Treatment based testimonial

“Dr Phil Moore has been working with my client for the past 8 months. My client has provided consistently positive feedback from Dr Moore’s sessions and has reported that these sessions have been of great benefit on a therapeutic and rehabilitation level. Dr Moore has provided good consistent communication to enable a high level of multi disciplinary working to enable all the professionals in the case to have a clear understanding of the rehabilitation process and an understanding of the Psychology approach which was paramount in this case.” Tim O’Brien, Case manager 05/05/2018.

‘I have instructed Dr Phil Moore on a number of personal injury claims involving TBIs where there have been complex causation issues. Dr Moore’s assistance and expert evidence in these matters has been invaluable. He is approachable and responsive when organising appointments and providing reports. He is always willing to speak through issues to enable, me as non-clinician, to understand the basis for his reasoning. I cannot recommend him highly enough.’ 16/09/2022
