Dr. Seong-Jin Moon brings brain and spine surgery expertise to Flagler County
AdventHealth Palm Coast has added a neurosurgeon to its medical staff, expanding local access to brain and spine care for Flagler County residents.
Dr. Seong-Jin Moon, who specializes in both brain and spine surgery, has joined AdventHealth Medical Group and is now seeing patients at AdventHealth Palm Coast. He is one of nearly 25 physicians and advanced practitioners the health system has brought to Flagler County in the past year.
Moon treats brain and spine tumors, as well as spinal conditions including degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, and herniated discs. His practice focuses on minimally invasive surgical techniques, which can result in smaller incisions, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery times.
“Choosing neurosurgery felt like answering a calling,” Moon said. “The brain and spine touch every part of who we are. Helping patients heal in these areas is like restoring the foundation of a home — it allows every part of life to feel whole again.”
The addition of a neurosurgeon addresses growing healthcare needs in Flagler County, one of Florida’s fastest-growing areas. The county’s population is older than the national average, with a median age of 53.4 compared to 39 nationwide. Nearly one in three county residents is over 65.
Brain and spine conditions such as degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, and brain tumors become more common with age, making specialized care particularly relevant for the local population.
“Dr. Moon’s expertise brings an important service closer to home,” said Denyse Bales-Chubb, president and CEO for AdventHealth Flagler and St. Johns Counties. “For many families, traveling long distances for this type of care adds stress at an already difficult time. Now, they can get the care they need right here in Flagler County.”
Moon earned his medical degree from the University of Illinois College of Medicine in Urbana-Champaign and completed his residency at Oregon Health and Science University in Portland, Oregon. He previously served as a medical officer in the U.S. Army.
Moon’s office is located at 61 Memorial Medical Parkway, Suite 3808, Palm Coast. Appointments can be scheduled by calling 386-586-4293.
