Dr. Morales has been our family physician for 15 years, we were very lucky to find him. He always has a pleasant demeanor, you never feel rushed during his visits and his diagnosis is nearly always correct. He is a very caring person, and it shows.

Dr. Morelos is very personable, but he does not however run the necessary tests for a proper diagnosis. It appears as though they are there just to collect insurance money and really don't care about the patients. He is s fine for treating colds or simple ailments. If you have anything more serious going on, he is definitely not a good doctor.

Dr Morelos is truly the best Pcp I have ever had. He listens with a compassionate heart and always goes out of his way to see me when I am sick. I am never rushed in the office & always get a call back on test results. I have referred him to many family members & friends!

Dr Morelos and staff are terrific. Dr. Joe is kind compassionate and knows his stuff. The nasty patients that come into the office leave a lot to be desired. Pay your copay...don't give the staff a hard time, you signed up for that insurance! Yes you have to wait, you showed up late!

They call and say that you have missed a appt. that you never made in the first place and than tell you there is a 25 dollar charge for missed appt's. trust me it just happened again today. Do yourself a favor and find another doc. Somewhere that your not a # and treated like a HUMAN. Someone who is not judged, or treated disrespectfully, someone who is there because they need to be NOT because they have nothing better to do.

Great doc! I have no insurance and live on a fixed income, he gave me a self pay rate that was affordable. Also spoke with the lab and they were able to give me a self pay rate as well. The lab is allowing me to make monthly affordable payments. Dr. Morelos said they could do the same if needed. The office is busy, but well worth the wait.
