Meet Dr. Moore
Wesley Chapel
Dr. Dayna C. Moore, M.D., F.A.A.P., is a board-certified pediatrician with more than a decade of experience caring for children across Tampa Bay. A Hillsborough County native, she is delighted to return home to Wesley Chapel to guide families from a baby’s first check-up through the teen years. Dr. Moore is conversational in Spanish, helping her connect with the diverse families we serve.
She earned a B.A. in Biology from Brown University, her medical degree from Emory University, and completed her pediatrics residency at the University of South Florida.
Dr. Moore has long advocated for children with chronic and complex conditions, serving in both community clinics and a hospital-based sickle-cell program, where she gained experience supporting families managing sickle cell disease, asthma, and other long-term challenges.
When she is not in the office, you will likely find her cheering on her two nephews, hunting for the next great trivia fact, buried in a good book, or catching live concerts with friends and family.
