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.

It has always been a good experience. Dr. Morales spend time listening to and is always professional. I would recommend Dr. Morales to anyone.

Trust him unequivocally
I agree with everything each 5* reviewer’s comments. All I can add is his recognition of my chronic kidney disease and how my heart is effected. That means he can explain the relationship and ramifications to me. He speaks to me in plain language and allows me to ask as many questions as I need to be clear. He has the ability to explain things in such a way that I don’t freak out.

Dr Morales is very patient. He never seems that he is in a hurry to get you out of there. He returns phone calls in a timely manner. No wait time for appointments. My husband is a patient of his and if ever I need to see a heart doctor I will definitely see him. We have confidence in him and I would recommend him to everyone. We love him.

Everyone in this office is friendly, professional, knowledgeable and helpful. Dr. Morales is the best--he patiently explains what's happening, and allows enough time for any questions. My only complaint: I was called NINE times to confirm my upcoming appointment! Too much!

I was referred to Dr. Morales. I was extremely nervous anticipating "WHAT! I am going to a cardiologist!!" I worked for years in nursing and I have to tell you since we moved to Southern Arizona, we have had challenges finding Docs who look you in the eye and genuinely seem to care about the patient.... Docs who understand that the patient is NOT just another number. Docs who express candid concern when needed and joy when the concerns are not necessary. I met Dr. Morales and all I could think as I drove home after my appointment, was "I have worked with many various doctors over the years, and this is the Doc (finally!) who gets it all..... he grasps the patient's anxieties and needs and addresses them in a comforting manner. Well, that was this patient's experience and I hope it will guide some others' decisions when a cardiologist is needed.
