My visit with Dr. Morrisett was everything to me. He was very caring, attentive and patient. I will recommend him to anyone in need of a great GI doctor!

No matter how good a doctor is or how personable, it’s unreasonable to ask a patient to wait 1-11/2 hours beyond the designated appointment time to see the doctor consistently. Though I’m 81, I have responsibilities to my work as well. Never think that I sit in a rocker all day dreaming about when the kids will call. My ministry is demanding, and I would not have it any other way. Therefore, there is no time to waste; it is too important. Patients first; patience within reason.
