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.

WONDERFUL!!
There is absolutely no bad words to say! Dr. Morton and his team are absolutely wonderful! During my surgery when I had miscarried my son, he kept my family updated the entire time and was very caring and sensitive with the situation. I decided to switch and have him be my gyno and that was the best decision I ever made! Him and his team have been working with me all year with medication and IUI’s trying to give my husband and I the family we’ve been hoping and praying for. We did get pregnant a few months back, but unfortunately that was a chemical pregnancy. He has done nothing but be a tremendous doctor and give me positive and encouraging words. Super sad that he’s retiring! Going to miss him! If he were to ever decide to come back, I’d definitely want him as my doctor again! Thank you for always doing your best! You’re going to be missed!

Nurse/MA was very personable. Dr Morton is always great. Takes his time to talk and explain, even if it’s not gyno related. Cares about his patients and the hospital.

Intentional and purposeful
I have been a patient of Dr. Morton’s for 17 years and he has always been very purposeful and intentional with me and my healthcare. Dr Morton never rushes but sits down in a relaxed manner and discusses my current health and life situations. This gives me confidence that he is genuinely concerned for my well-being.

The best by far!!
With our first baby, I delivered at 27 weeks due to serve preeclampsia. Dr. Morton not only saved my life but my daughters. With my 2nd pregnancy I had chronic hypertension which made me high risk, Dr. Morton always sat and answered my husband and I questions and concerns. He took his time with each appointment to ensure we were all on the same page and he always had a plan. He took his time to really know us and always made us feel heard. He got me to 37 weeks with a healthy 8lb 10oz baby!! I can’t thank him enough for everything. He is truly amazing at what he does.

You won’t be disappointed
Dr. Morton is all about patient care and making sure you are comfortable and cared for. He is very compassionate at making sure you receive the best care possible. I truly believe he is the best OB at SFMC. He listens, gives advice, and supports all your decisions. I have many great things to say about Doctor Morton, but to keep it short and simple, you won’t find a better OB.
