I was able to get in to see Dr. Morelli after my ER visit. His bedside manner is unmatched. He was so calm and kind, listened to everything I said, and didn’t want to run any unnecessary tests and referred me straight to a surgeon. He was so genuine and sympathetic.
The front desk as well as the person checking me out were all very kind.
I do wish the nurse/assistant was a little more personable. I don’t even think she said hi.

Dr. Morelli and his team were very kind and clear on pre and post procedure.. I spoke to tech a couple of time prior to procedure. He was very calming and helpful with my question.
Very happy to have Michael Morelli as my doctor! Friendly, skilled and professional doctor that is patient and answers all my questions and concerns. None better!
Such a caring and professional doctor, office and staff are personable and considerate. Dr. Morelli is worth the drive to Indianapolis area from southern Indiana. I couldn't be more happy with Dr. Morelli and the care he provides to my husband. Thank you.
