I have suffered from lumbar pain from discogenic disease for about 7 years. Visited 10 doctors in the Miami and Fort Lauderdale area without obtaining significant pain relief. Dr. Morales performed a percutaneous dickectomy at two different levels, and I was able to walk out of his office with a 100% pain relief and only two bandages. I continue to be pain free at this time.
Great doctor!!!! Very caring and understanding. Spends appropriate amount of time with patients. Excellent bedside manners. He is always trying new treatments and technologies to treat pain and improve the quality of life for his patients. I obtained about 80% improvements just after my first treatment. I have been getting the procedures for 2 years now and I feel great. All his patients love him dearly. I highly recommend Dr. Morales!!
Terrible doctor. Gives you appointment times which are mere suggestions as he makes you wait several hours in his office before seeing you (despite making the appointment time). The staff does not let you know what your status is or when you'll be seen and they are extremely rude. After waiting said hours you can expect that some "emergency" has cropped up and the doctor will not see you today. This happened to me twice. If you are a busy person with a hectic schedule, this is not the man to see to alleviate your pain. Mine was exacerbated simply by sitting for the hours he made me wait for nothing. Furthermore, he takes very limited insurances and charges astronomic fees for consultation and injections. In sum, he is really the complete opposite of what values I look for in doctors. Beware..
I am on strong pain medication for the last 30 yeats. I HEVER HAD A DOCTOR WITHHOLD MEDICATION I NEEDED.I WAS TOLD I HAD TO GO THROUGH A SURGICAL PROCEDURE, EVERY 3 MONTHS, FOREVER. !!! AND I WOULD NOT GET MY PAIN MEDICATION PRESCRIPTION UNTIL AFTER THE OPERATION WAS DONE, WHEN DISCHARGED!!!!! ON THE I have ALREADY UNDERGONE 20 OF THE EXACT OPERATIONS 18 years ago this surgery never helped before at all. This Doctor knew that. My insurance company would be billed almost 4,000.00 dollars every time this surgery was done. FORCED SURGERY FOR A CHRONIC PAIN PATIENT IS MEDICAL TORTURE, WITHHOLDING MEDICATION AND BEING FORCED TO SUBMIT TO SPINAL PUNCTURES AND SURGERY IS JUST PAIN ON MORE PAIN. "IN THIS OFFICE YOU DO WHAT THE DOCTOR SAYS !!!!! " WAS SCREAMED TO ME BY THE 20 YEAR OLD OFFICE STAFF MANAGER, "IF YOU WANT YOUR PAIN MEDS YOU GET THE SURGERY!!!!" . DO YOU WANT TO GO THROUGH THAT ? IS THAT HOW A REAL DOCTOR WORKS, I HAVE A GREAT DOCTOR NOW AND IF PATIONT DOSEN'T WANT TO BE CUT UP EVERY THREE MONTHS VER MONEY. HE OR SHE WILL NOT BE FORCED TO DO ANYTHING THEY DON'T WANT ON MY FATHER'S GRAVE I SWEAR THIS IS ALL TRUE, EVERY WORD.... THEY TALKED TO ME LIKE I WAS A DOG....
