Built for the fastest-growing side of the island

West and Central O‘ahu grew; specialty care mostly didn't follow. This clinic fixes that for hips and knees. Full consultations, imaging review, injections, and pre- and post-operative care happen here in Kunia — no H-1 crawl into town — while surgery is scheduled where it serves you best — The Queen's Medical Center or Adventist Health Castle — and many patients go home the same day after joint replacement.

“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.” — Jane K., Google review

Who this clinic serves

Patients come from ‘Aiea, Pearl City, Waipahu, Waipi‘o, Kapolei, Ewa Beach, Nānākuli, Wai‘anae, Wahiawā, Mililani, and the North Shore. If you've been putting off a knee or hip arthritis evaluation because town appointments eat half a day, this is your on-ramp: local visits, and a surgical plan that respects your geography.

Urgent care and physical therapy in the same center

Wiki Wiki Orthopedics — the practice's walk-in orthopedic urgent care — operates in the same Kunia Shopping Center suite area, with X-ray on site. Fractures, sprains, and sports injuries get same-week specialist eyes without an ER bill, and escalate directly to Dr. Morton when needed.

The West Oahu clinic also offers in-house physical therapy — so pre-hab before surgery and rehab after it happen in the same building as your surgeon's team, with notes flowing directly between them.
