      Dr Morehead is the epitome of what a medical professional should be. She listens, she partners with me on my treatment, she seems to genuinely care.

      I feel like you may not take the "very good" rating seriously enough. Dr Morehead is utterly phenomenal as a doctor and care provider. She listened to all my issues related to my difficult months long prep for surgery, informed me of how we would probably proceed with my treatment plan once I could get back on my medications, and she noted my weight gain. She informed me that certain GLP-1s have an anti-inflammatory effect for RA patients and that may help us with my treatment plan in the future if I was interested in that path (she also knows I have myalgic encephalomyelitis which is also inflammatory and prevents me from being able to exercise-she has really done her research on this disease!). She offered to write a letter to my PCP about the GLP-1 and she apparently did it that day! I'm so impressed with Dr Morehead and I feel so fortunate to have found her! My health really turned around when she became my RA doctor.

      Dr. Morehead has been wonderful. It has not been an easy fix for me. But she has always been informative, optimistic, and has listened to my concerns. We have worked together to find the right solution for my issues. I appreciate her very much.

      Very pleased with the Doctor she was friendly & put me at ease during exam and questions.

    Please check with your health insurance plan regarding coverage for this type of care. Not all providers at UCSF Health are covered by every insurance plan.
