So informative, clear communicator, professional and kind
All because of Dr. Morrel
Martha Morrell is the best
Dr Morell is top notch!
Kind, extremely informative and professional, listens , respectful, collaborative with care team and patient, leaves patient with absolute confidence in her diagnostic discussion.
Loved it!
She is my favorite neurologist doctor in this world!!!
Dr. Morrell studies what my current seizure experiences have looked like since we last met. She has spent time researching potential improvements. She is currently able to study 6000 others with my seizures and she uses that knowledge to decide what she will do next. It is clear that she knows me. I sometimes expect her to tell me that my seizures will not get better in the future. She never says that. She uses her ever growing knowledge to keep improving my situation. I always feel amazed and very grateful.
She is amazing!! I love her! I am so grateful to her for everything!
Dr. Morrell is just the best. She is so smart, so professional, empathetic and understanding. She instills confidence, listens, and always has a plan. I wish all my doctors were like her.
Excelente

I always come away from my appointments with Dr. Morrell feeling good. There are a lot of reasons for this but to mention a couple: I feel like she knows me, wants to hear my thoughts, and plans to keep improving things for me. I do not feel that I am wasting her time. I feel that I am in good hands.
I always leave my appointments with Dr. Morrell feeling like we are a team.

She was very explanatory and down to earth on what need to be tested next before possible surgery to brain aneurysm.
Great.
Very good.
Enjoyed chatting about other things other than the medical condition.
