About Dr. Moss
Dr. Ashley Moss has cared for children as a pediatrician in the Washington, DC area for over seventeen years. In 2016, she opened her solo practice that delivered primary pediatric care to children in their homes. Managing every aspect of this unique house-call practice, Dr. Moss cultivated special patient-physician relationships and gathered important insight into the fundamental factors that build and maintain the health and resilience of children. She also witnessed the benefits of leveraging technology to more efficiently manage a pediatric practice, to allow more time to deliver the personal engagement of an “old school” medical model. Dr. Moss has evolved the house call-based practice to become Pediatric Care Advisors. The goal of Pediatric Care Advisors is to improve care for medically complex children by leveraging technology to better manage and coordinate care for children.
Over the course of her career, Dr. Moss has practiced pediatrics in numerous medical settings all over the world.
- She practiced primary care in the Washington, DC area
- Worked in a pediatric emergency unit in Baltimore
- Served as the doctor at summer camps in upstate New York
- Completed pediatric residency in New York City
- Worked in rural clinics in Vietnam
- Cared for TB and leprosy patients at a hospital in Uganda
- Treated HIV positive children in an orphanage in Honduras
Dr. Moss has a deep interest in public health and health policy. She was a politics major at Princeton University and during medical school held several leadership positions at the Medical College of Virginia’s Legislative Affairs and Health Promotion and Disease Prevention committees.
Dr. Moss is the president of the Montgomery County Pediatric Society, an organization that connects primary care pediatricians and pediatric specialists and hosts academic lectures quarterly.
Most importantly, Dr. Moss is a passionate and dedicated pediatrician. She feels fortunate to practice pediatrics and is committed to finding innovative ways to improve the quality of care for all our children.

Our three children have needed to see numerous specialists and Dr. Moss has a real pulse on the medical community and who we should see for each individual challenge. Not only that, but she has been a sounding board for us as parents, and seeks to have a thorough understanding of all parts of the problem so that each decision we make is measured, giving us great comfort.”
