ABOUT ME
Dr. Morris says, “I enjoy being able to alleviate a patients discomfort almost instantly. I also enjoy easing a patient’s anxiety about dental work by making the process as easy as possible.”
“I had my own experience needing several crowns and my dentist made the process very easy for me. It gave me an appreciation for those who had a more gentle touch in an otherwise difficult situation. I thought his chair-side manner was amazing. I knew then I wanted to be in that profession!”
After graduating from Indiana University with a B.S. in Biology and a B.S. in Microbiology, Dr. Morris received his dental degree from the University of Louisville School of Dentistry.
Dr. Morris says, “I love music and concerts and I’m a huge movie buff. I also love traveling the world and seeing new places and cultures. One of my favorite trips was when I went to Honduras as part of Global Health Outreach and performed dentistry in a rural area where people had very little access to care.”
