Patient Rating
Patients consistently praise Dr. Morrell for his expertise, thorough preparation, and clear explanations of test results and treatment options. Many comments highlight his strong communication, attentive listening, compassionate bedside manner, and willingness to spend time answering questions as part of a cohesive lung transplant team. Feedback is overwhelmingly positive, though a small number of patients expressed a desire for more shared decision-making in specific situations.

The patient rating score is an average of all responses on our patient experience survey. The rating averages scores for all questions about care from our providers. The scale on which responses are measured is 1 to 5 with 5 being the best score.
Patient comments are gathered from our patient experience survey and displayed in their entirety. For the convenience of our visitors, some patient comments have been translated from their original language into English while preserving their original meaning as accurately as possible. Patients are de-identified for confidentiality and patient privacy.

I recommend to all, to follow through with Dr. Morrell's advice and expertise.
Dr. Morrell is personable and showed a positive and caring attitude towards me as a patients. Also he made the conversation about my condition and treatment clear and easy to understand.
The doctor is good, he listens to you, he's patient, he explains your illness, what they're going to do, and he gives you confidence and peace of mind. [TRANSLATED]
You need people like him good matters he works hard to make sure you get the help you need
Always pleasant and professional
He was very understanding off my needs even though at this time Im not a candidate.
Dr.Morrell is a Amazing.my dad recently had a lung transplant,his doing vary fantastic and all credit goes to the whole team of lung specialist's.
Very helpful I explaining
Nothing but the highest praise!
Dr Morrell and the Lung transplant team are the best ever. They speak with one voice and listen very well. I am so glad I was able to get a referral and a double lung transplant in 2023. Best care I have ever had.
I have never had better care or have felt more comfortable in my health care experience than with Dr. Morrell and the entire Lung Transplant Team.
Great sense of patient chemistry fantastic sense of humor and dedication
Dr Mathew Morrell was very reassuring about questions he answered and is very knowledgeable .I am excited to have met him and have a great deal of confidence in him
Dr Morrell was very courteous. He listened to our concerns and answered our questions.
Dr. Morrell has been very Professional, positive/upbeat, but also realistic, which I really appreciate. He listens to my concerns and addresses them. Always a pleasure to see! Thank you!
Well, hopefully they won't be in the position I was in, requiring Dr Morrell's services. But if they should need his services they couldn't do better than Dr Morrell. He is attentive, sensitive, understanding as well as extremely knowledgeable. We trust him completely.
He is excellent. Er is horrible
Dr Morrell listens to me , even when it's not his expertise. Great communication
He has been a great help with understanding what was going on and what to expect.
Was a very encouraging visit. Thanks
Dr. Morrell's consistent and thorough care comes from knowledge, experience, and genuine concern for his patients. I am grateful he is my doctor.
Dr Morrell is a fantastic doctor. Not only is he a great practitioner and administrator, he's totally normal. That's a hard combo to find in the medical field. He is very caring and concerned for his patients. All of us are lucky to have him for a physician.
He treats every patient as if you were his only patient
Doctor Morrell is a remarkable physician. Thorough, and understanding of an individual's needs. He has always taken time to answer my questions and he emphasizes with the struggles that comes with lung transplant. He is not intimidating at all, quite the opposite. When you meet with Doctor Morrell it is like meeting with a long time friend.
He help me understand everything I needed to know to make a decision.
Felt extremely comfortable with my video appointment with Dr. Morrell. Very polite Dr. and took the time to make positively sure I understood the procedures that might be available for my condition.
Dr Morrell projected the seriousness of the entire transplant process. All information was given with nothing left unsaid. The patient would be watched before the transplant and for months following. The take away was that they set you up for success, and do everything they can to insure you are taken care of every step of the way. He truly seemed to care.
Dr Morrell, you're the best!!
He was wonderful and kind and very informative with everything.
He is always helpful and very good explaining anything you want to know
He is very good about explaining what might happen and expect.
excellent doctor, very caring and helpful
Dr. Morrell was wonderful and very thorough at checking me because I had a lung transplant. He was willing to run tests on me that a regular doctor probably wouldn't do!!!
