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.

Greedy, greedy and greedy
Refuses to renew prescriptions for maintenance medications without forcing people to make appointments. This is not for narcotics or pain killers, but regulatory pharmaceuticals. The “appointment” consists of waiting around for extended periods of time for the “doctor” to ask 5-10 generic questions. There is hardly ever even an exam. Does not seem to realize that this why telemedicine was invented. He only wants you to come in so he can bill you and your insurance. Don’t get medical tests done at the office. They will literally charge you and your insurance 8-10 times what a medical lab would charge you for the same test. Apparently, the Hippocratic oath includes not only do no harm but also do nothing without gouging patients. The alleged doctor also knows very little. You would be far better served using diagnosing yourself. He is a “doctor” in name only. He is a greedy man gouging sick people who made the mistake of coming to him for help. Don”t do it - avoid!

Outstanding Doctor
Dr. Mike Morrow has been our doctor since 2003. We first met him when my brother was dying of organ failure in Evanston, Illinois. We drove to his office at the end of the day for the first appointment, after which he spent an extra half hour gently explaining what to expect and how to be supportive of my brother. Since that day, I have found him a careful listener as well as a doctor who explains clearly and answers my questions. He is willing to send me to a specialist whenever he feels it is necessary, and he works well with my team of doctors: two cardiologists, a urologist, a dermatologist, a spine specialist, a physical therapist, a neurologist, and several hospitals. I find Dr. Mike knowlegeable and professional, often having read and researched medical issues we have discussed. His staff is always cheerful and organized. I feel safe in his medical guidance, and the closing of St. Margaret's leaves me feeling desperate.

Dr. Morrow listens to you and takes his time. He doesn’t rush you. He doesn’t hesitate to refer you to a specialist or for any procedure that you might need. Doesn’t push pills and ignore the problem. He listens to you and doesn’t laugh at your stupid questions.

I have been a patient of Dr. Mike for about 10 years. He has failed to help me with my diabetes. All he wants to do is keep pushing pills instead of helping. I need shoulder surgery. He will not authorize the surgery or do anything to help alleviate the pain, but will dole out plenty of diabetes " medication" that doesn't help. Way to go mikey!!
