 Overview
Born in Jerusalem, Israel, Dr. Moalem, Assistant Professor of Surgery, received his Bachelors and Master of Science degrees from the State University of New York at Buffalo and his medical degree from SUNY Downstate in Brooklyn.

Dr. Moalem developed an interest in endocrine surgery during his residency at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Jersey, where he also served as the Executive Chief Resident. He then pursued further subspecialty training during a premier Endocrine Surgical Oncology Fellowship at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), with Dr. Orlo Clark. There, he gained additional experience in the multidisciplinary management of benign and cancerous disorders of the thyroid, parathyroid and adrenal glands and served as a clinical instructor.

Dr. Moalem's clinical and research concentrations focus on cancerous and benign lesions and disorders of the thyroid, parathyroid and adrenal glands, as well as endocrine tumors of the pancreas. He brings expertise in minimally invasive thyroidectomy and parathyroidectomy, in addition to laparoscopic adrenalectomy.

Certified by the American Board of Surgery, Dr. Moalem is also licensed in the states of New Jersey and California. He has authored numerous publications and is a member of professional organizations including the American College of Surgeons, American Medical Association, American Association for Clinical Endocrinologists, American Thyroid Association and The Endocrine Society.
