MIAMI, Fla. (FNN) – Dr. Rudolph Moise, a Haitian immigrant who overcame immense obstacles, has established himself as a pioneer in family medicine and aesthetics in Miami-Dade. His remarkable story of resilience and dedication has made him a trusted figure in healthcare, community outreach, and entrepreneurship.

A Journey of Determination and Education

After earning a medical degree from the Chicago College of Medicine, supported by a federal scholarship, he moved to Miami to serve in federally qualified healthcare.

Expanding into Aesthetics

After decades in family medicine, Dr. Moise responded to increasing patient demand by adding aesthetics to his practice. He launched Comprehensive Medical Spa in North Miami, offering minimally invasive procedures with short recovery times.

“Patients want options that enhance their appearance without lengthy downtimes,” he shared. “We aim to meet those needs while ensuring the highest level of care.”

Commitment to Accessibility and Community

Dr. Moise’s philosophy centers on providing care for everyone. His practice accepts walk-ins and ensures no patient is turned away, regardless of insurance status.

“Healthcare access is a fundamental need,” he said. “I’ve built a team committed to delivering compassionate care to all.”

Beyond medicine, Dr. Moise dedicates time to mentoring local youth, encouraging education, and serving on boards such as the Jackson Health Foundation.

“Success means nothing unless you give back to your community,” he said.

What’s Next?

Dr. Moise continues to expand his practice and community efforts, focusing on blending medical excellence with innovative aesthetics care. He also aims to advocate for broader healthcare accessibility, reflecting his lifelong commitment to serving others.
