Dr. John Moos serves as a peer reviewer for research articles by Psychedelic Passage. He is a former Trauma and Acute Care Surgeon with over two decades of experience across several hospitals, including Sutter Health Memorial Medical Center and North Valley Hospital District.

He earned his medical degree from the University of California, Davis School of Medicine, followed by postgraduate training at Keck School of Medicine at USC, where he served as Chief Resident in General Surgery. 

During this time, after dedicating his life to the art and science of medicine, he felt called to put the scalpel down and find a new way to heal.

Aside from his professional licensure and medical training with Keck School of Medicine at USC and LA County Medical Center, he immersed himself in psychedelic and healing programs at California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS), Psychedelic Research And Training Institute (PRATI), Multidisciplinary Association of Psychedelic Studies (MAPS), The Gottman Institute, and many other notable organizations. 

In 2019, he began his formal journey as Soul Surgeon and in 2021, opened his practice, Moos MD, a psychedelic healing sanctuary in Los Angeles, California, specializing in trauma healing, mental health challenges, psychedelic education, SSRI tapering and optimizing well-being.

Relying on his deep experience in all contexts of trauma, as well as his own journey through self-healing, he is able to apply the wisdom learned and earned from both professional and personal experiences to support every client’s healing journey. 

Continuously developing his approach to psychedelic healing, Dr. Moos has created a unique framework and training curriculum that integrates the realms of medicine and mysticism, providing practical and accessible methods for beginning a healing journey.

Dr. Moos is also a dedicated family man, happily married and a father to six children in a modern, blended family. His personal and professional experiences make him a valuable contributor to our educational content, enhancing our understanding and exploration of psychedelic research.
