Dr. Targhee James Morris, MD

Failed to discover prostate cancer. Cancer eventually caused kidney failure, which has ended in dialysis and permanent catheter. Before being discovered by a DIFFERENT DOCTOR, cancer had spread throughout pelvis and to lungs. All of this could have been avoided had Dr Morris done a simple blood test instead of unnecessary money-making surgeries. Now quality and length of life have been severely diminished. My advice? RUN to a different urologist!

I have seen Dr Morris for a number of years and he has always been responsive and helpful and concerned. He allowed my wife to be with me during all of my procedures. He has explained everything to our satisfaction.

Very responsive to my care. Had problems at night on a weekend when doctor Morris was out of the country , He made sure the nurses and another doctor took very good care of me!!! Several calls to them in the middle of the night. Would highly recommend his treatment.

If you are making this choice as a couple and it’s important that you do this together please don’t go to him! Horrible communication! I have yet to find a doctor or friend that didn’t allow a loved one in the room if the patient wanted them there. To begin, my husband called to set up the appointment in Draper and wanted me to be there so he asked for the times and said “I want my wife there so let me call you back so I can check her schedule” (he should have been informed at that moment that I wasn’t allowed in the room during the procedure). He called them back to set the date believing it was the Draper office as that’s what he had said he wanted. The day before the appointment we find out that it’s in Spanish Fork, super inconvenient but fine we go. For both of us it was very important that we did it together as we together had made this choice for our family. Not until moments before the procedure were we told I had to leave the room and I was not allowed to be there. Yes, we… should have had our wits about us to just leave and we wish now that we did. My husband’s incision was taking longer to heal than it should have so we had to go back in to make sure it was healing right. During that visit we told him how disappointing this entire procedure was. I explained that I had called other offices around the valley and couldn’t find another doctor that wouldn’t let a loved one in the room, in fact most of them thought it was strange that I wasn’t allowed in. He said that he didn’t care what these small doctors around the valley did. He was the best and he would only talk to his friends from around the world. I found this to be completely unprofessional and arrogant considering the ones here in the valley are his colleagues. He did say he would add something that night onto his website about not allowing a loved one in the room during the procedure. That was 2 weeks ago and still no change. As for the procedure itself it was just as described on his website so I am told. My husband had very little pain and recovery was easy. If you are single or it’s not a big deal for you as a couple if your spouse is there he might be a fine choice. However, for us it was incredibly important and we should have made a different choice as he is not the only one in the valley that does the no needle, no scalpel procedure.
