Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I was so impressed that he took time with me to discuss my options. I feel really confident about my options and confident while under his care.

He didn’t want to treat me and brushed me off.
I left my appointment in tears! I have 7 autoimmune diseases, severe. Dysautonomia, sick sinus syndrome, and other diagnoses. He didn’t even glance at the papers I brought that included my last pacemaker check that showed my PACs had gone from 2,000 a day to over 22,000! He couldn’t have cared less. He also didn’t listen to me. If he had, he would have realized that I had a life threatening interaction with two medications. I have since found another doctor who caught it immediately and said I was lucky to be alive. And then, Doctor Morales mails me a heart monitor to wear! No thank you! I am sending it back. He never even looked at my EKG or listened to my heart. Basically, he told me and my husband. “ you are broken and I can’t help you.” Even if that’s true (and it certainly wasn’t according to my new cardiologist) there was a nicer way to say it. My advice is, if you have multiple health issues, DO NOT see this man. He doesn’t care and doesn’t have time for you.
