For her dedication and excellence in patient care, Patient Preferred Physicians and Practitioners proudly named Dr. Adriana M. Pop-Moody, MD a 2021 “Patient Preferred Rheumatologist” representing the state of Texas.

With nearly five decades of achievements in her field, Dr. Adriana Pop-Moody treats patients at Corpus Christi Rheumatology Clinic in Corpus Christi, TX. She is a pioneer in the field of musculoskeletal ultrasound and was one of the first physicians in the United States to receive that certification. This ultrasound uses sound waves to diagnose sprains, strains, tears, and other soft-tissue conditions. Her expertise in rheumatology is unmatched with a dedication to treating patients for various autoimmune diseases such as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis, among other health problems of the bones and joints.

Dr. Pop-Moody’s state-of-the-art practice implements the most advanced treatments in her field. “The most advanced methods to treat and diagnose rheumatology conditions,” she said in a statement, “are via ultrasound usage for diagnosis and procedures, the use of platelet-rich plasma treatments, and stem cell extraction and treatments. Her in-office research department explores new medications and different modalities of treatment. According to Dr. Pop-Moody, patients also partake in double-blind studies with FDA-approved medicines – with no placebos. “We compare the medicines with each other to see what works the best. We are able to study the medications more in-depth, especially looking at the effectiveness and adverse effects. It’s a clinical study for rheumatoid arthritis patients and psoriatic arthritis.”

Board Certified in Rheumatology by the American Board of Internal Medicine, Dr. Pop-Moody has been praised by patients who rate her five-stars for her knowledge, compassion, and trustworthiness. “She was very thorough and her years of experience in her field show with every aspect,” read a five–star review. “She asked me all sorts of questions to make sure she captured every little possibility,” the patient said. “She respectfully and patiently listens and answers all your questions.”

With a focus on regenerative medicine, Dr. Pop-Moody offers only the best forms of treatment to her patients. She prescribes traditional treatments, as well as medications, physical therapy, nerve blocks, ultrasound-guided injections, as well as platelet-rich plasma injections. Dr. Pop-Moody also offers Intravenous Vitamin Drip therapy to help boost immunity and to aid in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.

Dr. Pop-Moody’s childhood dream of becoming a doctor would be realized when she graduated from University Timisoara of Timisoara, Romania, and then went on to do a residency at Michigan State University. She was also a professor of rheumatology and internal medicine at Wayne State University School of Medicine in Detroit. She is still teaching, presently as a member of the core faculty for UNT Health Science Center at Fort Worth – Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine.

The road to her dream wasn’t easy. Dr. Pop-Moody said growing up in the Communist country, Romania would test her perseverance. “They wanted to keep everyone thinking and behaving the same,” she recalled. “It was a rough trip to become a doctor. Determination and passion got me there.”

In 1985, Pop-Moody defected from Romania to Canada where she held position as Coordinator of Pulmonary Function Laboratory at Allergy and Respiratory Associates in Windsor, Ontario. “While Canada is a great country, the medical system is far more limited and not that friendly to foreign medical graduates,” she said. Pop-Moody remains a citizen of both Canada and the United States.

To stay abreast of the latest technologies in her field, Dr. Pop-Moody holds professional memberships with the American Medical Association, the American College of Physicians, the Texas Medical Association, and the Nueces County Medical Society. She holds hospital privileges at CHRISTUS Spohn Shoreline, CHRISTUS Spohn South, Doctors Regional, and Bay Area.

Noted for excellence in her field, Dr. Pop-Moody has received many awards including being named a “Super Doctor” by Texas Monthly for three years (2005, 2006, 2007), America’s Top Physician, 2006, 2007 by the Consumer Research Council of America.  Corpus Christi Rheumatology Clinic has also won “Talk of the Town” for 10 consecutive  years. Today as a true testament of her great work and for achieving excellence in patient care, Dr. Adriana Pop-Moody holds the prestigious title of “Patient Preferred Rheumatologist” and will be listed among the Top 100 Patient Preferred Physicians of 2021.

When Dr. Pop-Moody is not treating patients, she enjoys ballroom dancing, swimming, oil painting, playing piano, and traveling.
