Dr. Robert D. Moore is an internationally recognized Laparoscopic and Vaginal Reconstructive Surgeon who has operated on patients from all over the US and the world. He is widely known throughout the world for his pioneering techniques in minimally invasive vaginal reconstructive surgery and more recently in the field of sexual medicine and aesthetic vaginal surgery. He has received prominent awards in his field including being named to Americas Best Doctors List in 2011/2012 and Consumers Research Council Americas Top Ob/Gyn list (for Vaginal Reconstructive Surgery) in 2009, 2010 and 2011.
Dr. Moore originally received his medical degree with top honors from the University of New England in 1994. While at the University he was involved with neurologic and neuroscience pain research, receiving multiple grants and publishing in this complex field. He completed his residency in Ob/Gyn at the Maine Medical Center in Portland, ME and then completed a two year fellowship in Urogynecology and Radical Pelvic Surgery at Northside Hospital in Atlanta, GA. Following this, he completed another year of advanced training in Laparoscopic Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery. He has also completed advanced training in the field of Aesthetic Vaginal Surgery and recently co-authored, with his partner, Dr. John Miklos, the first comprehensive book on Vaginal Rejuvenation and Cosmetic Surgery for women.
Dr. Moore is currently the Director of Advanced Pelvic Surgery and the Co-Director of Urogynecology at the Atlanta Center for Laparoscopic Urogynecology, the Vaginal Rejuvenation Center of Atlanta and Atlanta Medical Research, Inc. He has held and continues to maintain national and international teaching appointments.

Dr. Moore continues to be very active in clinical research and new innovations in the field of Urogynecology including mesh technology and minimally invasive techniques to treat prolapse and incontinence. He and his partner Dr. John Miklos recently published the largest series in the world on Laparoscopic Sacralcolpopexy and surgeons from throughout the world come to Atlanta to learn this technique from them at their center. In 2009, Dr. Moore was the first surgeon in the U.S. to perform the Anterior Elevate procedure (a mesh procedure to treat cystocele and vault prolapse through one small vaginal incision) and has travelled the globe operating and teaching this new technology that he helped develop. He is currently the Principal Investigator in the U.S. in the Multicenter Trial evaluating the long term results of mesh repair for cystocele and was picked to lead this team of investigators from 10 centers in the United States including gynecologists, urologists and urogynecologists. The two year results were just published in the International Urogyn Journal with Dr. Moore being the lead author.
Dr. Moore was also the Co-Principal investigator, with Professor Jaquetin from France, of the AMS Monarc TOT sling worldwide trial leading more than 20 centers across the world. Most recently Dr. Moore was principal investigator of the first multicenter trial in the world to evaluate the Mini-Arc Mini-Sling and is considered a worldwide leader in this new procedure. He has published more than 100 scientific journal articles, book chapters and research abstracts. Last year in Italy, he was the chairman of the IUGA Post-Graduate course on Vaginal Mesh procedures and published one of the largest reviews on the topic in the Scientific World Journal. Dr. Moore has traveled throughout the US and in the last year has taught over 300 surgeons new techniques in Incontinence and Prolapse surgery at Universities and Major Hospitals in Miami, Alabama, San Francisco, Memphis, LA, Boston, NYC, Chicago, Houston as well as many others.
