Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Saved me from unnecessary brain surgery, my hero! Highest recommendation.

Saw Doctor Morris this past summer. 6 months of tests and waiting for him to finally tell me he couldn't help me and I needed to go to Ortho. Waste of time. Slow at getting appointments and then slow to get back to me. His nurse never answers phone calls and never picks up the phone, so you wait.......

I was hoping to see Dr Morris, however, my only way of communicating with him was through a referral office. He made decisions without seeing me. My MRI was how he made his diagnosis, no exam no appointment. His referral office told me I could have a myelogram if “I” wanted which was too invasive for me not knowing what he was looking for and I couldn’t ask him medical questions. No other options were given to me, consequently, same pain different day. Would not recommend this doctor.

At 53 I thought I would have to suffer with pain in my hip joint forever, but with his expert back surgery and repair of the disc I no longer have the pain I had felt for over 30 years! I believe Dr. Morris solved more than one problem that day...he took away a hopeless feeling I had when I constantly had pain in my hip. I had a feeling of defeat to think my years of walking, riding a bike or even moving were limited. Well Dr. Morris had literally given back my health and my life!!! Thanks

Number one Neurosurgeon in my book. Once you are a patient of Dr Morrises, he takes your care very personal. He becomes your advocate and watches over you even if you are in the hospital seemingly unrelated to his speciality.
