Bruce D. Moffatt, M.D. Joins Phoenix Spine & Joint

Bruce D. Moffatt, M.D., a neurosurgeon with more than 30 years of experience, is the latest addition to Phoenix Spine & Joint.

“Dr. Moffatt is an incredibly accomplished surgeon and one who understands and appreciates the emphasis we put on patient experience,” said Dr. Daniel Lieberman, Medical Director, Phoenix Spine & Joint. “We think he’s the perfect addition to our surgical team as we continue to grow and serve patients hailing from cities throughout Arizona, the United States and the world.”

Dr. Moffatt received a bachelor’s degree with honors in both Biology and Neurosciences from the University of Rochester in New York. While there, he completed research in the Department of Anatomy and The Center for Brain Research to prepare him for what he knew would be a career in neurosurgery.

After earning his M.D. at the University of South Florida College of Medicine in Tampa, Florida, he then undertook an internship in general surgery and a residency in neurological surgery at The Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. Dr. Moffatt’s post-graduate training consisted of a neurological surgery fellowship at Brown University’s Rhode Island Hospital in Providence.

Dr. Moffatt most recently worked at The Bonati Spine Institute. He was also instrumental in the growth of Laser Spine Institute from 2012 to 2017. In his time with that organization, he performed surgery out of both its ambulatory surgery centers in Wayne, Pennsylvania and Scottsdale, Arizona. Earlier in his career, he held staff positions at trauma centers in Mission Viejo, California; Orlando, Florida; Norfolk, Virginia and Virginia Beach, Virginia.

Dr. Moffat told OTW, “I couldn’t be happier about joining the team at Phoenix Spine & Joint and contributing to the organization’s mission of providing a world-class experience for our patients. This role gives me a chance to not only perform life-changing surgery but to also substantiate the extent of damage done to someone who may have been wronged or injured in an accident so that we can help get them back to doing what they love. I will be transitioning my practice over to Phoenix Spine & Joint over the next two months but will begin seeing patients immediately.”
