Dr. Sondi Moore-Waters is a board-certified Family Practice Physician whose career has been defined by excellence, discipline, and an unwavering commitment to her patients. She earned her medical degree from Meharry Medical College in 1987 and completed her Family Practice residency at Morehouse School of Medicine in 1992. That same year, she became board certified through the American Academy of Family Physicians.
Dr. Moore-Waters has always pursued medicine with a singular purpose: to provide the highest level of care and achieve the best possible outcomes for her patients. Her approach is rooted in continuous learning, ensuring that she remains at the forefront of modern medicine and delivers the most current, evidence-based care available. From this commitment, she coined the guiding principle of her practice, “Better Health For Better Life”.
Dedicated to expanding the scope of care she offers, Dr. Moore-Waters pursued advanced training in integrative medicine beginning in 2015. Through extensive study, lectures, and continuing medical education, she became a Diplomate of the American Board of Integrative Holistic Medicine on December 31, 2016, earning board certification in perpetuity and the distinction of A.B.I.H.M.
Her commitment to excellence continued. In 2023, she began advanced training in lifestyle medicine, recognizing the profound impact that daily habits have on long-term health. On December 8, 2024, she achieved certification through the International Board of Lifestyle Medicine, earning the distinction of A.C.L.M., with certification extending through December 31, 2034.
Dr. Moore-Waters holds three board-level distinctions, reflecting her relentless dedication to growth and to elevating the care she provides. She firmly believes that more than 70% of the conditions that affect health can be prevented or significantly improved through lifestyle modification.
She not only teaches this philosophy, she lives it. A dedicated vegan since 1994, she maintains a consistent fitness routine of at least four days per week and exemplifies the principles of health and vitality she shares with her patients. Her commitment to wellness is evident in her own life, as she remains medication-free, in excellent health, and consistently present for her patients. In fact, her patients have never known her to be absent due to illness.
For more than three decades, Dr. Moore-Waters has been a trusted and steady presence for her patients and their families. Her consistency, discipline, and dedication have built lasting relationships rooted in trust.
At Cerium Family Practice, she offers not only her expertise, but her example, providing patients and their families with the knowledge, guidance, and care needed to live healthier, stronger, and more fulfilling lives.
Why Cerium Exists:
Cerium Family Practice was built on a simple but powerful belief: Medicine should do more than treat illness, it should prevent it.
For over three decades, Dr. Sondi Moore-Waters has dedicated her life to caring for patients and their families with consistency, discipline, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. From the very beginning of her career, she recognized that the best outcomes are not achieved by simply reacting to disease, but by staying ahead of it. That belief became the foundation of her work, and ultimately, the foundation of Cerium.
Her approach to medicine is rooted in knowledge, prevention, and personal accountability. She has continually advanced her training, earning multiple board-level distinctions in Family Practice, Integrative Medicine, and Lifestyle Medicine, all with the purpose of offering her patients the most comprehensive, forward-thinking care possible.
