Dr. John C Morris Iii, MD

Very excellent, thorough doctor. Great bedside manner and passionate teacher.

Dr Morris is incredible if you’re looking for the most updated Thyca consult and follow up care. I’ll return to his care for every cancer reoccurrence if this is the case. I say this bc he’s very passionate about the most recent research that suggests surgery and RAI are not always the best option for care. He also supports frequent monitoring and surveillance for slow growing papillary cancer instead of scaring his patients into unnecessary surgery and nuclear medicine. He’s patient and encourages informed decisions without a rush. On the other hand, Unfortunately, Dr Morris, is not open to individualized treatment for hypothyroidism. He uses the bed so popular TSH and T4 to determine “normal” lab values, refusing to acknowledge the significance of of a full thyroid panel including T3 and RT3. He’s also committed to T4 only treatment, Levothyroxine, despite the overwhelming amount of research that suggests this is inadequate for many patients. Dr Morris is quick to dismiss… hypothyroidism symptoms as psycho somatic and “not related” to having no thyroid or hypothyroidism. Sadly, he refuses to acknowledge the tens of thousands of patients reporting continued hypothyroidism symptoms with T4 only treatment. On more than one occasion, he condescendingly laughed at myself and patients that are online seeking answers, our lives back, and proper health care. He said, “people online are not typically unhappy people looking for anyone to validate their experience as thyroid related...when in fact it’s all coincidental, hormones, and natural aging.” I was in the best health of my life before my thyroidectomy. Almost immediately after my surgery, I was dealing with a laundry list of symptoms of I had never dealt with before. Despite adverse reactions from levothyroxine and a significant decrease in the quality of my life, he refused to consider other treatment options for me. He also referred me to Psych, neuro, etc. In order for me to try a combination of T4 and T3 prescriptions and or NDT (natural desiccated thyroid) treatments, which are FDA approved without constant recalls, I had find treatment else where. I continue to see Dr Morris for cancer care. He also permits me to stay on NDT, but disagrees with my choice of treatment. If and when I’m symptomatic, thus far, I still have to seek dosage support from another doctor.

He is willing to do his work for us patients and my family...

Dr. Morris listened intently to my story and took the time to explain anything and everything I put before him. His follow up once I returned to NJ was impeccable. Quite frankly, they don't make doctors like him anymore. He needs to be teaching other doctors that it is about the care, concern, TIME and expertise you give your patient. May God bless Dr. Morris.

Dr. Morris takes the time to listen to his patients and make a correct diagnosis. I am willing to spend the money to make the trip to Mayo Clinic each year to make sure I am able to see Dr. Morris for my follow up appointments. Dr. Morris literally saved my life. My family and I are forever grateful that I decided to visit Mayo and see Dr. Morris.

Dr. Morris is the most caring and compassionate endocrinologist. He listens to what you tell him and is very much interested in getting an answer to your health problems. He is the best of the best and definitely exemplifies Mayo Clinic's philosophy that the needs of the patient comes first.
