Dallasite Dr. Tiffany Moon is equal parts anesthesiologist, fashion icon, and philanthropic powerhouse, with just a dash of sass of which Texas just can’t get enough. Known for her elegance, her heart, and her sharp sense of humor, Moon is as comfortable under the operating room lights as she is in the spotlight. This Texas gem first stole hearts as a star on The Real Housewives of Dallas, but she’s oh so much more than a reality TV personality—she’s a leader in the medical field and a champion of charitable causes across the state.

Dr. Moon’s style is nothing short of runway-ready: think tailored power suits, a love for luxe accessories, and, of course, an impressive collection of Louboutins that could make even the most seasoned fashionistas blush. Beyond her fabulous wardrobe, Moon shines brightest in her commitment to empowering women through events like the LeadHer Summit that happens November 8-11, and has penned a book, Joy Prescriptions that debuts November 8th. Through these endeavors, she uses her platform to elevate other women, championing conversations around leadership, resilience, and self-confidence.

As our very own Lance Avery Morgan learned when he caught up with her recently, when she’s not transforming lives in the OR, she’s transforming lives through philanthropy, embodying grace, grit, and a commitment to giving back to her community—qualities that make Dr. Tiffany Moon a true Texas treasure.

The best career advice I’ve received is…

Tiffany Moon: Never stop learning. Staying curious and open to growth is what keeps you evolving both personally and professionally. If I hadn’t done this, I would have never been a Real Housewife, entrepreneur, or author.

Due to my involvement with The Real Housewives of Dallas, I have found that…

Tiffany Moon: Being vulnerable and authentic, even in the public eye, allows you to connect with people on a deeper level.

Three qualities that got me where I am today are…

Tiffany Moon: Resilience, determination, and adaptability.

The easiest career decision I ever made is…

Tiffany Moon: Becoming an anesthesiologist. I knew I wanted to help people, and this field allows me to make a direct impact on patients’ lives. Also, I tend to have obsessive-compulsive tendencies but as an anesthesiologist, it’s a good thing.

Being an anesthesiologist, my bond with patients is important because…

Tiffany Moon: Trust is everything in my role. Patients put their lives in my hands, so creating a bond helps them feel safe and cared for during their most vulnerable moments.

With the LeadHer Summit, I am excited because…

Tiffany Moon: It’s an opportunity to empower women and share knowledge that helps them grow in their careers and personal lives. Also, it’s going to be the most fun and luxurious conference ever- did you hear I’m giving away a Birkin at the glam gala?

At the Summit, a guest can expect to…

Tiffany Moon: Network with incredible women, gain valuable insights from top speakers, and leave feeling inspired and ready to level up.

What is influencing me right now is…

Tiffany Moon: My children! They’re just so pure and just want to have a good time. Sometimes I feel like I’ve lost touch with the child inside me, but my children remind me to just play and have a good time.

How I made my first dollar…

Tiffany Moon: Besides being a babysitter and a tutor, my first ‘real’ job where I got a paycheck was being a hostess at a restaurant called China Palace.

First music I bought was…

Tiffany Moon: Mariah Carey’s Music Box CD

Last thing I binge/marathon watched…

Tiffany Moon: Ali Wong’s Single Lady special on Netflix.

Book that left a lasting impression on me…

Tiffany Moon: Becoming by Michelle Obama. It’s a powerful reminder of resilience and owning your story.

On that note, my favorite fictional character is…

Tiffany Moon: Mulan. She’s courageous, selfless, and strong.

My real-life hero has got to be…

Tiffany Moon: My mother. She’s the epitome of strength and grace.

If I lived in a foreign city it would be…

Tiffany Moon: Paris—it’s the perfect mix of art, culture, and sophistication.

What everyone should try in their lifetime is…

Tiffany Moon: Solo travel. It’s a life-changing experience that forces you to grow and reflect.

If I could compete in an Olympic sport, or create one, it would be…

Tiffany Moon: Well, I was a figure skater in my previous life…but I would have never been good enough to make it to the Olympics. Maybe something silly like break dancing (haha!)

If I weren’t a doctor I would be a…

Tiffany Moon: Fashion designer—I love the idea of blending creativity with style. Each piece would be like a piece of art.

A celebrity I would prank phone call and what I would ask them is…

Tiffany Moon: Paris Hilton. I would do something silly like send a huge cake to her house that says Happy Birthday when it’s not her birthday and see how she reacts. I think pranks should be relatively harmless and not too mean. I don’t like it when they get out of hand.

My hidden talent that most people might not guess is…

Tiffany Moon: I don’t know if this is a hidden talent but I can rotate my hand 360 degrees because I have elbow hypermobility (it’s a cool party trick).

If I had a superpower, I’d want it to be…

Tiffany Moon: The ability to teleport—imagine traveling anywhere in an instant!

A simple way to get people to laugh is easy. Just…

Tiffany Moon: Tell them a self-deprecating story. Humor is the best icebreaker.

A phrase I might overuse would be…

Tiffany Moon: Do you know what I mean?

My motto?

Tiffany Moon: Work hard, stay humble.

Favorite scent these days is (because)…

Tiffany Moon: Phlur’s Vanilla Skin- sweet but not overly so and soft and subtle.

My style icon is…

Tiffany Moon: Audrey Hepburn. Timeless, elegant, and effortlessly chic.

My personal style signifier is…

Tiffany Moon: A Birkin- what did you expect?

The classic designer I wish was still designing today would be…

Tiffany Moon: Coco Chanel. Her designs are iconic, and her vision shaped modern fashion.

The last meal that truly impressed me was…

Tiffany Moon: A truffle risotto at a small restaurant in Italy with fresh shaved white truffle—rich, creamy, and unforgettable.

In my fridge, you will always find… 

Tiffany Moon: Real Coco Coconut water, Poppi (orange flavor), and pickles

My perfect day would end…

Tiffany Moon: With a glass of wine on the patio, watching the sunset with my family, cuddles with my children and dogs, and a nice massage.

On my tombstone, it will say…

Tiffany Moon: She lived fully, loved deeply, and inspired others.
