    About our process
    Sep 20, 2024
    I appreciated that she made the effort to get me in sooner than the next available appointment to discuss next steps in my care. I also appreciated that she did not rush me and took her time to really address I'll of my concerns. I liked that she validated me and made sure that she understood where I was coming from with my questions and concerns. The only feedback I have is to more throughly explain the thought processes around why certain treatment options are proposed without having the patient prompt those explanations first. That way, the patient will feel more empowered regarding what options they should choose to help further their treatment.

    Dr. Morehead is a good care provider. She is a person of few words, but steers me in the right direction for my rheumatoid problems. I have always appreciated her advice and help.

    I appreciated that she asked me if I had any questions after going through what she thinks will be best to treat my issue however a more thorough explanation of the benefits and risks of the medication she prescribed would've been nice. Also, I would've like a more through examination in regards to lifestyle/diet decisions that may have led to my issue.

    Dr. Morehead has always been caring and helpful. Glad to recommend, but the subject doesn't often come up in conversation.

    Dr Morehead and Fellow Dr Tao were tremendous! Caring, professional, clear communicators and gave me confidence that treatment going forward would have a great outcome.

    The care provider seems to be in a hurry all the time doesn't really explain your medical issues or your concerns. The care provider just gives you short answers.

    Discussed new problems and she suggested modifying medication and getting PT evaluation I agreed

    Care provider seems like doesn't have interest in their patient's health problems.

    Dr Morehead is great!

    Dr. Morehead always has my best interests in mind. She is a caring, supportive, knowledgeable provider.
    Jul 16, 2023
    I asked the doctor if I needed anything like x-rays or MRI and she told me she knows what she doing. She also told me to increase my medication but she didn't even give me new prescription . The doctor didn't even bother to examine me.
    Jun 04, 2023
    She left me with the impression that she would be better suited working in a research lab for her lack of personability and affability. She could also be a better listener as evidenced in the inaccuracy of her after-visit summery report.
    May 31, 2023
    Dr. Morehead was good and to the point!
    May 27, 2023
    She was very patient with me during this call. She was very patient with me!
    May 26, 2023
    She seemed very detached and curt. She was brief and did not ask a lot of questions or proactively address anything (eg I had to prompt her to tell me if my recent labs were ok or concerning).
    May 15, 2023
    She didn't seem interested. Physical exam was very surface level. Seemed like she didn't care very much.

    Good

    I trust Dr. Morehead's advice and opinions, and have been her patient for many years now. She is extremely knowledgeable, familiar with my arthritic condition, and makes professional decisions accordingly. --Her schedule In UCSF Rheumatology Dept. Is a busy one, and office visits with her are not lengthy, but appreciated, with patient directions carefully followed. ...I thank her for the time she spends with me.
    Mar 21, 2023
    Dr morehead was amazing. I'm feeling very fortunate to be under her care.
    Mar 21, 2023
    I did need to ask for clarity on possible causes of issues and next steps
    Mar 04, 2023
    Dr. Morehead is truly amazing. She asks me about my daughter who lost her husband to suicide last summer. I don't know if she understands how meaningful this really is, to know people do care about me and my family.
    Feb 25, 2023
    Very warm and caring, also provided just enough information without overwhelming me! Provided me with the big picture and the next and next next steps. Great!
    Feb 11, 2023
    I appreciated the time she spent and concern for my condition.
    Jan 28, 2023
    Don't feel rapport with MD.
    Jan 19, 2023
    All good
    Dec 22, 2022
    There's no point in recommending Dr. Morehead. Her practice is understaffed, she couldn't even accept my husband, a former patient. That's ridiculous!
    Nov 26, 2022
    Dr. Morehead has been my Rheumatoid Arthritis Doctor for a few years now, & she is a superb Physician. I have appreciated her care.
