June 08, 2025SOUTH MAIN CLINICDr. Jose Morales Moreno is an exceptional physician. He has been my granddaughter doctor since she was just 3 months old. Rose has complex medical needs, including Level 3 non-verbal autism and cortical visual impairment (CVI), which require not only consistent care but also a provider who truly understands her unique challenges. The U of U South Main Clinic often serves as a teaching facility where many rotating doctors complete their internships. While we appreciate the learning environment, it became clear early on that Rose needed continuity in her care'someone she could build trust with over time and who would advocate for her best interests. Dr. Morales was the supervising doctor over many of the interns, but what set him apart was how he consistently took the time to personally check on Rose during every visit, even when he wasn't the primary provider that day.His dedication, compassion, & genuine concern for her well-being are what led us to request that he become her only Doc.

April 24, 2025SOUTH MAIN CLINICWe love Dr Moreno!! He is so patient and always listens to our needs. He addresses our concerns and provides explanations that put us at ease. He's very nice to speak with and talks to my child and includes him in the care. We will never see another provider unless he leaves and we never want that to happen!
