A Birmingham native, Dr. Morgan attended the University of Alabama at Birmingham and earned his medical degree from the University of Alabama School of Medicine.

Dr. Morgan has seen firsthand how hormone replacement therapy can improve quality of life for patients experiencing hormonal imbalances. While treatment has traditionally focused on women going through menopause, he notes that many younger women can also benefit. "Classically, we would treat menopausal women who begin experiencing symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, difficulty sleeping, anxiety, and depression," says Dr. Morgan. "However we've learned that some women in their thirties may also experience hormone deficiencies and can benefit greatly from treatment." Today, patients have a variety of treatment options available including oral medications, creams, patches, and bioidentical hormone pellets. These pellets, which are about the size of a grain of rice and placed just beneath the skin, can provide consistent hormone delivery for several months and have produced excellent results for many patients.
When he's not caring for patients, Dr. Morgan enjoys art, relaxing at the lake with his wife, and spending time with his grandkids.
