Moore Center Expands Bellevue Eating Disorder Clinic

The Bellevue-based Moore Center, a clinic treating various eating disorders, recently expanded its Bellevue facility to 15,000 square feet, greatly increasing its treatment capacity.

Founded by Dr. Mehri Moore in 1991, the Bellevue clinic has a long history of treating eating disorders in children and adults. Dr. Moore wanted to make the clinic's programs available to more people in a more efficient manner and commited to an expansion some three years ago.

"We didn't want to have a long waiting list or barriers to patient care," Dr. Moore said.

The newly expanded clinic, up from 4,000 square feet, allows for a staff of 45, including three full-time doctors, and includes a 50 person dining room, a yoga studio, an art studio, two demonstration kitchens, two exam rooms, a classroom for onsite tutoring and overnight accomodations for up to six patients.

"We are extremely happy with how it turned out," Dr. Moore said.

Creating a serene and beautiful environment was of particular importantance to Dr. Moore.

"I think what is exciting is how patients perceive the environment," Dr. Moore said.

Dr. Moore also praised the expanded facility for being at the leading edge of technology.

"It's really given us a lot of options," Dr. Moore said.
