Hi, I’m
Dr. Paul Norio Morton.
I was raised in Kea’au on the Big Island. While attending college in Ohio, I was also a volunteer firefighter. The feeling I got when helping in rescue operations convinced me that I wanted to become a doctor. My love of sports, helping people, and technology have come together in my Orthopedic Practice at Pacific Bone and Joint.
I specialize in hips and knees and am the first Orthopedic Surgeon in Hawai’i who is Fellowship-trained in Robotic joint Replacement. Some of my patients have even nicknamed me “The Robot Doc.” I believe robotic surgery is more precise, less invasive has fewer complications, and will get you back out there feeling pain-free faster.
And although I use the latest technology, I still believe in good, old-fashioned, friendly, and personalized care.
If you’re having issues with your hips or knees, please give me a call today. Let’s find the best solution for you and get you back to being active, again!
Mahalo for entrusting me with your care,
Paul Norio Morton, M.D., FAAOS, FAAHKS

I found Dr Morton through his website which was extremely informative and I learned much about hip replacement surgery. Since I live on Maui, my first visit was via tele-health. I immediately felt a connection with Dr Morton. He is clearly an expert in his field, yet very humble and willing to really listen to me as a patient. He inquired about my wife as a caregiver and he arranged for a visit for her with a neurosurgeon to assess her neck pain. We flew to Oahu for a personal visit where he explained alternatives to surgery and answered every question that came to mind. My hip was so painful that I opted for replacement surgery. His awesome office staff made all the arrangements. The surgery was very successful. He is such a skillful surgeon that I have been recovering with minimal pain. He visited me in the recovery room and again at my hospital room. He is not one of those doctors that does his surgery and moves on to the next patient. He is committed to follow up appointments in the months and years to come. I really wish that there were more than five stars because Dr Morton deserves way more. - 6/16/2021read moreread less - Johan C.I’ve lived with my left hip injury for 34 years since ‘86 or ‘87, I was reluctant to get it repaired after seeing 2 previous surgeons as a child, & in the ‘90 as an adult. The 1st surgeon as a child was reluctant to perform the surgery because he said it was too close the nerves & it’s dangerous, so my parents & I accepted that. The second surgeon as an adult said he wouldn’t recommend it, I was too young & I’ll wear it out by the time I’m 30, so I accepted that answer & gave up. Within the past 3 years, since 2017, my right hip became sore & I thought it was muscle pain & tried to walk it off ignoring my wife’s advice to see a doctor. Finally in 2020 I decide to see my doctor, Dr. Auora Mariani MD, who referred me to Dr. Paul Morton. Come to find out, I wore out my right hip & it wore down to bone on bone, & that was more painful than my already injured left hip.When I first seen Dr. Morton I can see how sincere & anxious to take on this challenge. I remember his words of I like challenges. He seen my CT scan & X rays & I could tell he already had a plan of attack. I finally got the left side done on 28 Nov 2020, & plan to repair the right side after Dr. Morton feels the left side is stable. Taking those walks with the physical therapist Carolina at Queen’s I was amazed how different life is now that my walking has improved. I used to drag my left left leg & turn from the hip to walk instead bending my leg up. I thank God that he has led me to Dr. Morton. I can’t wait till both hips are repaired & then I can finally spend more time playing outside with my 2 boys, helping them with their Judo exercises, & golfing with my father in law. Thanks Dr. Morton. I really can’t thank you enough! - 11/18/2020read moreread less
- Marina B.I had great experience with Dr Morton, he spend almost an hour explaining details and options for my hip. I felt like he was first doctor who actually listened to me instead of brushing me off and minimizing my pain. He gave me hope and ideas on what lies down the road. He maybe a young surgeon but he definitely knows what he is doing. I also respect the fact that he had surgical training in Germany and was chosen as one of the top students in his field (I choose carefully my doctors). I like doctors who don’t sugarcoat and tell you upfront what is happening without making it sound too complicated. I would trust him to do my surgery. - 12/18/2020read moreread less
- Natalie M.Dr. Morton is an extremely knowledgeable doctor with great experience and education. Knowing he has had three ACL reconstructive surgeries himself and is in great shape and athletic gives me hope in my situation and confidence that he is the right doctor for me. He also took his time explaining my unique situation to me, asked me questions to understand my pain, and I did not feel rushed out.He just moved into this new office at Queens so be patient having to go to another building for x-rays if needed and allow plenty of time to figure out parking. The front desk staff is kind and very helpful as well! Very positive experience overall. - 11/18/2020read moreread less

Upon first meeting Dr Morton I knew I was in the right hands!! He was very informative, took the time to talk to me about a total hip replacement, dealt with all my allergies and put me right at ease. He is very calm nature, easy to talk to and a wealth of info. I went thru surgery as he is very involved with his patients one on one; which is very unusual nowadays. He is an amazing doctor and I have been so impressed with his bedside manners, caring personality and overall care and concern of my health!! I would highly recommend him.

He is very popular so that I had to wait for more than three months to have the surgery done. He is very kind hearted and patient to answer all my questions.When I read his reviews and many patients cited that there were minimal pains after surgeries. I could not believe it as I experienced extreme pains during my previous right knee partial knee replacement 7 years ago with another doctor.Amazingly I am also lucky enough this time to not experience pains after surgery. I think this is due to Dr. Morton’s skills to bypass the quad muscles cutting. Indeed I felt my quad muscles strength intact and I could lift my left legs right after surgery to get in and off the car, bed and bath tub. I could drive after 2 weeks, walk 2 miles after 4 weeks, and could swim after 7 weeks. My only issue is serious swelling still existing after 7 weeks and only able to bend my knees about 100 degrees. I hope ROM can be improved to 120 degrees after swelling coming down in the future.I would like to suggest improvement in office communications. Many messages left on office phone were not returned. A few days after surgery I saw redness developing around my wounds. I sent a picture to the office by email as I worried about the possibility of infection, and I did not receive a reply. - 6/25/2026read moreread lessLinda M.Yes very pleased with the service and the employees.

Facing that crossroad brings significant stress, but the team at Pacific Bone and Joint immediately put me at ease. The office staff is incredibly courteous, especially Carol, who handled my intake. She was exceptionally thorough, asking clarifying questions. It was clear she genuinely cared about the accuracy of my care.When Dr. Morton entered the room, his confidence, humility, and authentic sense of caring replaced my anxiety with a peace knowing that im at the right place. As he reviewed my MRI, he explained my situation and options clearly, answering every question. He stressed that his job is to help me accomplish my goals making it clear that I am not just a patient getting another surgery but a person to him.It is rare to find a surgeon who truly cares about you as an individual.

The receptionist that checked us in was very sweet. Carol, the Dr’s assistant was very helpful & informative as she took down my information just before Dr Morton came in. When Dr Morton entered the room he began by introducing himself and we just immediately had a good feel about him. By the time he was done (a whole unrushed hour) telling us about himself and what he does and going over the options and procedures and just explaining everything in full detail I looked over my long list of questions I brought with me and he pretty much answered them all! I didn’t even have to ask but one or two additional questions. You can tell this Dr loves his job and cares about his patients! That’s reassuring to me who is very apprehensive about my whole knee issue. I’m not worrying so much now as I feel I’ll be in good hands. - 2/05/2026read moreread lessWendell A.Now in my third week since surgery and everything is progressing well. The pain levels has been very manageable to the point where I stop taking the narcotic meds before the end of the first week and today Nov 8 I’m done with the other one and plan on using Tylenol extra strength from now if needed. Still have swelling which is expected but overall range of motion is good, I walk daily along with exercise routines and therapy twice a week. Wasn’t sure what to expect post surgery but very happy with where I am and foresee quickly being able to resume my pre surgery level. This success is due to the less invasive surgery and the excellent follow up from Dr Morton and his staff. Wendell A - 1/31/2026read moreread lessJennifer I.Dr. Morton and his team are the best!

My husband went in to have his bone on bone knees injected with Durolaone (right knee) and PRP (left knee).Carol met us and had a warehouse of information as she answered all our questions.Then Mary (Dr Mortons’s PA) did the knee injections which were painless for my husband Jonny. She had a great attitude…. very positive and happy. Then Dr Morton came in to make sure all our concerns were addressed. What an impressive team !!! The next day Jonny went for a 10 min walk (not usual for him) and I could tell he was walking faster than usual so the pain must be improved. We hope he continues to improve.

The robotic knee surgery went perfectly. Dr. MORTON is the BOMB! But his support staff Kelcie is kind and efficient. The PT's Chelsea and Bryson have been the most beneficial to recovery! Thank you to Dr. Morton and staff!!! - 1/06/2026read moreread lessEdward J.Suffering from AVN bilateral hip arthritis for over 10yrs. Got Arthroplasty surgery with Dr. Morton and team; always seeing his commercial about a local boy with all kine accomplishments at a young age. Dr. Morton said " no more pain after the procedure". I was sold, chanc'um. After doing both hips; recovery was amazing, being in my mid 40's prolly made it easier?. Dr. Mortons staff are always on top of it helping me through my first surgery; feeling like a deer in the headlights, the staff provided great advice, options, and answers/guidance. After both surgeries, went home of about 20 steps the same day. Out of a walker in about a week with PT & personal motivation. Hopefully get on a skateboard, fishing, golfing, yoga, bboy soon, but overall the ability to be an ARTIST OF MOVEMENT again.. I appreciate Dr. Morton and Team. MAHALO for giving my imaginations a chance to come true. BLESS AND HAUOLI MAKAHIKIHOU - 1/01/2026read moreread lessSandie S.Very professional and knowledgeable.
