Moores, MD, PSV Chief Executive Officer and Medical Director of Pediatric Neurosurgery.  “I am incredibly proud of the efforts of our staff who have built and expanded PSV over the past five years from a relatively small group to where we are today, seeing over 100,000 patient visits per year.  Congratulations to everyone in PSV and a special thank you to all of our patients, families, and referring physicians who have trusted us with the care of these children.”

Many PSV doctors have been nominated and recognized as “Top Doctors” by several renowned publications including – U.S. News & World Report, Washingtonian Magazine, Northern Virginia Magazine, and Virginia Living Magazine to name but a few.  They are widely known as experts in their fields and work to provide the best care available for children through a unique blend of clinical expertise, innovation, education, research, and family-centered care.
