Patients commend Dr. Kenneth Russell Morse for his exceptional professionalism, caring demeanor, and thorough explanations of medical procedures. They appreciate his ability to communicate in layman's terms, making them feel informed and comfortable, and many highlight positive surgical outcomes and the supportive nature of his staff. However, one negative review indicates a lack of consistency in Dr. Morse's communication regarding recovery times and a perceived dismissive attitude towards patient concerns. This review contrasts with the generally positive sentiment, suggesting a rare deviation from his usual attentive and knowledgeable care.

This is not my first time seeing Dr Morse, and as usual, he was pleasant, funny, and professional. The staff are all lovely, as well. I’ve already returned a couple of times, and will continue to do so. Thanks Dr Morse, and DEO staff!!

He was friendly, knowledgeable, and sympathetic. Qualities you don't see in Dr's anymore. I am having surgery and even with him being honest about the long recovery and expected pain level I am at ease because of his phenomenal bedside manner. He explained my MRI results and xrays in everyday language and talked to me not at me. 10/10 highly recommend!

Patiently explained the issue with my shoulder pain clearly and concisely and offered different treatment options along with what he thought would be best. Listened to my concerns and took those into account. He did a previous surgery on my other shoulder about 8 yrs ago and the outcome was exactly what I was looking for. We are trying a non surgical option on this shoulder and I appreciate that he didn’t just push me to just go the surgical route. His assistant Donna scheduled me right in and answered all my questions about insurance coverage. She is very knowledgeable, friendly and efficient.
