Surgery on the Windward side
For patients in Kailua, Kāne‘ohe, Waimānalo, and up the Windward coast, Adventist Health Castle offers hospital-based hip and knee replacement minutes from home — which matters more than people expect. Early recovery is easier when family can visit without a Pali commute, and follow-up logistics stop competing with your healing. Robotic-assisted knee replacement is available here too — at Castle, Dr. Morton uses the CORI system, which builds its plan in the operating room rather than from a CT scan beforehand — and qualified hip and knee patients can go home the same day.
Venue is a decision, not a default
Dr. Morton operates at more than one O‘ahu hospital precisely so geography can serve the patient: same-day robotic knee replacement and complex work at Queen's, and community-hospital settings like Castle when they fit your case and coverage. Revision surgery is done at both hospitals: at Queen's for most patients and at Castle for some. Clinic visits happen at Ala Moana or Kunia, with telehealth filling gaps for busy Windward schedules.

— Sandi L. · Google review · 2021 “I underwent right total knee replacement in March 2023. Everyone is different, of course, but I sailed through surgery and recovery. The surgery itself was quick!”
