courtesy and regard for my time by being seen by the Dr. within 20 minutes of my appointment time.

More about Dr. Joseph Moore, MD

Dr. Joseph Moore graduated from the University of Virginia School of Medicine in 1982 and started a Navy career that spanned over 30 years. While doing his Family Medicine Residency at the Naval Hospital at Camp Pendleton, CA, he realized the principles of Sports Medicine could more quickly return injured Marines back to full duty. The key principal was early access for injuries, similar to an urgent care model. After his family medicine training, he completed a sports medicine fellowship and worked with the US Olympic Teams in Colorado Spring, was team physician at World Youth Game in Moscow in 1995 and team doctor to the USA Women’s Ice Hockey team before the Nagano Games in 1998. He started the Navy’s Sports Medicine program at Naval Hospital Camp Pendleton to train Navy Sports Medicine doctors. The community has gone on to develop over 22 Navy sports medicine clinics both stateside and overseas. Dr. Moore is a clinical instructor at UCSD School of Medicine and lectures at the American Academy of Family Physicians’ National Meeting. He is an ordained Roman Catholic Deacon, and he and his wife of over 30 years, Laura, have four adult children.

Verified patient
Dr. Moore is fantastic, which is why I went back after my first experience even though my wait time during my first visit was over an hour. Unfortunately, I waited over an hour past my appointment time to see the Doctor during my second visit as well. For both visits, I arrived at least five minutes prior to my appointment time. I am very respectful of any other person's time and would never arrive late for an appointment. I expect the same courtesy from the hospital staff.

I waited quite a long time, a walk-in was seen before me (miscommunication at the front desk about checking me in led to long wait time). Dr. Joseph Moore did not see me but someone else did. Visit was very informative and everyone was great. Only downside was the wait time.
Fast, accurate and knowledgable!
Great experience, great doctor and staff.
Verified patient
He is an awesome doctor who is very attentive and understanding and collaborates with his patients to create the best course of treatment.
Doctor Moore was great! He was very knowledgeable and friendly. The whole staff was friendly and made me feel at ease. X-rays and blood work all under the same roof. Makes it very convenient. I will definitely be returning for ongoing checkups.

Absolutely the most professional, sympathetic, kindest, knowledgeable doctor I've been to in all of San Diego. I've spent 4 years looking for "my" doctor, and have definitely found one with Dr. Moore.
Verified patient
He was a bit late that morning, but he was very apologetic. Made every accommodation for the situation that put me in. Despite the inital inconvenience, I will be coming back.
Dr. Moore has a great bedside manner. He is very professional and spent a sufficient amount of time to diagnose my condition.

Very , very good.
Quick and easy. Went there for my injury , and he helped me out to scheduling me with a specialist. Will be returning for sure!
I'm always nervous about going to the doctors but Dr. Noore and his staff were so wonderful, I would highly recommend Pacific Urgent care and wellness center.
