Patient reviews
What patients say when it's their own hip or knee
Robotic precision and muscle-sparing technique matter because of what they feel like three weeks later. These are real, public reviews from Dr. Morton's patients — quoted from the platforms where they were posted.
“His knowledge and skill in robotic hip and knee replacement surgery has given me back my life.”
“Dr. Morton & his team are caring and simply awesome. The new Waipahu office is very conveniently located. I am thrilled with my new hip — 21 days out and I’m walking normally.”
“From the first visit I felt very secure and comfortable with him. The surgery was very successful — I was walking without assistance after only 5 days. The level of care and kindness have been extraordinary.”
“I was walking with a walker and doing light PT exercises the same day after my hip replacement!”
“Dr. Morton gave me my life back. I love the attention to detail and overall care I received from Dr. Morton and his team!”
“Living in Hawaii you have expectations that everything is done on Hawaii time… Not the case with Dr. Morton. No delays, his staff plans for the unexpected, and expectations are above and beyond!”
