About

Erik Moore, MD, grew up in Eagle River, Alaska, and is excited to return home to care for the community that raised him. A graduate of Chugiak High School, Dr. Moore completed his medical degree through the Alaska-WWAMI program at the University of Washington School of Medicine.

He went on to complete his orthopedic surgery residency at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, where he gained extensive experience in fracture and trauma care and worked alongside the team physicians for the University of Nebraska football program. He then pursued advanced fellowship training in orthopedic surgery and sports medicine at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City. Here he learned the cutting edge treatments for multiple sports injuries involving the knee, shoulder and hip. During fellowship, he provided on-field and training camp coverage for the NFL’s New York Jets, as well as local high school football and hockey teams.

Dr. Moore is fellowship-trained in orthopedic sports medicine with expertise in both open and arthroscopic treatment of the hip, shoulder, knee, ankle, and elbow. His clinical interests include ACL and multi-ligament knee injuries, meniscus tears, knee preservation for cartilage injuries, rotator cuff tears, shoulder labral injuries, shoulder replacement, hip arthroscopy, and other sports related tendon injuries. Additionally, he provides hip and knee replacement for degenerative arthritis and comprehensive management of acute fractures and trauma. He has presented podium and poster research at national meetings including the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine (AOSSM) and the American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS).

Dr. Moore is honored to return to Alaska and join Orthopedic Physicians Alaska, where he looks forward to working alongside his father, Dr. Jeff Moore, in caring for patients across the state. He is excited for the opportunity to provide care for sports teams throughout the community including UAA athletics and local high schools. Outside of medicine, he enjoys fishing, hiking, skiing, and traveling, as well as spending time with his wife, son, family and friends.
