Anybody have first hand experience with Dr Morris ?

I have my first appointment with him next week

Any insight or other recommendations for others would be helpful

I live on the east coast (DC) but happy to travel if appropriate

Thx all

Is this a second opinion appointment? Johns Hopkins has an outpost right over at Sibley. I'm very happy with the staff and my treatment there. No experience at MSK.

I met with him last December. Very nice, he is very well informed. This is a list of his publications:

Thx

Did you end of using him as your primary MO?

[tango65 in reply to Longterm101]

No, I live in other State. I plan to use him as a consultant. It is OK with my local MO. PCA treatment can get nasty side effects and one needs a local doctor and hospital.

Understood

I meet him next Friday

Thx

Dr Morris is my husband's doctor and we couldn't be more impressed. You were going to a local urologist who was happy to handle my husband but when we found out he had a Gleason 10 we knew that we had to go to Memorial Sloan-Kettering and dr. Morris was highly recommended to us. Dr. Morris sent my husband for genetic mapping at the very beginning which showed nothing but then months and months later when chemo failed he's free did a biopsy this time on the pelvis which came back showing he has a rare mutation msh2 and he will start keytruda since zitiga also failed. I fear if my husband had stayed with his original doctor this very very important Discovery would have never been made. He is very kind very knowledgeable and tells you how it is. Please feel free to mention our names if you ever want. Any questions or concerns we are always here for you. Best of luck

He's been my oncologist for a long time. Great guy, knows his stuff and hates me. (See if anyone hates me then you know they're on the ball). Here is an old video on MSKcc with him.

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.

Did you continue to see Dr Morris since your last post? If so, do you feel positive about the experience?
