About Dr. Maya Moody, DO
Updated Sep 20, 2026 · next review Dec 19, 2026Dr. Maya Moody is a pediatrician (DO) who practices at the Mercy Hospital JFK Clinic in St. Louis, Missouri. She is described as a community pediatrician, meaning she provides general care for children rather than a narrow subspecialty (https://missouriaap.org/meetdrmoody/). She earned her medical degree from A.T. Still University Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine in 2009 (https://doctor.webmd.com/doctor/maya-moody-b67db325-da77-4634-97c6-e6505dfbf902-overview).
She has been active in her state pediatric society. She served as president of the Missouri Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics (MOAAP) from 2022 to 2024 and is now Immediate Past President. She has been a MOAAP member for over 12 years and is a Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics (https://missouriaap.org/meetdrmoody/). In that role she issued a public statement supporting Missouri SB 45, a law that extended postpartum care for low-income mothers (https://missouriaap.org/moaap-statement-on-sb45/).
Her public statements line up with standard pediatric guidance. In 2020 she was quoted urging families to keep up with checkups and vaccines during the COVID-19 pandemic so that community immunity against measles would not drop (https://www.stlpr.org/health-science-environment/2020-05-07/pediatricians-say-children-need-checkups-and-vaccines-even-during-covid-19). She also appeared in a Mercy Hospital St. Louis video encouraging parents to check that their children's school immunizations were up to date (https://www.facebook.com/MercyHospitalSTL/videos/its-immunizationmonth-and-dr-maya-moody-wants-to-know-if-your-mercykids-are-vacc/1066494257303312/). No statements promoting supplements or alternative medicine were found.

Worth knowing
- Directory sites disagree on her hospital affiliations. Healthgrades lists Missouri Baptist Medical Center and Mercy Hospital St. Louis, while Vitals lists Mercy Children's Hospital Saint Louis. It is worth confirming where she currently sees patients before booking. healthgrades.com
- Several aggregator profiles list her credential as 'MD' rather than 'DO,' and one WebMD listing attaches unrelated tags such as physical therapy, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and a neuropsychology address. These appear to be directory data errors rather than a description of her general pediatrics practice. doctor.webmd.com

A word of caution about these numbers
A payment does not mean your doctor is compromised or acting unethically. Most of these entries are drug samples left for patients, or lunch brought in for the office staff, and the amounts are usually small. Research funding and speaking at medical meetings are also normal parts of a clinical career.
As a rough guide, a total under $15,000 a year is usually not a concern. Much larger sums, especially from one company whose product your doctor recommends to you, are worth asking about. You are allowed to ask.
