Almost everyone has felt some degree of neck or back discomfort. But for those who suffer repeated pain due to injury or disorder of the spine, all areas of personal well-being can be compromised. Until now, specialized, world-class care has been accessible only by commuting into Manhattan or traveling even further off.
Meet Alexandre B. de Moura, MD, an internationally recognized leader in spinal wellness.
The son of an orthopedic surgeon, Dr. de Moura took an early interest in the field and enthusiastically followed in his father’s footsteps. Upon being graduated from Chicago Medical School as an MD, Dr. de Moura completed his residency in Orthopedic Surgery at the Temple University Medical Center. He then subsequently completed his fellowship in Orthopedic and Neurosurgical Spine Surgery at the NYU Langone Medical Center. In 1996, Dr. de Moura returned to Long Island with the copious experience he gained handling extremely complicated cases at some of the greatest orthopaedic facilities in the world.
He has in fact helped thousands of patients overcome their spine conditions and return to normal levels of function.
And now the many distinguished successes Dr. de Moura has been amassing are within reach to New Yorkers – his caring for patients and passion for the field have led him to open New York Spine Institute. Reflecting Dr. de Moura’s unique 360 approach to spine care.
Dr. Alexandre de Moura’s care philosophy is based in attending to patients’ individual situations with the utmost of his respect, patience and understanding. He is interested in understanding your lifestyle because it plays a big role in making decisions about your care, and he is committed to thoroughly explaining your condition, available care options, the circumstances of your treatment and addressing any concerns or questions you may have in terms you can understand. He also takes extra steps that you’ll appreciate, like calling you at home to check on your recovery and lending you a caring ear when you need it.
