Monty Morris was raised in nearby Argyle, and went to Texas A&M University.  Monty originally started his career as a Firefighter Paramedic in North Dallas, where he would earn "Rookie of the Year" honors.  Soon after this achievement, Monty would become Paramedic of the Year and continue to serve for over a decade.  While caring for his patients, he realized he wanted to build long term relationships with them and ensure they received the attention and quality of care they deserved.  This passion ultimately drove Monty’s decision to pursue a career as a medical provider.

Monty established and has owned Justin Family Medical since 2001.  Monty and his staff find joy in treating the patients like they are part of the family. The quality time and care Justin Family Medical spends with each patient is the same time and care they would spend with their own mother or brother.

Monty went on to graduate from the University of North Texas Health Science Center and was named the President of his charter class. Monty also serves as a Clinical Professor appointed by:

University of North Texas Health Science Center
Saint Louis School of Medicine
Baylor School of Medicine-Houston
University of North Dakota Physician Assistant Program
University of Texas-Arlington

Outside of the clinic, Monty enjoys spending time with Amy, his children, bonus children and grandchildren. Monty and Amy love to attend faith filled events including church and Christian concerts.  They are active members of Gracepointe Church in Denton, where they serve on the Greeting Ministry Team.  They are also both very passionate in caring, raising and enjoying their registered longhorn cattle.  If you visit the 5-Four Ranch in Krum, it would not be unusual to see them riding their "scooby" from pasture to pasture to make sure the longhorns are comfortable, content and thriving!
