Houston, TX (PRWEB) January 5, 2010
Robert J. Moore III, DPM, owner of Moore Foot & Ankle Specialists is a podiatrist practicing in North Houston on FM 1960 and Interstate 45. Dr. Moore is also a surgical instructor for a residency program and in 2004 decided to launch a website with local developer Zephyr Salvo to display short educational pieces for his students and patients.
“At first we discussed a simple landing page with pictures, our location and information, but quickly re-engineered the home page for more user friendly areas like our Foot and Ankle Problem list and surgery videos” states the board certified15 year surgical veteran.
Dr. Moore and his staff put together their most popular questions from patients and common problems they see in the clinic.
“The site should be all about the patient’s immediate and future needs, not a show piece for the doctor” states Dr. Moore.
As you enter the site there is a short personal introduction from Dr. Moore, easy areas to find information, and the ability to schedule an appointment online. The most popular areas display treatment options for common and uncommon foot and ankle problems. From arch supports and orthotics to cosmetic surgery and fractures, medical and surgical options are just a mouse click away. Dr. Moore believes in conservative treatment first and gives advice for conditions like ingrown toenails, toenail fungus, hammer toes, plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, bunions, corns, calluses, sprains, tendonitis, arthritis, diabetic neuropathy, even pediatric problems .
And for those patients who want to see the actual surgery, there is an area to view videos of surgeries that Dr. Moore performs at hospitals, out patient surgery centers as well as smaller procedures in the office. The drop down problem list in the site is easy to navigate, but there is also a foot diagram where you can click on the exact area of your foot pain or ankle pain, then choose from common problems that occur there to help patients before they come to the clinic.
His website offers other convenient services like the “Ask Us ” icon for doctor advice and other medical questions. Dr. Moore’s staff is equipped with the latest hand held devices so patients can email for faster service and even text from the waiting room when they arrive for their appointment. There is also a MFAS blog where patients can view recent updates and make comments. And for social media fans MFASclinic can be found on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and LinkedIn.
His other business and passion is health, fitness, and weight loss. Body of Knowledge is a system and brand that focuses on fat loss, longevity, and disease prevention. His book was released in 2006 and is coupled with a website at BOKsystems.com.
