Dr. Richard Morrison, MD

Dr Morrison used his many gifts to help Dalton coordinate plans for our own Cardiac center. He brought a level of professionalism never seen before in Dalton. He was in Dalton from early 2020 until mid-2023; the pandemic years that were so difficult for us all. When it was determined that I had a birth defect in my aortic artery and also an aneurism in my aorta, I told Dr Morrison that God sent him to Dalton for me. At age of 70, it was my great privilege to assist with promotional efforts to introduce Dr Morrison to Dalton. A newspaper article with my story brought people who had never seen a cardiologist, in for initial testing. I did not know I had cardiac problems until my general practitioner recommended I go for testing. A few weeks later, I was having open-heart surgery and Dr Morrison was saving my life. Dr Morrison thanked me for my help in Dalton. I don’t have the words to say thank you to him. Dalton will always love Dr Morrison.

This surgeon is one of the best if not the best heart surgeon anywhere. He did my wife's homograft (replaced inflamed aorta and calcified aortic valve with human donor parts) and then came out and showed me pictures. I'm an engineer and he thought I would like to see them. I was moved to tears when I saw his work. He saved Kim's life and 8 years later she is still doing great!

Cannot say enough about Dr. Morrison. He performed my father - in - law's quadruple bypass surgery. Not knowing anything about him, I researched him online and I didn't see anything below a 5 star review! His knowledge and expertise far exceed anything or anyone our family has encountered. Meeting him in person, he speaks to everyone with courtesy and respect. He explains everything that he will do and what the expectations are before, during, and after surgery. His staff is phenomenal! My father - in - law is doing extremely well on day 5 after the surgery and we are so grateful and thankful for Dr. Morrison!!

Explained in detail the problem, the alternatives, the surgical procedures and process. Very competent, attentive, courteous, and willing to answer questions.

Dr. Morrison performed a caroided artery surgery a few years ago and I haven't felt better. He spent time covering all the procedures needed to remove the blockage. After the surgery, I felt great and without any complications. Each year I have an ultra-sound to assure there hasn't been any additional blockages . Thank you Dr. Morrison and your staff for making me feel comfortable through my entire medical procedures

He has done two triple bypass surgeries on me twenty years apart. He is the kindest and sweetest doctor and VERY skilled. Love him so much!

Dr. Morrison performed quad bypass surgery I am 70 . I was so surprised I didn’t have pain and did wonderful. Everyone was amazed at how well I did . I thank God and Dr Morrison for my great recovery . His staff and Erlanger were great !!! Most catering Dr I have ever meet .

On July 17, I will celebrate ten years of wonderful life since Dr. Morrison performed seven bypasses on my heart. I would not be here today except for him.

Outstanding surgeon and caring person that I owe my life to.

Excellent doctor. My husband had a quadruple bypass 2013. He had an arteriogram on Friday and Sunday at 7 AM he was having bypass surgery. Thank you Dr Morrison for caring and for your dedication.

Dr Morrison performed a quad bypass on me four years ago at Memorial. Excellent experience.

I am a heart patient, an understatement. Heart attack at 21. Perfect bp, weight etc. My maternal grandfather had a quadruple bypass at 41. My dad had a heart attack at 45. My ldl (bad) cholesterol was off the charts even with diet and meds. I’ve spent my adult life getting stents and going through the motions with very good doctors from very good hospitals. Dr. Morrison is the rare find that changed everything. He gives hope. We assembled a team and for the 1st time I’m hopeful.

Thank you Doctor Morrison and thank you PA Traci and PA Brittany for helping give me life for 11 extra years. If it wasn't for you I would not be here today. Not only are you my doctor all three became my friend. LIsa and I think the world of all of you guys. Very special people in our life.

I had the great privledge to meet Dr. Morrison shortly after having my heart attack. He had a magical way of bringing comfort and confidence during our pre op conference. I immediately felt assured that I was in good hands. My open heart surgery went very well and I was up and walking about the corridors of east Erlanger the day after surgery. I am continuing to make good progress and look forward to a full recovery soon. My gratitude to Dr Morrison can never be enough. Thank you Dr. and staff??

He is absolutely great. Knows what he is doing and makes sure his patients are well cared for. I had surgery in 2013. If I ever have to have heart surgery again, I pray he will be the one that will do it.

Dr Morrison is the most professional and skilled heart surgeon in the Southeast. He is innovative and knowledgeable in the latest methods and skills. His staff is highly qualified and execute the highest level of care to Dr. Morrison's patients. I am so grateful for his skills and for my successful recovery from Bypass Surgery in February 2017.

Best cardiac surgeon in town.
