The Medical Staff of Connecticut Children’s Medical Center has named Douglas J. Moote, M.D., Physician of the Year. The announcement was made at the recent annual medical staff meeting. “It is my great privilege to present Dr. Moote
with the award for outstanding physician of the year,” said Richard Weiss, M.D., immediate past president of Connecticut Children’s medical staff. “He is frequently sought out to look at films, readily available to help with diagnostic dilemmas including off hours, always willing to teach and improve systems of care.”
“Dr. Moote is a topnotch pediatric radiologist whose clinical acumen and leadership help Connecticut Children’s provide the highest quality pediatric surgical care,” added Brendan Campbell, M.D., M.P.H., Connecticut Children’s pediatric trauma medical director. “He always makes himself available to help with our most challenging surgical cases and is highly motivated to refine and improve the systems that drive quality improvement at Connecticut Children’s.”
“Doug brings a great deal of knowledge and experience to every challenging case,” says Jeffrey Hyams, M.D., division head, Gastroenterology at Connecticut Children’s. “He is truly a partner in the care of our sickest kids.”
“Dr. Moote participates in many administrative and clinical roles both in the department of radiology and Connecticut Children’s Medical Center,” says R. Timothy Brown, M.D., chief of radiology at Connecticut Children’s. “His clinical opinion is sought after by those of us who work with him in radiology as well as our clinical partners. He is patient, caring, thoughtful and most deserving of this recognition.”
“This recognition is really a reflection of the very dedicated work of our entire team,” says Dr. Moote. “I feel very proud to have such great mentors and to have the support of everyone.”
A well-renowned lecturer and educator, Dr. Moote has published many peer-reviewed articles and research papers.
