His expertise in cardiac surgery and valve repair or replacement is highly regarded by patients.
I had attended Epworth Hospital for an Angiogram with Dr Martin Hiscock at 8.30 a.m. on Thurssday, 27 April 2023. The angiogram recorded an almost total blockage of the Left Anterior Descending Coronary Artery, close to the junction with the Aorta. Without any hesitation Martin Hiscock arranged immediate openheart surgery with Dr Simon Morton as soon as possible, which took place later the same day.. Dr Morton performed five bypass grafts into the coronary artery, which have proved to be proved to be completely successful. He has saved the life of Bill M, for which we are extremely grateful.
I found Simon explained things clearly in a way that was understandable. His bed side was unusually good and relaxed which is unusual for Doctors. I enjoyed his humour
very professional excellent cardiac surgeon doesn’t discharge patient from hospital unless he/she is ready explains the procedure you are having thoroughly, so you understand what will happen
gave all information required and great follow up after operation.
I thought that Simon Moten's surgery was excellent and I feel fortunate that I have recovered so well from the procedure.
Mr Motens professionalism, manner and follow up was exemplary. I could not be more pleased with the final result.
Mr Moten is a highly experienced, patient and deeply emphatic individual who has provided exceptional care and support to myself and my family for many years. I will always appreciate his care and would recommend him to anyone seeking the best professional there is in cardio-thoracic medicine.
Excellent, felt reassured, explained things clearly and know my heart isi in the best hands possible
