Biography
Taha Moussa, M.D., is a Pediatric Rheumatologist at Children’s Health℠ and an Assistant Professor at UT Southwestern Medical Center. He specializes in caring for children with a broad spectrum of rheumatologic conditions. These conditions include juvenile idiopathic arthritis and related inflammatory arthritides, as well as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and other connective tissue diseases. Dr. Moussa also cares for children with systemic and small-vessel vasculitis, autoinflammatory and periodic fever syndromes and immune dysregulation disorders.
“I am passionate about pediatric rheumatology because it allows me to build long-term relationships with my patients and help children with severe, potentially devastating autoimmune diseases achieve a normal lifestyle without limitations,” Dr. Moussa says.
Dr. Moussa earned his medical degree from Suez Canal University. He completed pediatric residency training at Boston Children’s Hospital/Boston Medical Center and Hamad General Hospital. He then pursued fellowship training in pediatric rheumatology at the University of Chicago Comer Children’s Hospital and additional fellowship training in pediatric neurology at Hamad General Hospital.
As a parent himself, Dr. Moussa approaches each patient with the same care, attention and dedication he would give his own children.
Outside of medicine, he enjoys staying active through sports and spending quality time with his family and children.
