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.

1 appointment for less than 30 mins cost 1,550$
My son had an appointment that lasted for less than 30 minutes with Dr. Morita. We were charged $1,550 for the 1 appointment. This is completely unexpected and an exorbitant amount to pay for an appointment lasting less than 30 minutes. If I had know, I never would have gone to her. There are other pediatric neurologist that charge far less money!! BEWARE!!

Friendly but incredibly overpriced
My daughter was referred to Dr Morita. We didn’t think my daughter was having neurological issues but wanted to rule out a possible cause of her symptoms. Dr Morita performed some basic tests in her office, spent maybe 10-15 minutes with her and found nothing wrong. I was happy about that and left the office only to receive a bill for $1139.00 for the simple office visit. We have great insurance which cut it down to $432 (going toward deductible) but really? You’re going to charge $1139 for a simple, 10 min office visit? Pretty disgusting if you ask me. Nice lady, and seems knowledgeable but NO WAY would I recommend anyone going to see her at that price.

Great neurologist. Very helpful
We have appreciated the care we have gotten from Dr Morita with my daughters health. She is very quick to respond to concerns and questions. She is also very friendly and my daughter is very comfortable around her.

Doctor Morita DOES NOT take the time to answer questions. My son has had 2 visits with her, totalling less than 10 minutes. I'm not being dramatic either. Both appointments were less than 5 minutes each. And it doesn't stop her greedy practice from charging over $1000 each time too. Our initial "consult" cost $1,015 and all she said was let's do an MRI to see what's causing your son's symptoms. No joke, that was the visit. So after the MRI, instead of calling me to give me the result, I HAVE to schedule an appointment so she can get paid of course. Again, in less than 5 minutes, she goes "your son has 'these 2 extremely rare conditions', so do you have any questions". So me, in my complete and total shock, try to come up with what questions I can in my extreme rush. Now mind you, I'm shook and can't think of much, especially since she didn't even attempt to explain what either condition meant. We left, with no plan of care, no explanations, nothing.

We had an absolutely terrible experience when we arrived exactly 7 min late due to them not communicating with us that they moved their practice to an entirely different city and Dr. Moritta said they could only see one of my special needs sons for their dual appointment and the other they would be turning away due to tardiness. Even though they shared an appt and it takes maybe 2-5 more min to see them both. They were rude, offensive and spent infinitely more time arguing with us on why they wouldn't see both my severely handicapped children than just keeping appt. She saw them both after stating "I'll haveto go tell the next patient they will need to wait because we are accommodating you". 7 min late due to their negligence and we were treated terribly. This was simply a yearly follow up, all we needed was for her to glance at them, we didn't have any new issues or questions, she simply needed to look at them. We have seen many many physicians and have never been treated this way.

We have been working with dr Morita for about 3 years now and she is just amazing. The first time we made an appt she was booked out 3 weeks which was totally understandable. My daughter had a seizure that weekend so we went to primary’s where we had an eeg and mri down and the next day dr Moritas office called and got my daughter in that day! We are so grateful for how she listens to our concerns and allows us to be part of the treatment decisions!

Loved having her as a doctor for my son. She answered all our questions and i was even able to get in touch with her on the weekend when my son had an episode. I highly recommend her to everyone.

My children have a history of epilepsy. Dr. Morita has gone out of her way to help care for them, even calling at home to help check up and adjust medications. Her staff is also amazing at making room for emergency appointments.
