Martin A Morse, MD FACS – The Great Falls Plastic Surgery Center

The greatest surgeon of all time can’t answer the phone… called, pressed «0» and it rings and rings… he maybe a great doctor but I’ll never know since there is no one there.

I was referred to Dr. Morse by another doctor during my instructional design career. At that time wrist sleeves on one or both of my hands, and holding the offending wrist straight up in the air for brief moments kept carpal tunnel symptoms in check, I thought.
THEN it began, the night-​time numbness and subsequent pain so severe, it either woke me up or prevented sleep 2 or more times a week. Useful daytime hours diminished monthly. I returned to Dr. Morse for HELP. He explained his success rate for patient relief for this kind of surgery was 90−95% dependent on the person and severity of the problem. My hope was that I had not delayed this needed surgery so long that the nerves in my hand would not properly revive – my surgery was scheduled for my convenience, February 13 but I cancelled due to the snow storm
I awoke from the re-​scheduled surgery February 13 (one week later) and felt the tips of my fingertips in the recovery room – I had forgotten what that felt like! Delay had not irreparably harmed the nerves in my hand. It is now late April, NO middle-​of-​the-​night wake-​ups, or pain since surgery. My hand FEELS wonderful!
THANK YOU, Dr. Morse.

Dr. Morse is a gifted surgeon highly regarded by all the ER and surgery nurses I talked with. In July 2013 my hand was broken in an auto accident and the Cornwall ER facility didn’t even mention another hand surgeon. They just said go see Dr. Morse. The surgery went without a hitch and everything since has pretty much gone according to Dr. Morse’s predictions. When I see him during an office visit he answers all my questions and there is never a sense of being rushed or on a schedule. He spends as much time as it takes to minister to my hand and answer my questions. Now during my recovery therapy he has become my biggest cheerleader, getting me to accomplish as much as is possible. I recommend him without reservation and would go back to him in an instant if I needed his services!

I had a serious hand trauma July 2013 and after admittance to the Cornwall ER in Leesburg I was told that the base of my thumb was broken and this was potentially a very serious and long lasting injury if not treated correctly. I was told by a trusted nurse that I knew that while the hand doctors in the Cornwall and Lansdowne locations were very good I should see Dr. Morse as «he is the best in DC.» I made an appointment with Dr. Morse, he promptly scheduled my surgery shortly after explaining my choices and I have not been disappointed once. I have seen him 12+ times since the surgery 9 months ago and believe that not only did he do an excellent job (my mobility and flexibility is almost back to 100%) but also his «bedside» manner is excellent. I have never felt rushed in an appointment and believe that he truly cared for my recovery. He has been very patient answering my questions and extremely accommodating with my few rescheduling requests. I highly recommend his practice.

I actually joined Unilocal just to comment on Dr. Morse. Put simply: he’s awesome. I just finished with my surgery and I couldn’t be more pleased with his professionalism and care.
He’s a straight shooter and I have to admit I was impressed by the fact that he still takes E.R. calls and does a lot of reconstructive work for soldiers.
I found him via Washingtonian’s «Best Doctors» — and they were right about this one.
