I came to Al Morgan, ND during a time of great distress to help me balance out some chronic dysfunctions in my body. These dysfunctions have been debilitating my life for over 15 years and continue to do so. After talking with me for 45 minutes or more I felt unheard as the doctor did not address my urgent complaints of abdominal pain, malnutrition and weight loss.
Instead he prescribed a food protein sensitivity saliva test without any other adjunctive therapy than to eat lots of protein and lots of brightly colored vegetables. The printed test instructions in the box did not match what he told me to eat. Nor did the handout instructions he gave me match the printed instructions in the box. After much confusion I called back and left a message that was returned in a day or two with instructions to eat all the common allergens in the standard American diet.
In my visit I had told the doctor I didn't really eat those because they make me very sick. A lot of other bad noise aside, I was informed that I did not test positive for any of the four protein sensitivities and that the doctor had absolutely nothing else to offer me.... That he wasn't sure what I wanted from him... Has he seen his own website and all of the different options there are two evaluate your health?
I remember being very clear that I'm in a lot of pain and nausea and I can't eat much and I'm week and have lost 30 pounds in the last six months. I need a new primary care physician to oversee the process of restoring balance and function to my body. Seems clear enough.
I feel Dr. Morgan's over casual manner missed the boat to facilitate my balanced health. Who sits in a lazy boy with their feet up doing an intake without ever physically assessing the patient? I would not recommend this doctor as he does not see the entire picture as a functional medicinist should and very easily lets his personal feelings get in the way of objective patient assessment and treatment.
I saw a functional medicinist five years ago that provided life-changing results and a great experience. But my symptoms eventually came back. I will continue to pursue better health else where read more
