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.

A great physician
Dr. Morrissey is a phenomenal physician and individual. Because of numerous health issues these last few years, I've had to consult with several doctors. None have treated me with such professionalism, dignity, and respect. He's both an outstanding doctor and a wonderful person.

Caring and gentle
I saw Dr. Morrissey after experiencing an inner ear injury. He was compassionate and listened carefully, gently removed ear wax, and was interested in hearing my family's complicated hearing history. I like that he presented options to me. I highly recommend him.

I'm grateful to Dr. Morrissey and his office for my successful septoplasty surgery. All the way through I felt at ease, well taken care of and felt treated like a human. I can't imagine this procedure going more smoothly, on all fronts. Highly recommended!

Highly recommend...professional and caring. I had a severe ear infection which ruptured my eardrum resulting in hearing loss. Dr. Morrissey dealt with the infection and performed surgery to repair the eardrum. I recovered quickly, the eardrum healed and my hearing is back to normal. Very pleased.

Dr. Morrissey and his staff are AMAZING! If anyone out there has a little kiddo (or not) that is in need of an ENT doctor, I recommend you see Dr. Morrissey. They were extremely knowledgeable and you can tell they love what they do. From the initial appointment/consultation, to the actual Ear Tube surgery and then post op appointment, they made it a stress free process. Also, they are very flexible and were able to get our appointments in, when we needed them! They definitely took care of my son and I am one happy Momma!

Dr. Morrissey treated my husband for a voice disorder. He is a caring and extremely talented doctor. We could not have asked for a better experience. He worked hard to get my husband in for his procedure 24 hours after the condition was diagnosed. He was so kind both before and after the procedure with our family and with my husband during recovery. I highly recommend both Dr. Morrissey and Boulder Valley ENT.

My experience with Dr. Morrissey and the staff was great! He took time to listen to my health history related to my current reason for visit, did a pleasant exam, offered helpful suggestions, and confirmed results on a scan I brought in as a non-issue. He’s kind, friendly, and a pleasure to work with.

Professional, caring, highly skilled. I produced award medical productions for most of professional career. I had the opportunity spend time and talk with medical professionals from many specialties. One morning, I woke up with no hearing in one ear. Dr. Morrissey saw same the day and treated me with a high level of medical knowledge and skill. He took the time needed to explain why I lost to my hearing and a treatment plan. He was able to restore my hearing.

I saw Dr. Morrissey for a second opinion on an abscess in the rear of my sinuses because another ENT doc recommended sinus surgery. Dr. Morrissey spent a lot of time with my husband and me, patiently and pleasantly talking through his assessment of my CT scan, risks and options. We found the meeting caring and educational and appreciated his "bedside manner." His office staff were great to in scheduling, efficiency, friendliness and caring.

Dr. Morrissey has treated me for both a perforated eardrum as well as correcting a significant deviated septum. He was extremely thorough both pre and post op and explained everything regarding my procedure in detail. I am extremely happy with my treatment and would definitely recommend Dr. Morrissey to anyone requiring an ENT physician!

I went to see Dr. Morrissey after 3 months of chronic sore throat, fatigue and generally feeling lousy, like I had a persistent bad cold. My primary care couldn't figure out why I was feeling so bad. Dr. Morrissey took one look at me and identified I had an infected cyst growing in my neck that was causing my symptoms. A few weeks later he removed it, and now, one month later, I feel like a new person. I can't thank him and his staff enough for giving me my energy back.

I have chronic sinus problems due to recurring polyps. After my move to Denver, I began seeing Dr. Morrissey and he planned a treatment that was a game changer. My quality of life has improved so much for the better. I am breathing well and have no chronic cough. I highly recommend Dr. Morrissey.

Dr. Morrissey was one of the best doctors I have ever encountered. My 3 year old daughter was having problems sleeping and Dr. Morrissey determined that she needed a tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy. He was really great with my daughter who does not like going to the doctor. He made her feel very comfortable. The surgery and recovery went great. Dr. Morrissey has great bedside manners and even called the next day to check up on my daughter. I would highly recommend Dr. Morrissey.

I was instantly comfortable with Dr. M & his friendly staff. His knowledge, professionalism & calm demeanor was reassuring. I had surgery for deviated septum, polyps & sinuses. Recovery was pleasant & pain free. My post-op was 4 days later. He monitored my progress & made sure that I had a successful recovery. Thanks to Dr. M, I am breathing, sleeping, & living better. I truly believe it’s because of the expert care I received. I highly recommend Dr. Morrissey for any procedure you may need!

I've been suffering from a perplexing sinus issue for the last several months, and have been disregarded by other professionals. Dr. Morrissey spent an hour with me today, expressing compassion and a genuine concern for figuring out what is wrong. It's amazing how having a professional in your corner can give you peace of mind, regardless of the potential seriousness of your ailment. I can't recommend him enough.

Incredible experience. I cannot recommend Dr. M and his staff enough. I had a severe double deviated septum of which has increasingly caused issues over the years. Dr. M. was the 5th doctor I visited for a consult. His consult alone stood well above the others. I felt very safe, comfortable and confident choosing him as my surgeon. My surgery went very well. I am ecstatic about the recovery (wasn't as bad as I had thought) and the results are above and beyond what I had expected. Thank you!
