Care Philosophy: Dr. Morrison works hard to have patients get through their procedures with as little discomfort and as little side effects as possible. When he sees the gratitude of the patients family, it really makes the extra effort worthwhile.

Care Philosophy: Compassion is a big part of health care. It shows the ability to understand where patients are coming from and to be able to treat the entire patient - their spiritual base, their physical base, and take care of their ailment in the process.

Care Philosophy: Treat patient like family. First do no harm. Knowledge acquired should be passed on to the next generation of doctors. I am blessed to have the opportunity to save someone else's life. That's my drive to go to work everyday. Hope to drive the care of most patients if not all towards minimally invasive cardiac and vascular surgery
