Dr. Alan Moore, MD

Board-Certified Psychiatrist

Dr. Alan Moore, MD is a Board-Certified Psychiatrist at Missoula TMS Center in Missoula, Montana, specializing in Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy for PTSD, Anxiety, Tinnitus. Alan is dedicated to providing patients in the Missoula County with access to advanced, FDA-cleared brain stimulation treatments that offer a proven alternative when traditional medications fall short. Alan completed medical training at Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine, one of the nation's leading programs in psychiatry and neuroscience. This rigorous academic foundation provided deep expertise in neuroanatomy, psychopharmacology, and the biological mechanisms underlying mood disorders — knowledge that directly informs the precision of TMS treatment delivery. With over 29 years of dedicated practice in psychiatry and neuromodulation, Dr. Alan Moore, MD has treated hundreds of patients using TMS therapy at Missoula TMS Center and previous clinical appointments. This extensive hands-on experience translates into refined clinical judgment — the ability to recognize subtle treatment responses, adjust protocols in real time, and guide patients through the full course of therapy with confidence. Alan believes that effective TMS treatment requires more than just delivering magnetic pulses — it demands a deep understanding of each patient's unique neurological profile, psychiatric history, and personal treatment goals. This philosophy drives a highly individualized approach to care, where every treatment plan is carefully calibrated to maximize therapeutic outcomes. Alan's clinical focus at Missoula TMS Center includes specialized expertise in PTSD, Anxiety, Tinnitus. TMS for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder works by rebalancing the hyperactive threat-detection circuits in the brain. Stimulation of the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex has shown promise in reducing intrusive memories, emotional numbness, and hyperarousal symptoms. For patients whose trauma symptoms have not responded to therapy or medication alone, TMS offers a targeted neurobiological intervention. TMS therapy for anxiety targets specific prefrontal cortex regions involved in emotional regulation and threat processing. By modulating activity in these circuits, TMS can help reduce excessive worry, physical tension, and the hypervigilance that characterizes anxiety disorders. Emerging research supports both standard and accelerated TMS protocols for generalized anxiety, with many patients experiencing relief that complements or replaces medication-based approaches. At Missoula TMS Center, Alan works with CloudTMS, Nexstim, NeuroStar — giving patients access to multiple FDA-cleared TMS platforms. This multi-device capability allows for protocol selection tailored to each patient's specific diagnosis and treatment targets. Alan stays current with evolving treatment protocols, including standard repetitive TMS, theta burst stimulation, and accelerated treatment schedules where appropriate. Patients at Missoula TMS Center describe Alan as thorough, compassionate, and genuinely invested in their recovery. The treatment experience begins with a comprehensive initial evaluation, during which Alan takes time to understand not just the clinical diagnosis, but the personal impact of the condition on daily life. This patient-centered approach continues throughout the full course of TMS treatment, with regular check-ins to monitor progress and adjust the treatment plan as needed.
