Get to know Neurologist Dr. Omar Moore, who serves patients in Jacksonville, Florida.

A prominent neurologist, Dr. Moore takes a patient-centered approach to care at NeuroDoc in Jacksonville, Florida. He has the ability to treat a wide range of neurologic disorders, injuries, and degenerative conditions affecting the brain and nervous system.  ​

His philosophy of care is to treat people the way he would want to be treated. Dr. Moore knows it’s scary to have a diagnosis you don’t fully understand. Uncertainty breeds fear, especially when your life may be at risk. He takes the extra effort to educate patients about their diagnosis before developing a treatment plan. This knowledge about their own diagnosis empowers patients to choose a treatment plan that they can feel comfortable with. 

Growing up in the Florida Panhandle, Dr. Moore attended medical school at the University of Florida College of Medicine in Gainesville. He then completed his neurology training at University of Florida Jacksonville Campus, and completed additional fellowship training in Epilepsy and Clinical Neurophysiology at University of Illinois in Chicago.  

Prior to earning his medical degree, he spent eight years in the Army National Guard, including a year overseas in convoy security operations in Afghanistan.

Board-certified in neurology, Dr. Moore is a Diplomate of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology (ABPN). The ABPN is a not-for-profit corporation dedicated to promoting high-quality patient care for the public through the initial and continuing certification of psychiatrists and neurologists.

Neurology is a branch of medicine dealing with disorders of the nervous system. Neurologists are licensed medical specialists who diagnose and treat disorders that affect the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and muscles of patients. They examine a patient’s mental and physical status, conduct medical tests and scans, and evaluate the results to diagnose and treat the patient.
