Moss Center for Integrative Medicine

Dr. Moss is a very intelligent, knowledgable, and empathetic practitioner! He has been our doctor for over 10 years. He has eliminated my food, inhalant, and chemical allergies and my autoimmune disorder has gone into remission under his excellent care. His approach is always conservative, so it may take time for the body to heal itself, with his treatments and recommendations. Under his care, I am now enjoying full health and vitality in my senior years and expect to continue doing so!
Kate Jordan, Holistic Health Practitioner, a member of his staff is also very intuitive and effective in treating pain and body alignments with her Strain/​Counter Strain techniques.
All of the Moss Center Staff is top notch, efficient, bright, personable, and empathetic. We can’t say enough great things about Moss Center For Integrative Medicine!!!
My husband, Tom, who is also a patient, adds that Dr. Moss is an excellent diagnostician. Dr. Moss urged Tom to get emergency medical treatment at a hospital on three separate occasions. Any of these situations could have cost Tom his life, had he not had Dr. Moss’s recommendations!!!

I think of Dr. Moss twice a year … in the Spring and in the Fall … when my seasonal rhinitis issues would make my eyes red, my nose stuffy due to pollen and other issues which developed after moving to San Diego in 1985. On top of that, I had certain food allergies (most of which I was unaware of until Dr. Moss had me tested). It would create certain issues for me, especially an uncomfortable «heaviness» in my chest. After going through a series of treatments (I cannot remember now how many, but it was not «forever» before I began showing signs of improvement. Neither do I remember the cost being prohibitive), I made such good progress that I have not been back since the early 1990’s and «all’s well». I am so grateful for such a complete resolution for something that was, at times, more than annoying. Now, I don’t pay attention to the season, and I DO pay attention to the food I am eating to see if I have any kind of reaction to it. The only item I still need to stay away from is heavy red wine … which is just fine with me! Thank you Dr. Moss and team!

Dr. Moss has been my only primary physician since 1984. The reasons I chose him and have remained with him are:
1. I want a doctor who focuses on maintaining good health as well as solving health problems when they occur. Prevention is very important to me.
2. Doctor Moss focuses a lot on nutritional approaches to good health and he is very knowledgeable about nutrition. He prescribes the big pharma pills when necessary but for me that has very seldom been necessary.
3. Doctor Moss spends a lot of time researching new medical approaches and theories. He is not stuck in doing the same thing taught in medical schools decades ago. He is only in the office Monday through Thursday and spends much of Friday researching.
4. He listens to me and answers all my questions using his medical knowledge so I feel like I am a partner with him in maintaining my good health.
5. His office is very efficient. Deb, his office manager, is the most efficient office manager I have ever seen.

yeah, not impressed. He and his staff keep pushing the diet and cleanse stuff, he keeps pushing supplements that I don’t tolerate, refuses to appropriately evaluate hormonal deficiencies (Quest blood tests? C’mon, everyone knows saliva testing is the only way to go). I appreciate the Spectracell and other blood tests, but I don’t feel that Dr. Moss is able to adequately process all the past info I had given him and synthesize that with current results. He continues to ignore my multiple autoimmune diseases as well, especially thryoid. He said that I am insulin resistant. OK, well that’s true and certainly a genetic predisposition in my case. His recommendation is to take Niacin and mediterranean diet. Niacin increases blood glucose levels and also messes up thyroid hormones. Mediterranean diet makes me fat. He said I should lose weight, valid, but again he recommends a lot of very processed things that include many, many ingredients that I should not take, including soy and iodine. He focuses on reducing inflammation, but as I suspected, he seems to be operating from some outdated info.
That combined with a lack of attention to personal detail means that his plan is unlikely to help me. I refused to do the allergy testing outright. Been there, done that. He accepted this, but didn’t seem too pleased. I already manage my multiple, significant allergies. Long history of immunology testing and treatment. I have no confidence he would be able to do anything cohesive with that (expensive to obtain) info anyway. He even started to suggest I take oral corticosteroids, until I cut him off to say I’m allergic to them. Like I said, not incompetent, not unkind, just not WHOLE-​istic, very one note approach/​one size fits all. I don’t think he really listens, just appears to listen. I suggest that you find his book in a library and read it first, if it’s what you’re looking to do, fine. Otherwise move on, don’t waste your time and money.

I went to Dr. Moss for hormone replacement therapy. I saw him for several visits over about 9 months. I willingly spent the money to have complete tests done, as well as buying the cleanse and supplements that he recommended. While his testing was extensive (and expensive), I did not feel that the diagnosis was complete, and yet I was taking multiple supplements every day and night. Not only that, Dr. Moss would only write prescriptions for 3 months at a time, necessitating frequent visits to the office.
I recently went to another facility for a second opinion. With much simpler tests, I was able to understand what I really needed as I went through menopause. I was able to have prescription written that are good for refills for 6 months, so not only am I saving money and time, but I am now managing my menopausal symptoms.
I feel Dr. Moss relies heavily on unnecessary tests, selling supplements and his book, and frequent office visits. I’m glad I looked for other options.

Outstanding physician, thoroughly grounded in traditional medicine but not limited by traditional narrow medical thinking. He takes complex issues such as multiple chemical sensitivities seriously, and he considers how a rich variety of symptoms, conditions and factors in your life may be interrelated. He is well worth the long trip I make for treatment. I first saw Dr. Moss about 18 years ago at the personal recommendation of a physician who is the national leader in developing one of the many treatments Dr. Moss offers (LDA), and I have thrived under his care. Staff is friendly and helpful.

A really great doctor that listens. My wife was diagnosed with Candida and SIBO by Dr. Moss and has fully recovered but still drives over a hundred miles to see him for his outstanding acupuncture treatments. I personally am seeing him now to help me control my Type 2 Diabetes. We trust him explicably. His staff is great as well!

This doctor ignored my requests for looking into specific issues. He also ignored the fact that my body did not like the supplements he recommended. He wanted me to, «take them anyway.» Then, after all the tests, he gave me no diagnosis. He only recommended I do his published diet. I got the sense that he wasn’t willing to pay attention to my health issues until I was at what he considered a healthy weight. I am a size ¹⁴⁄₁₆. My focus was on figuring out my health issues, not on «being thin.» My take-​away: he won’t listen, and he’s going to put you on his diet no matter what. I get the sense that it is his cure-​all.
