Baharak Moshiree, MD

“I often feel we have so much unfinished business in medicine and research, and this is what moves me forward. I love taking care of patients who are the unicorns of gastrointestinal (GI) issues, meaning those with difficult-to-diagnose and chronic medical conditions for which we currently do not have answers. It’s a gift to be able to enhance someone's quality of life by making simple changes, whether it’s their diet or their mental or physical health.”

Dr. Moshiree is board certified in gastroenterology. She specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions related to poor intestinal motility, including gastroparesis, intestinal dysmotility and pseudo-obstruction. She also specializes in pelvic floor disorders, chronic idiopathic constipation, neurogenic bowel, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), carbohydrate malabsorption or intolerance, eosinophilic GI conditions, esophageal motility disorders and achalasia (food cannot pass into the stomach).

She is the director of motility for the Atrium Health Department of Gastroenterology.

Dr. Moshiree was honored with the Atrium Health Teal Acorn Award for Academic Preceptor of the Year and the Wake Forest University Established Investigator in Clinical/Population Science Award. She is the American College of Gastroenterology Governor for North Carolina and a council member of the American Neurogastroenterology and Motility Society. She is the associate editor of the American Journal of Gastroenterology.

She received a master’s degree in clinical investigation and her medical degree from the University of Florida and completed residency at Virginia Commonwealth University.

When not working, Dr. Moshiree enjoys outdoor activities like exercising, swimming, scuba diving in the ocean and visiting the beach. Her favorite vacations are those with her parents and good friends. She loves going to concerts and movies. She considers herself an old soul and prefers older, classic films and has a keen interest in the history of the 1920s.
