Excellent physician who understands your problem and works to solve it
Had shoulder pain and did PT for 6 sessions and it only got worse. Had MRI and thought I was heading for surgery. Dr Morse said my shoulder was frozen and needed to be free before surgery. He gave me 4 simple stretching exercises to do at home for 6 weeks. Was feeling much less pain and good range of motion after a month. Then he added 4 resistance band exercises. After 4 months I have no pain. I am doing things that I would never have expected to be able to do without surgery. Decided after most recent visit that he and I see no need for surgery.
Very helpful and a great surgeon.
He is a great person and a great doctor couldn’t ask for better
Dr. Morse is by far one of the greatest most professional surgeons that I’ve ever been seen by. Not only is his work very successful, but his demeanor in the office is fantastic as well.!! Thank you sir. Keep up the great work.
Excellent bedside manner, can relate to the normal person. Genuinely wants a good outcome for his patients. Great surgeon would recommend 10/10
He’s the best
thank you very much. Appreciate it for helping me out. I have a great deal of confidence in you. You help my wife out roughly 12 years ago when two other doctor said that she would just have to live with the pain thanks again my left knee is really great. My right knee is about 80% there so again I thank you your staff is excellent. And receptionist Donna is the best of all. I’ll talk to you later.
Dr Morse has been awesome to work with and did a great job in my shoulder.
