Dr. Rodolfo Alejandro Morales, MD

H

He misdiagnose me. Instead of treating me for bipolar mood disorder he gave me antidepressants which made me more manic. He will charge you $15 for call back phone call. Worst doctor ever.

Thanks for your patience with me!

I could not have asked anymore of the Dr. than he gave. Not only has the opeeration been a success, but the time spent after the proceedure with my family was wisely done and extremely helpfull to the family. I could not ask anymore of anyone

I told Dr. Morales that my neurologist said there were white spots on my MRI. I said my neurologist didn't know what had caused them or what they indicated.Dr. Morales immediately asserted that they were age spots.I find it very odd that Dr. Morales could know for certain they were age spots even though he had never seen my MRI and couldn't know how large the spots were or where they were located in my brain.This is typical of his approach. He will tell me absolutely that thus and so is true when actually there is no way he could know for certain that what he says is true.He does not seem to understand the scientific method or established medical procedure.

I had headaches every day. Dr. Morales told me it was because I had high blood pressure. I checked with my primary care doctor. She said I did not have high blood pressure. Often when I had a headache my husband took my blood pressure and he didn't find I had high blood pressure. I checked with a different psychiatrist. He said it might be a tension headache. I checked the internet and found some comments that helped me. Finally, after many months, my primary care doctor said I should message my neck and that would stop the headaches. She was right.It is truly odd that Dr. Morales should tell me the headache was due to high blood pressure when he had never taken my blood pressure. This is typical of his approach to doctoring. He feels that his intuition is superior to scientific evidence or established medical procedures. I strongly suspect that the other nice comments about Dr. Morals you can read on this website were written by a health care professional who is friends… with Dr. Morales. I can't image that one of his patients would say those things.

I suspect Dr. Morales himself wrote the above review.My problem with him is that he doesn't believe what I tell him.For nine years I told him I wasn't worried, wasn't upset, wasn't restless, yet I still could not fall asleep. He told me to take Risperidone because it would make me sleepy. He said if I didn't take the medication, I would have a nervous breakdown.After nine years he smiled and said as if he were ridiculing me that I got maniky at bed time. I suppose that his word "Maniky" is a cute form for the word "manic" as in manic-depressive disorder.If Dr. Morales believed I was lying about feeling calm and ready to sleep, he could have called my husband to see what he said. My husband is an intelligent professional who would never stay married to a crazy woman who was bouncing off the walls every night. I have been married 41 years.I finally stopped taking the drug "Risperidone" and now have no trouble falling asleep.It says right on the pharmacy information sheet that some… people may have difficulty sleeping if they use Risperidone. I was truly an idiot not to have stopped the medication sooner and switched doctors.I have not taken Risperidone for nine months. I have not had a nervous breakdown. I think Dr. Morales should not threaten me and tell me I would be hospitalized if I didn't take his favorite medicine.

Dr. Morales is very practical and in his approach with clients. He strives to make sure that medication and lifestyle are working well and that the reasons for using medication fit the condition as best a possible. He is timely and responsive in meeting clients needs with ongoing prescriptions. He is very easy to talk with, and speaks intelligently about his field of expertise and is thorough in analysis of present conditions and in looking foward proactively with future concerns. He also seems like a genuine person which is not often obvious with doctors.
