Randal Morgan is my all time favorite medical professional because he actively listens and responds to what I say. He has helped me with several concerns including migraines, a frozen shoulder and now vertigo. I highly recommend Randal Morgan. He’s the best!

Bethany was very professional. She took the time to sit and explain my issue and assure me that she would take great care of me and get me through whatever might happen. She really listened to my concerns and made me feel at ease.

My time with the doctor always feels very rushed. I appreciate her making me feel at ease during the exam but there's literally no time to discuss anything.

Prescription Medication / Rx Refill

I was scheduled for a mammogram appointment at 10:15am and an annual women's health exam with Dr. Ramos-Gonzales at 10:50am. The mammogram was exam was exactly on time and took about 10 minutes. However, it wasn't until 12:10pm that I saw Dr. Ramos-Gonzales, which was an hour and 20 minutes past my appointment time. I had let them know I had another doctor's appointment after this one but it didn't seem to matter - they still did not get me in until very far past my appointment time. When I saw Dr. Ramos-Gonzales, it was very rushed. Although I think she was probably trying to be aware of the impact of her delay on my schedule, I had questions for her and it felt very rushed. Given I only see her once per year and that I waited so long after my appointment time to make sure I saw her, I would have expected to have more time. I doubt we were together even 10 minutes. I like Dr. Ramos-Gonzales and have gone to her for years. but with the relocation of her office (which is very inconvenient), the consistency of running very late for appointments and the "always rushed" feel - when I see her, I'm not sure this is the right option for me anymore. It makes me wonder if she just has way too many patients or something. I have multiple other doctors I see on a regular basis. None of them have these issues. They are all consistently on time and give me the time I need.

Routine Pregnancy / Prenatal Appointment

Dr. Reid answered my questions and beyond. Dr. Reid gave me helpful information that I could understand as well as a plan moving forward.
