Insurances accepted
Baylor Scott & White has established agreements with several types of insurance to ensure your health needs are covered.
Insurance listings are subject to change without prior notice.
Please call your physician's office or your health or insurance plan to verify coverage information prior to scheduling your visit or procedure.

Independent providers (which could include, for example only, anesthesiologists, radiologists, pathologists, emergency medicine physicians, advance practice professionals, and other independent providers of health care services) may deliver part of your care, and such providers may be considered out-of-network on your health and insurance plans even if the Facility may be considered in network. If you desire additional information as to the providers who may be involved in providing your care, you can either ask your treating provider (who may know some of the specialists or groups who could be involved) or you can request a list of Facility-based physician groups by calling the following toll free number: (877) 810-0372. This list is updated annually and is subject to change without prior notice.

Overview of patient comments
Summary created using AI
Patient comments are gathered from our Press Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey and are displayed in their entirety. Patients are de-identified for confidentiality and patient privacy.
Patients appreciate
The overwhelming majority of patients praise Dr. Brent Morgan for his knowledge, surgical skill, and thorough communication style. Many reviewers highlight that he takes time to explain diagnoses, treatment options, and procedures in an easy-to-understand way, often noting that he doesn't rush to recommend surgery and instead discusses conservative, non-surgical options first. Patients frequently describe him as attentive, honest, and a good listener who addresses their concerns and those of their family members. Numerous reviewers credit him with successful surgical outcomes, with several saying he is the reason they are walking or have regained quality of life, and many specifically commend his surgical expertise alongside a caring, professional bedside manner.
Patients also share
A smaller number of reviews point to inconsistency in communication and time spent with patients as areas for improvement. A few reviewers described visits as rushed, including one who noted a visit lasted only about two minutes and felt Dr. Morgan seemed uninterested. Another patient specifically felt he was "a very poor communicator" despite acknowledging his surgical skill, and one other review mentioned he seemed "too tired to bother," though still achieved good results. A couple of additional comments noted that while he is knowledgeable, he doesn't always fully alleviate patient fears or explain things in a way that provides emotional reassurance.
