Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Moran is the best!
We have seen Dr. Moran and his lovely wife more times than I can count having two active boys! He never disappoints and is always a breath of fresh air in our time of need!

Surgery is only when really needed
Dr Moran treats my son who is special needs with Cerebral Palsy and scoliosis. He always explains everything well and even though I thought my s on would need surgery he ordered brace instead and explained why….. I can highly recommend Dr Moran :)

Great Experience
My daughter recently had an appointment with Dr. Moran at South Florida Orthopedic and Sports Medicine, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. The speed of her appointment was impressive; and everything was efficiently handled. My daughter was taken back for an x-ray almost immediately after checking in. Dr. Moran's knowledge and expertise were evident throughout the consultation. He took the time to explain her condition and treatment options in a clear and reassuring manner. I highly recommend South Florida Orthopedic and Sports Medicine and Dr. Moran for anyone seeking top-notch orthopedic care.

Dr Moran
Dr. Moran is friendly, and down to earth. He examined my daughter thoroughly and explained his findings so that everything was clear. He found a way to ease the tension and anxiety of her situation and we left the office with a weight lifted off her mind. He’s extremely supportive and capable and I feel no hesitation in my mind about referring him to everyone who needs his expertise. Thank you Dr. !!

Broken wrist
Dr. Moran and his team were excellent with my almost 7 year old daughter. He knew how to make her feel comfortable about everything that was happening during her appointment. He gave excellent tips for what to expect with the cast on and how to keep it clean. We go back in 2 weeks for a check-up and hopefully she will be back to normal.

Caring and competent
He was quick to see my child and diagnose! He has helped with different orthopedic issues, not just a fracture. He explained everything to my child on a level they understood, not to just me, on an adult level. He’s conservative but realistic!

Definitely made to work with kids
With 3 active kids, we’ve had to see Dr Moran a handful of times in the last 2 years. My middle child broke her foot playing floor is lava. I took her to the walk-in at SFO. We were scheduled the next day for a cast due to swelling. He took the time to explain everything and answer questions. Between my 3 we’ve seen him for broken foot Xs 2, thumb, wrist Xs 2 and recently a pinky. Everyone we’ve encountered from the MA doing in take to the person putting the cast on (like a ninja I might add) to the person removing the cast and the xRay techs, they’ve all been great. He’s joked around with the kids and my kids ate it up. I wouldn’t take my kids to any other pediatric ortho. He was made to work with kids.

Thanks Dr. Moran!!!
What a wonderful experience after an evening of stress. My 4yr old daughter tripped over our dog and broke her elbow! We ran to urgent care where we waited for 3 1/2 hrs for them to finally tell us she broke it. The next morning we tried calling tons of orthopaedic drs in the area and the only office to pick up was South Florida Orthopaedics. After a quick talk with the front desk staff they had our insurance put in and had an apt for us that afternoon. Needless to say we were in and out within an hour which was amazing compared to the evening before. She’s a happy camper and so are we! Thanks Dr. Moran…you and your wife are wonderful!
