Dr. Morrison was the Division Director and Fellowship Director at Vanderbilt University before relocating to Florida in 2022. He has published over 100 papers and book chapters in Pediatric Ophthalmology and has been named an “America’s Best Doctor” By the Consumer Research Counsel each year since 2013.

What do you love about Ophthalmology?
I love combining the long term relationships of a clinic-based practice with the curative nature of surgical intervention. I believe in evidence-based medicine to provide my patients outstanding and compassionate care.
What are your favorites activities?
As a recent resident of St. Pete, I love doing everything outdoors. When not in the office or surgery, you can find Dr. Morrison and his wife, Kim, at the beach, cycling downtown or enjoying a game of pickleball.
