The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends people be under pediatric care up to the age of 21. Pediatricians provide medical care to people ranging in age from newborns to young adults. They are trained to examine, diagnose, and treat children with a wide variety of injuries and illnesses through all their developmental stages, as they grow and mature. 

Happily married with a daughter, Dr. Morales loves to run, cook, read, and travel. Her and her family enjoy hiking, biking, and traveling. They are looking forward to living in the southeast and exploring all it has to offer.
