Dr. Alan Moore, MD is a Board-Certified Psychiatrist at Dr. Moore Private Practice in Parkersburg, West Virginia, specializing in Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy for OCD, Anxiety, Chronic Pain. Alan is dedicated to providing patients in the Wood 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 University of Pennsylvania, 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 26 years of dedicated practice in psychiatry and neuromodulation, Dr. Alan Moore, MD has treated hundreds of patients using TMS therapy at Dr. Moore Private Practice 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. Central to Alan's practice is the conviction that patients deserve both cutting-edge neuroscience and genuine compassion. Rather than a one-size-fits-all protocol, each patient at Dr. Moore Private Practice receives a treatment plan shaped by comprehensive evaluation, ongoing symptom tracking, and open collaboration between doctor and patient. Alan's clinical focus at Dr. Moore Private Practice includes specialized expertise in OCD, Anxiety, Chronic Pain. Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder requires a specialized Deep TMS approach, targeting the anterior cingulate cortex and medial prefrontal cortex — brain structures implicated in the repetitive thought-action cycles that define OCD. The FDA-cleared protocol uses BrainsWay's H7 coil to reach these deeper brain regions, offering significant symptom reduction for patients who have not responded adequately to SSRIs or cognitive-behavioral therapy. 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 Dr. Moore Private Practice, Alan works with MagVenture, BrainsWay, Nexstim — 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 Dr. Moore Private Practice 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. If you're considering TMS therapy in Parkersburg, West Virginia, Dr. Alan Moore, MD and the team at Dr. Moore Private Practice offer comprehensive evaluations to determine whether this treatment approach is right for you. Reach out to schedule an initial consultation and take the first step toward a medication-free path to recovery.

David is dedicated to providing patients in the Wood County with access to advanced, FDA-cleared brain stimulation treatments that offer a proven alternative when traditional medications fall short. David's journey in psychiatry began at Duke University, where training in both the science and art of mental health care shaped a distinctive clinical perspective. The program's emphasis on translational neuroscience — bridging laboratory research with bedside care — continues to influence how David approaches TMS treatment today. Over a career spanning more than 31 years, Dr. David Lee, MD has developed deep expertise in the nuances of neuromodulation therapy. At Dr. Moore Private Practice, this experience manifests in meticulous attention to treatment parameters, an ability to set realistic expectations with patients, and the clinical skill to achieve consistently strong outcomes even in complex, treatment-resistant presentations. David 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. David's clinical focus at Dr. Moore Private Practice includes specialized expertise in Chronic Pain, PTSD, Bipolar. TMS for chronic pain conditions targets the motor cortex and pain-processing regions of the brain. By modulating these neural pathways, TMS can reduce the perceived intensity of chronic pain and break the pain-depression cycle that often compounds suffering. Research has shown particular promise for fibromyalgia, neuropathic pain, and migraine prevention. 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. At Dr. Moore Private Practice, David works with MagVenture, BrainsWay, Nexstim — 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. David stays current with evolving treatment protocols, including standard repetitive TMS, theta burst stimulation, and accelerated treatment schedules where appropriate. David is known among patients at Dr. Moore Private Practice for taking the time to thoroughly explain the TMS process, set realistic expectations, and create an environment where patients feel comfortable and informed.
