Dr. Morey has been in private practice for four years. Throughout his ten years of dedicated pathology work, he has viewed and interpreted over 100,000 pathology specimens. He has special expertise in melanoma, rashes, cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, and digital pathology.
Dr. Morey received his Bachelors in Chemistry and Masters of Public Health degrees from Brigham Young University in Utah. He then worked at the Utah Department of Health as an Environmental Epidemiologist, performing cancer cluster investigations under the CDC-ATSDR by compiling water and soil sampling data and performing analyses to determine population exposures to environmental contamination.
Dr. Morey completed his medical training at the University of Vermont College of Medicine, where he was initially involved in radiology research, traveling to Uganda to train nurse midwives in obstetric ultrasound. He was one of two students awarded a post-junior year pathology fellowship, and decided to pursue a career in pathology. Following medical school, he moved to the Texas Medical Center for a four-year residency program in anatomic and clinical pathology at the Houston Methodist Hospital, named a top 20 Honor Roll Hospital and the #1 Hospital in Texas by US News and World Report. During residency, Dr. Morey served as the Chair of the National Residents Forum at the College of American Pathologists (CAP), as well as on the College’s Board of Governors.
Training at the Texas Medical Center included integrated rotations in bone and soft tissue pathology at MD Anderson Cancer Center (MDACC), pediatric pathology at the University of Texas Health Science Center (UTHSC), and pediatric blood banking at Texas Children's Hospital (TCH). During his fourth year, Dr. Morey began to focus on skin pathology, completing three months of dermatopathology at Baylor College of Medicine (with Dr. Hafeez Diwan), UTHSC (with Dr. Ronald Rapini), and MDACC (with Dr. Victor Prieto). His medical training culminated with a prestigious one-year dermatopathology fellowship at the H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, Florida, where he studied under the supervision of Dr. Jane Messina, one of the nation’s foremost experts in the diagnosis of melanoma, Merkel cell carcinoma, and cutaneous T-cell lymphoma.
