Let me preface this review- I’m absolutely terrified…. petrified of dentists. Majorly full blown anxiety attacks. The 1st time I met Dr. Morales, I went into an anxiety attack & he left the room for he felt he was stressing me more. Through the kindness of dental assistant, Estefania, & Insurance Clerk, Agustina, I was able to calm down. When Dr. Morales returned, he was kind, reassuring, & patient with me. He didn’t make me feel rushed, as he explained the dental implant procedure. It was as if I was his only patient. I entrusted doing the procedure with Dr. Morales. Through this 1st phase, where he had to remove remaining teeth & cap bases, Dr. Morales was a great comfort putting me at ease. He had to anesthetize me & it happened so quickly & professionally, I barely remember the process until waking up. Dr. Morales was thorough in his work & did an excellent job explaining the next steps to a groggy person. I’ve seen him on a follow up visit & surprisingly for me, I had NOT ONE moment of anxiety. Dr. Morales has made me feel beyond at ease & reassured. I felt no pressure as he completed the examination & answered every one of my questions. It’s been a very long time since I’ve felt comfortable with a dentist, but I can absolutely say that Dr. Morales is golden. He is a consummate professional - knowledgeable, explains every step of the way with patience & clarity. I have had minimal to no pain as he has completed the necessary work towards implants. In all honesty, I am actually very comfortable with him. I can also attest to the kindness & patience of his staff. The front desk is efficient, kind & easy going. The X-ray staff are also so friendly & explain everything they need to do. The dental assistants & anesthetist were soothing & genuinely were concerned with my comfort. I have to express my gratitude towards Estefania & Agustina. These 2 ladies are instrumental in my staying in the office the first day. They both are calming & go above & beyond to make a patient more comfortable. Augustina did not have to be in the examining room, prior to seeing Dr. Morales, but after building a rapport over the phone & understanding my phobia, she came to let me know I was in good hands. I appreciate her kindness & extra efforts. Initially, I might not have stayed if not for Estefania & Agustina. I’m immensely grateful for their heartfelt interest in seeing me through the beginning stages. Without them, I truly would have bolted & never met Dr. Morales. I’m extremely happy that I did stay. In my eyes, Dr. Morales is, as I’ve previously stated, golden. I wish he did general dentistry as well. Any & all anxiety would be gone. Dr. Morales is just that great & I cannot thank him enough.

I have been coming to Dr. Morales for years, I would not trust anybody else but him with my teeth. He has done excellent work with my implants. The office has implemented modern systems to help with reminders, rescheduling, and notifications. Very little time is wasted here, and I love that because I am a very professional woman. I care a lot about quality. For the speed and the quality of the dental work, I was happy with the pricing. His staff is super friendly and caring. I know my children and grandchildren will be coming to him as long as he does not retire.

Dr. Morales performed two implants on me in Aug 2014. Although one implant failed six years later in 2020, it was not the doctor's fault. I had him extract that implant. The other implant failed in Oct 2022, but, again, I don't blame Dr. Morales because my jaw bone is apparently not in the best condition to hold implants for as long as I'd like. I had Dr. Morales remove the abutment and just leave the implant. I had my dentist make partial dentures to replace where the side-by-side implants were previously located. All-in-all, Mr. Morales is a good oral surgeon.
