Just heard this heartbreaking news. Dr Moulton was the kindest most wonderful Doctor. He performed my knee surgery last August, he gave me my life back. I always told him he was my miracle worker. My deepest condolences to his family and friends.
Not only was Dr Moulton. Our Dr and very good at his specialty he was more than a doctor to us. He was a friend he took time to speak to you as a person and not just a patient. He listened and he was always concerned not just about your issue while you were there with him but you and general, Dr. Moulton will be greatly missed, of course by his family, and also by all of us, his friends and his patients but never forgotten ❤️🩹😔🙏🏼
I am deeply saddened by Charlie's passing. He had a great bedside manner, a great personality and he cared about his patients and their feelings.

He was my favorite doctor. He is already missed. He will forever be in our hearts!
Blessings to all the family, his kids, girlfriend, siblings and parents.
I worked alongside Dr. Moulton in the operating room and found him to be one of my favorites. He was undoubtedly one of the most kind and patient people in every room he would walk in.

I am grateful for the time I got to work with him and thankful for the help he gave my mom. Dr. Moultan was a brilliant surgeon and a awesome person to work with. Sending his family positive thoughts.
My deepest condolences to the family! May you find the strength you need in the love of family and friends! My is heavy by the loss, yet my life has been touched and enhanced through his life. I'm reminded of these words, "earth has no sorrows, that heaven cannot heal".
Dr. Moulton was the most loving and caring Doctor I have ever met! He alway spent time with his patients and was determined to help them to be strong and healthy again! He will be greatly missed! May God Bless His Precious Family today and Always!🙏❤️
Dr Moulton operated and cared for my wife and my father in law and he was my Knee doctor.
Every time we went in for our appointments it was always a 15-20 minute conversation about The University of Houston Cougars basketball and football team.
We talked numerous times about how happy he was that his daughter would be attending UH.
He was the most honest, down to earth, tell you like it is Doctor we have ever had.
He was such a comfortable doctor to be around and always laughed and smiled around us.
He will he terribly missed.
Dr Moulton performed 3 successful surgeries on my wife . He was always patient and answered every question with detail. When he once referred us to a colleague for another ailment, he called that doctor on his cell while we were in his office and got us an appointment . Not many would do that. What a great physician he was!
We will miss him so as I’m sure all of his other patients will!
May God bless his legacy and his family.
I’m so sorry to hear of Dr. Moulton’s passing. My brother Forrest was a great friend of his brother, Quang. I know that Forrest met Charlie at heavens gates with a big hug❤️

When Charlie found out I was a welder and had access to all kinds of metal and engine parts for his metal art he ended up being a very good friend and what a sweet man he was. He fixed my broken femur due to my Billygoat acting up and then a hip replacement and a shoulder replacement and I will carry that man with me until my last breath because he enabled me to keep going at 72 years old God bless his family and all of his friends and patients. With true regret Timothy Brennan
I’m sad to read this. I grew up with Charlie in Friendswood and I always knew him as an extremely kind person. Prayers to the family and his friends.
So sorry to hear of Charlie’s passing. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family in this difficult time. I have many fond memories of our time together at Rice, whiling away the hours playing ping pong and foosball. He’s deeply missed.
Dr Moulton said my wrist wasn’t broken; it was crushed like an eggshell. He reassured me that he could make it work again. He did just that. Without his constant encouragement I probably would have given up on using it again. He made such an impact on my life, both mentally, physically and emotionally. I think of him every time I put it to use & am so saddened by his passing. I will be forever grateful. Rest in peace Dr. Always remembered.
I want to send my condolences to the family of my favorite DR. I have been with Dr. Moulton since he was here at UTMB residency. We did TELE MED together I was the coordinator and presenter for TDCJ. I just now 07-17-24 found out he has got his WINGS. I was making an appointment with him. O he will truly be MISSED!!!
Doctor Moulton completed 3 surgeries for my husband last year in 2023. I also became a patient in 2023.
We always enjoyed our visits with him. He was a fantastic doctor with an incredible bedside manner. Doctor Moulton was very kind, and really listened to and cared about his patients. He certainly made a difference in our lives, and we are both grateful to have known him.
Prayers for his family. RIP Doctor Moulton
I always told Dr. Moulton that he was my guardian Angel. After falling off a 2 story balcony, he relentlessly continued to reconstruct my knee and broken femur that refused to heal over the course of almost 2 years. I was calling for a follow up and I was told the news. I insisted that they were wrong. I put my life and complete trust in Dr. Moulton’s hands during so many surgeries that I will never forget him.I’m forever thankful for what you’ve done for me and all of your other patients, you will be incredibly missed. Prayers to the family.

My condolences to his family and the medical staff at Orthopedic Specialist Of Texas. He was an Amazing Doctor with great bedside manners. Dr. Moulton will be truly missed.
Dr. Moulton did my knee replacement surgery. He was a fantastic surgeon and person.
I am grateful for having him take care of me. I will probably have to have the other knee replaced.
I am sorry he won't be able to do that surgery.
I know he is in heaven and I do so hope to see him there some day.
I only saw Dr. Moulton once for my shoulder. He was very kind and gentle regarding my shoulder. He was very knowledgeable and caring. I was sad to hear of his passing. My condolences to his family.
Tears are running through my cheeks as I read the letter they sent, When I went to see dr Moulton I was so afraid and in pain and there he was, an angel that took the time to give comfort and help me with the pain, like everyone said he was very caring and a good doctor, those are hard to find, my heart goes with the family, he will be missed but always remembered
I was so impressed that Dr. Moulton was not only an excellent doctor, but a mechanical engineer like me. We found common language in discussing my knee and shoulder issues in engineering terms. Such a talent will be greatly missed.
Dr. Moulton did surgery on my wrist when I broke it during a fall in 2011. He was kind, gentle, warm, compassionate and sensitive to me as his patient. My heartfelt prayers for his family at this very difficult time! 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Dr. Moulton gave me gel injections in my knees. I got the notice today from his office . I am so saddened by his passing. He was always so kind, and caring. My heart and prayers go out to his family and friends
Dr Moulton did surgery on my mom for a broken femur and hip. He was amazing he took the time my mom wanted to talk to him ,no rushing her she was almost 90 when he fixed her up she is still with us 94 . She will be shocked when I tell her sending prayers 🙏 for all your family . God bless you and heaven really did gain another angel
I received my letter from OST yesterday and I'm just in shock. I had a a major tib-fib break a little over 2 years ago and with two small children, I was terrified for what my future held. I expected to walk with at the LEAST a limp for the rest of my life. However, I was able to leave his office 8 months later walking completely normal and withOUT a limp. He was always very kind and just a cool dude. I just still can't believe how early in his life he was called to go home. Prayers and condolences.
I met Dr. Moulton in 2019. I fell and shattered my elbow and had a vertical tibia break. Originally, the ambulance took me to a different hospital and the orthopedic surgeon said he would not touch my arm/elbow. They contacted HCA Houston Healthcare Hospital in Clear Lake be Dr. Moulton said he would do my surgeries, so they transported me to Clear Lake. When I was in pre-op, the nurse spoke SO highly of him and let me know that I was in great hands. At all my dr visits, he was very professional, thorough with explaining everything to me and so down to earth. He truly cared about his patients. I could tell that he had a great working relationship with his staff. About 3 yrs ago, I fell and twisted my ankle and went to see him and he joked that he knew he would see me again. I’m not the most graceful person, ha! He was an amazing surgeon/person. I know he will be missed by all. RIP Dr. Moulton.

My name is Susheela Hospeti. Yesterday I received a mail from his office that he had passed away. Dr Mouton fixed my broken femur bone on 2/7/1990. I met him several times later. He was so kind and gentle and spent time with you to learn about your problem and help you the best. We were shocked to read that he passed away. Our conversation condolences to his family and Rest in Peace Dr Moulton.
I am saddened to hear this news! Dr Moulton was a kind man who took care of this 83 year old ladywhen she fell and broke her wrist! It was a wonderful outcome and thank you to him and his staff. I will miss him! Sympathies to his family and friends. ♥️
I was deeply saddened to hear of Dr. Moulton's passing. He did my knee replacement just over a year ago. He always took the time to explain every aspect of the procedure. He was so compassionate! When he did the injection to ease the discomfort before I could have the knee surgery, he actually winced as he gave the injection! He was an excellent surgeon. My knee scar is very neat and thin. He will be missed a great deal!
As a patient, I have a tendency to ask a lot of questions, and Dr. Moulton kindly and patiently answered all of them. He helped me understand why I was having pain in my right shoulder and what I could do going forward. He took his time. I am now so saddened to hear he recently passed.
Shocked and saddened at the passing of Dr. Moulton. He truly offered sincere care of me, and I am sure the rest his patients. He always took the time to figure out what were the options for treating my knee issues and willing to step slowly with me through trying each one. God bless him and keep him.
I am so saddened by Dr. Moulton’s passing. We talked Superhero movies for the entirety of my visit. He was a good doctor and I give my condolences to his family.
Rest in peace Dr. Moulton, and my deepest condolences to his family and loved ones. Grateful to have had him as my surgeon of my first surgery. I will think of it as carrying a small piece of him.
Dr.Moulton was an extraordinary, intelligent, caring, polite, respectful physician and human. He did three surgeries on my left arm. Being a RN. For many years, I can attest to his professional capabilities and personal attributes as one of the best individuals that I have ever known. He repaired my arm to an extent that I almost have full usage. I am so saddened by the loss of this wonderful, caring professional. Prayers and caring for his children and his family.
