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.

This is a follow-up to my previous review “Do not go to this arrogant man dated 06 Jun 2019”. Well the St Louis Surgeon corrected Dr. Morton’s previous surgery that had hip loosening. He found a way oversized hip joint and hip cup which probably contributed to my hip loosing that Dr Morton put in. He also, corrected my 21 MM oversized leg length that was left from Dr Morton’s surgery. LEARN FROM MY LESSON: Dr Morton cost me 20 months of my life by not doing the proper testing that would have easily stated that my hip surgery had loosened. Worst of all he made me live in pain by passing it off as my back. Furthermore, he was rude. Just FYI, he would not have even known how to fix my hip because he does not do hip revisions. YOU HAVE THE BEST ORTHOPEDIC Drs in the country just 30 miles away at Barnes Jewish. Learn from my lesson and go to the best do not risk your way of life going to Dr Morton unless you are good at Blackjack and don’t want to travel 30 miles.

Dr. Morton has been treating me for an arthritic knee. After he put gel in my right knee I had no pain for almost a year. He's an excellent doctor and very personable! I highly recommend him!

I would not recommend Dr. Morton to anyone. I had a total knee replacement in April of 2015, and I still cannot walk without assistance. After Dr. Morton completed my surgery, I could not extend my leg more than 60 degrees. Dr. Morton did not know what to do to correct the problem. I spent three weeks in rehab, and my leg never got any better. Dr. Morton was at a loss. He does not know how to correct any complications that occur after surgery. I had to have another Doctor fix my problem.
