I was charged for an hour long visit in which Dr. Aja Morningstar simply gave me a book recommendation and I was told to come back for a physical so she could charge my insurance once more. Her office staff left a message saying that my husband's labs were all normal when in fact multiple labs were out of range. I have never seen such expensive negligence in my life. Don't be fooled by the serene decor--this is just another crooked doctor's office. read more

AVOID INCOMPETENCE! If you're expecting competent and professional care do all you can to avoid MorningStar Healing Arts. My mother needed an urgent cancer biopsy. After Dr. Aja Morningstar agreed to accept her as a new patient I explained this to her. We trusted her office assistant (her name is pronounced "Ja-Knight") to get the information Dr. Morningstar's office is supposed to relay to Assante Hospital's Interventional Radiology Dept. (I.R.) so we could have the biopsy done that had been scheduled. The day Before the appointment Assante's I.R. Dept. called us to cancel the appointment because Dr. Morningstar's office - Jiknight specifically - who was responsible for providing I.R. an updated order with an authentication code (and other info.) FAILED to do so. I spoke to two employees at Assante's I.R. department, Colleen and Beth who informed me that after repeated efforts they had been unable to obtain a proper "Updated Order with authentication code" and that is the reason my mom's appointment was cancelled. Instead of correcting her employee, apologizing to us and immediately correcting the matter Aja felt I needed a lecture about how my "Expectations of how the medical profession operated differed from reality" instead of an apology for her employee's negligence in handling the matter. Aja would not let me get a word in edgewise so she could rush to her pre-scripted Big Finale: "So you'll have to find yourself another Dr.". Had she done so I would have told her to stop trying to cover-up her employee's negligent handling of the matter and actually help get the mess her office created fixed. Apparently, Dr, Aja Morningstar was more concerned with covering potential liability instead of being concerned about the wellbeing of my 84 year old mother-with possible cancer. They could of - at minimum - told us they couldn't get the Updated Order and other info. to the I.R. Dept. before they let I.R. cancel the appointment. We could have rescheduled it. But, as I said supra, they were evidently more concerned with not looking negligent. AVOID INCOMPETENCE! read more

Me and my son had Aja for primary care. Aja went on meternity leave, and Howard (her dad) took over her patients care at that time. My son was going through a hardship at the time. During his first appointment with Howard morningstar, Howard was talking to ME, and I guess my TEENAGER unbeknownst to me, started messing around on his phone (shocking that a teenager would do such a thing right?!).. Dr morningstar noticed before I did, and found it appropriate to abruptly say something along the lines of: "does he usually just sit there on his phone when people are discussing him?" When I attempted to tell my son to please put his phone away, to which my son did, Dr morningstar felt the need to fire off again saying something like: "No that's ok, let him continue staring at his phone like no one is discussing him.. and we'll pretend like he's not here I guess". I attempted to apologize to Dr morningstar, but my apology went unacknowledged. I was left in disbelief. I understand Howard Morningstar prefering my son put his phone away, BUT the way he went about it was completely inappropriate and unprofessional. I was very reluctant to take my son back to Howard. I was relieved when Aja came back, and I made my sons next appointment with her.... But unfortunately it gets worse... Upon my son's first in-person appointment with Aja, she was talking to me, then out of the blue, she actually had the audacity to rudely ask me this: "does he (referring to my son) always just sit there and stare?" I probably had a look of disbelief on my face, because she quickly dismissed her snotty remark and moved on. And Keep in mind this is a kid going through a hard time as it is, then to have "doctors" treat him like this at his appointments.... I have no words for how low they are! It's not right. I wish very badly I would have just took my kid and walked out!. I could say more about some other unfavorable things I encountered with them, but they are minor details in comparison to the bigger picture. So I feel I have said enough. I hope that by making this review I save another parent/child from having to go through such an utterly disgusting experience as the one we had with these people.. read more

OVER-THE-TOP in EVERY way! From easy/free parking, exquisite architecture, never kept waiting, immaculately clean, staff like Family, FULL services, accepts insurance, .... shall I go on? Why not. The extraordinary personal care, time allotted & professional knowledge without over-treatment is SO rare this day-n-age, Morningstar Healing Arts is exactly that, an Artform, when most others are rule-book businesses. I feel better the moment I walk in d'door. If I need hi-tech? They got it. If a natural/wholistic treatment can work? They can do that too. This health team & sanctuary is a priceless treasure. Nuff sed. GML read more

I just went to Morningstar Healing Arts on the recommendation of a friend. I was looking to see if they were taking new patients and if they accepted my insurance. It is not easy to find the entrance and the front desk person came outside to ask if I needed help. I explained why I was there, but was made to feel so unwelcome but a flurry of insensitive questions and a message to call back later. I will not be calling back later. You really can't claim to be a healer if you treat people this poorly on the arrival at your front door. read more

I have been treated by Morningstar Healing Arts for over 20 years. The office staff is invariably super friendly and totally helpful. Each member of the staff makes you feel that they care for you and your health, personally. Dr. Howard Morningstar himself is personable, spends the time he really feels you need with him (as opposed to what little he might be able to get away with), explains his observations and treatment suggestions thoroughly and clearly, and treats his patients as friends, not "clients". He will not race to prescribe or unnecessarily call for use of pharmaceuticals if he feels a wholistic, non-drugstore approach may be just as, or even more, effective. As well, he will not shy away from allopathic medical methods or medicines if he feels they would be most effective. So this is a place where balanced healing approaches are practiced. MHA has kept me healthy for nearly a quarter of a century. I found a health gold mine when I found Morningstar Healing Arts. read more
