Dr Morton was friendly and professional. He quickly put me at ease. I felt reassured that he asked me many questions about my current medical condition and past health history. He explained things to me in detail which was very helpful and asked my opinion. and then put forward a plan of action. I felt very positive after seeing him.

It was a pleasure meeting Dr Richard Morton who made me feel at ease from start to finish. His caring attitude was exemplary and he walked me through every aspect of my condition making sure my husband was involved with every part of our discussion.

I had more questions than I realised when I stepped into Dr Morton’s office. Questions he answered before I asked them but had a huge implications on my mental health. So my appointment was in equal measure to understand my new condition but also for my mental well-being and the thoughts I’ve been entertaining and future I’ve been picturing. He made it clear of what symptoms to look out for, but not obsessively. He took more time and I’m deeply thankful for every minute of it.

I visited Dr Morton recently for an initial consultation on a lung-related issue. He was very thorough and professional, explaining things to me clearly. He was also very personable and friendly, setting me at ease when I had to perform some difficult tests.

Dr Morton is outstanding. His expertise is very obvious and he provides very clear explanations of all tests and his diagnosis. He is very thorough and efficient. His bedside manner is excellent and the interest he takes in you makes it feel as if you are his only patient. He arranged tests for me within two days and reported the same evening so that I had the results to reassure me before embarking on a physically challenging holiday in Peru.
