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.

Advises, advocates, and encourages
I have seen Dr. Morales since 2014 after knowing I had kidney disease for 10 years. He encouraged me to take steps to stop any further damage so that I did not have to go on dialysis. Before my kidneys were in full failure mode, Dr. Morales encouraged me to get a second opinion. When it came time to go on dialysis, I didn't want to do it, but he sat with me to understand the importance. I was blessed to only have been to on dialysis for 30 days before I had my transplant. Dr. Morles visited me in the hospital and after surgery and still is with me on my healthy journey 5 years later.

Finally a doctor who is more concerned about giving me specifics to prevent kidney stones and not evading my questions because they'd rather keep scheduling surgeries to remove new stones. Dr. Morales was very thorough in looking at my specifics with past tests and stones. Previous Dr. did not order what he should have to determine plan nor would he answer anything having to do with prevention. In 20 or so minutes with Dr. Morales I felt like I had a prevention plan.

He was texting someone swinging his legs back and forth, sitting on top of his desk as I was there for a visit they made me book to get a refill of a life long medicine I was one. He never looked me in the eyes and then said why are you here, like he was annoyed. The only time he looked at me was to tell me he wants me on valley fever medicine the rest of my life just in case I ever get it. I have seen many doctors in my life and by far this one the worst doctor I had. I can go on about my other visit with him but he was just as rude. After two or three visits with him I never went back.

He didn't tell me my diagnosis. Had I known what it was, I could have started treatment and prevented further damage to my kidneys.

Dr. Morales was very compassionate and proactive in diagnosing and treating me for diabetes insipidus. I ended up in the hospital twice during this time and he visited me both times and was patient in explaining what was going on. He advocated for me and even helped me get appointments with other doctors. I will say that I was less than impressed with others in his office. If you need an appointment, wait for HIM, not one of his partners.

I have been seeing Dr. Morales for nearly 10 years for a kidney disease. He typically sees you within 10 minutes of your appointment. He really listens and trusts that you know your body better then anyone. The best doctor I've ever seen. He won't ever rush you or make you feel like your taking too much time. You can have a 5 minute visit or a 30 minute visit. Highly recommended.

Outstanding! I initially was referred to Dr. Morales to control hypertension, which he has done with professionalism & care. Unlike many specialists, Dr. Morales listens & has provided me with advice on other medical issues also, treating the whole person. He's responsive to my specific needs & truly goes above and beyond. I rate his staff; his physician assistant & receptionist 5 stars also. I'm always able to talk to a live person, not voicemail. I highly recommend Dr. Morales! Ten stars...
