Born in London, England (UK) with Jamaican heritage, Dr. Moyenda came to this country at the age of 4 and was raised in the blue collar city of Rockford, IL (near Chicago).  Dr. Moyenda and his family moved down to South Florida in 1987 during his last year of high school. He attended North Miami Senior High before going on to the Florida State University to study Clinical Psychology.  He would ultimately complete his undergraduate studies at the Florida International University with a B.A. in Psychology with minors in Criminology and African-American Studies in 1995.  He immediately went on to pursue his MBA degree in Healthcare Administration at Temple University in Philadelphia, PA for which he completed with honors in 1998.

 

After completing his graduate studies in business administration, Dr. Moyenda began his healthcare career in the managed care (HMO) industry.  He developed advanced competencies in physician & hospital contracting, physician relations, medical reimbursement, customer & patient-care satisfaction, medical & cultural compliance, healthcare finance and medical ethics.   After working for 8 years on the business side of medicine, Dr. Moyenda decided to pursue his ultimate dream of becoming a doctor at the age of 36.  As he put it, “I wanted to be closer to the action when it comes to helping people.”

 

Dr. Moyenda graduated cum laude from the American University of Antigua College of Medicine in 2010. He performed most of his clinical training in New York City.  He would later go on to complete his post-graduate residency training in Family & Community Medicine at the Meharry/Vanderbilt College of Medicine Alliance Program in Nashville, TN in 2015.  He is currently employed full-time as a Hospitalist Physician in Broward county Florida.

 

Dr. Moyenda is a highly skilled and talented, physician leader who cares deeply about the overall being of all of his patients and clinical support staff.  He understands diversity well because he lives it daily.  He treats his patients with dignity and humility. He strives earnestly to provide the best experience possible with every patient visit.  His personal motto of “My patients come first, second and first” is not simply a slogan.  In fact, it is one of main driving forces for which he created the Tazkiyah Health Institute. 

Dr. Moyenda is fully licensed to practice medicine in the State of Florida.  He is a Diplomate of the American Board of Family Medicine and he holds active memberships in:

 

• The Society of Hospital Medicine

In his free time, Dr. Moyenda enjoys spending time with his wife and two children attending Islamic religious activities, museums and outdoor activities.  He is an avid reader of personal self-development books, organizational management, autobiographies and Black literature.
