Are you considering a consultation or a surgical procedure with Dr. Morris, but are wondering why you should travel an hour or more to get to our office in Birmingham or Midland , MI?

 

Patients from 34 different states9 different countries, as well as over 2400 Michigan patients from well over an hour away from us, have answered that question for themselves!

But let us tell you this first, especially if you are not sure if we are worth the drive: give us a chance to convince you by taking advantage of our detailed educational approach, and permit us to provide you with our  "Honest Answers about Cosmetic Procedures" Booklet

This may be downloaded or mailed to you free of charge.  It is vitally important for you to get all of the facts and honest information about the procedure(s) you are considering, even if you ultimately do not choose Dr. Morris as your surgeon.

 

Six Reasons To Come And See Us: 

Convenience, Trust, Affordability, Education, Safety And Experience

 

1.  Convenience:  We provide excellent hotel accommodations for you, free of charge.  If you are traveling from more than 60 miles away, if you desire, you will receive one night accommodations in a great full-service hotel.  This will be a standard room and additional nights are available for a very attractive price.  If you have a surgical procedure performed by Dr. Morris, you will receive a suite for one night with additional nights also available at a significant discount. You can make either event a mini-vacation.     

 

2. Trust: More than 2400 patients from the State of Michigan, from greater than 60 miles from our offices (some traveling hundreds of miles), have decided to come to us for a consultations and surgical procedures … even though there are many Plastic Surgeons in their area.  Granted, that is only 10% of our patient base, but the overwhelming majority of those patients have not come because we advertise in their area, but because they were referred by friends or family.  In fact, even though we advertise heavily, the overwhelming majority of our consultations were referred to us by prior patients or by doctors (and their wives who come to Dr. Morris) or nurses (who see Dr. Morris' work in the operating room).  

 

3.  Affordability: Even though we are not the low-price provider in our region (remember, most often one gets what one pays for), or in Michigan , we have a multitude of patients that come to us, because we are able to help them finance the procedures with a low monthly payment. The best part is that we do the work for them to get their payment plan approved. Some patients have chosen us over other surgeons, and would rather pay a few dollars more a month over their second choice surgeon, just because of Dr. Morris' reputation. 

 

4.  Education: Dr. Morris and his staff realize that you are trying to decide if the procedure you are considering is worth the risk and expense. That is why we spend so much time with you, educating you about the procedure, and talking about your expectations - telling you exactly what to expect.  Dr. Morris gives you an honest assessment if surgery is the best option for you, or, if a non-surgical approach may be your best option.  We also can give you the reassurance of talking to our former patients who have volunteered to speak with you about their experiences with the procedure you are considering.  This will give you a patient's perspective on the entire surgical experience.  Also you can view hundreds of photos of Dr. Morris' work, in the office, during your consultation.  

 

5.  Safety: MidMichigan Medical Center-Midland has made Dr. Morris the Medical Director of Cosmetic Surgery. He performs over 90% of the cosmetic surgery performed at the Medical Center , which is ranked in the top 5% of the Nation's Hospitals for safety and outcomes. The Cosmetic Surgery facilities and service at MidMichigan Medical Center-Midland have been specially designed with a hotel-like atmosphere and attitude, but with the safety and quality that only a hospital can provide.  The unit offers the comfort and amenities of a "high-end" private surgery center but with the safety, sub-specialties, and back-up that only a hospital can provide.  There is an unmatched emphasis on your privacy.  

 

6.  Experience:  You should be sure that the surgeon you go to is really an experienced and certified Plastic Surgeon … with plastic surgery being so affordable … many dentists, eye doctors and general surgeons and family doctors have chosen to offer cosmetic surgery services. There are many novice surgeons entering the market today. Some even advertise based on their price being lower. Dr. Morris completed his general and plastic surgery residencies at the world famous Mayo Clinic, and is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, the only board that is recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties to certify Plastic Surgeons.  Would you really want to make your future dependent on a difference of traveling a couple of hours?  Dr. Morris was chosen to be on the advisory board of understandplasticsurgery.com.  Dr. Morris is one of only 56 surgeons nationwide that was chosen to be an investigator for Inamed Corporation's Style 410 (Cohesive Gel) Silicone Implants, and currently has one of the largest number of patients entered into the study.   

 

 

 

 

 

 

Patient Testimonials

  • ''I have been thoroughly impressed with this office and the staff. I would recommend Dr. Morris's practice any day!  When I went into the office, I felt somewhat ashamed for even being there - looking into plastic surgery. When I left, I felt 'normal' after talking to all the women on staff. They made me realize that I am 'ok' for wanting to improve my body.''  
  • ''I appreciated the 'discreet' mailing of information. (I didn't want my husband to know I was interested in enhancing my appearance.) Appointment time was very prompt. Staff is very accommodating combining different procedures for the same day. (It takes an hour for me to drive to your office, so I really appreciate the convenience of multiple procedures being scheduled the same day.)''    
  • ''You have to trust your Doctor. It's comforting to know they are reputable. I enjoyed reading the history of the Doctor and the Plastic Surgery Institute in the very informative brochure I received from you office. When I called for the appointment, the staff member I spoke with said she had the same procedure done and was very happy with it. It gave me some 'peace of mind' and made me look forward to my appointment.''    
  • ''All of your staff was very friendly and honest. I came in feeling like I needed a few cosmetic procedures. Instead of your staff agreeing with me and taking my money, they told me that the surgeries I wanted would produce very minimal results but would be very expensive. I was informed of much less expensive, non-surgical options that would be more beneficial to me...he was actually more honest to me than expected. He could have just tried to make as much money off of me as he could, but he did the exact opposite and made very little money off of me.''
