Dr. John Moesch is a proud native of Savannah, Georgia. A graduate of Savannah Country Day School, he excelled both academically and athletically, ultimately playing collegiate football. He earned his Bachelor of Arts in Health Sciences and Pre-Medicine at Furman University before pursuing his medical degree at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine – Georgia Campus near Atlanta.
Following medical school, Dr. Moesch completed a rigorous four-year ACGME-accredited Dermatology residency at HCA Florida Largo Medical Center in the Tampa Bay Area, where he gained extensive experience managing a broad spectrum of skin cancers and inflammatory skin disorders. He then completed an ACGME-accredited Dermatopathology Fellowship at the prestigious University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, where he trained alongside some of the nation’s leading experts in the field.
Prior to returning home to Savannah, Dr. Moesch practiced both Dermatology and Dermatopathology in the Detroit area, diagnosing and treating both common and rare skin conditions. He has served as faculty for Dermatology and Pathology residency programs, where he trained residents and medical students. Dr. Moesch has published multiple peer-reviewed articles, participated in numerous clinical research studies, and remains dedicated to staying at the forefront of emerging treatments and technologies in Dermatology. Dr. Moesch has a special interest in the diagnosis and treatment of melanoma and autoimmune bullous disorders, combining his clinical dermatology expertise with advanced dermatopathology training to deliver comprehensive and precise care for these complex conditions.
Outside of medicine, Dr. Moesch enjoys running, golf, tennis, skiing, traveling, and spending time with his wife Emily, daughter Roselyn, and their two dachshunds, Winston and Oscar. He is an avid fan of country and Southern rock music and a passionate student of history, often diving into The Great Courses lecture series in his spare time.
Having lived in cities across the country including Boston, Greenville, Atlanta, Tampa, Pittsburgh, and Detroit, Dr. Moesch is thrilled to return home to Georgia. He is committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based care to the residents of his home state. Dr. Moesch treats every patient with the same empathy, respect, and kindness he would offer his own family—and always strives to go the extra mile to improve his patients' skin health and quality of life.
