Patient Reviews
Aug 29, 2023
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.
