"Dr. Morton may be a great Dr. however, he is not a perople person. He always seems to be in a hurry to get out of the room. The total amount of time for most of the visits I have had with dr Morton has been with less than 5 minutes talking to him in the exam room. Although a nice quick visit can be great, a PCP is suppose to get the history of the patient, at least from intake forms. This does not happen. Twice he has tried to prescribe or suggest medications that are not bypass friendly. He is not bypass friendly himself nor is he open to discuss reconstructive surgery. I do not know if it was because of my insurance ( Soonercare) or because of his over all bedside manner. Even his staff is very stand offish about him."
"I was highly dissappointed in the visit. Not with Dr. Duus himself but rather his office staff anf policy. I was told that Dr. Duus does not accept any kind of insurance, so my cost was going to be out of pocket. this would have been nice to know before I paid my 75 for the consult. It would have also been nice to know when my PCP refered me as well. I think they both dropped the ball.
As for the office staff, the insurance person was too busy in an internet chat room on her comp to look up a rough estimate of how much I was going to need to have this done. She was very short with me. To this day I have not heard back from Dr. Duus' office about the cost of my surgery. I felt and still do feel that I havent heard anything back because the staff has automatically decided that I cannot afford the surgery since I have medicaid for insurance. Dr. Duus may very well be an excellent plastic surgeon. However, his office staff made me decide to look elsewhere and not finance my surgery with him.

I did get a call back finally from the office. The cost was a little better than 8k. The office decided that they would try to put it through on my insurance after I explained that I could buy a car for 8k. We will have to see how it goes. Will update soon."
"Other than the poor parking and the distances, this hospital was top notch. Even with it being a teaching hospital, it was still excellent care. The cafeteria is overpriced."
"Although I was her first bariatric consult, she was very attentive and educated on the over mental health aspect. She is a resident there. I would highly reccomend her to anyone in the area. I was very pleased with her honesty and sincerity."
