What patients — and Honolulu Magazine — say about Dr. Morton

Dr. Morton was honored in Honolulu Magazine's Top Doctors — the peer-nominated recognition in which Hawai‘i physicians name the colleagues they would trust with their own families — receiving the honor in 2024 and appearing again in the 2025 listing. Peer recognition matters differently than patient reviews: it reflects what other doctors see in the operating room and the case conferences, not just the waiting room. The honor came as his practice — Pacific Bone & Joint — cemented its place as the islands' home for robotic joint replacement.

Public review platforms as of mid-2026:

Excerpts from public reviews, as posted:

“His knowledge and skill in robotic hip and knee replacement surgery has given me back my life.” — Yelp review

“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.” — Healthgrades review

“I was walking with a walker and doing light PT exercises the same day after my hip replacement!” — Yelp review

“Dr. Morton gave me my life back. I love the attention to detail and overall care I received from Dr. Morton and his team!” — practice testimonials

Read enough reviews and patterns emerge: patients consistently describe walking far sooner than they expected — same-day and first-week mobility stories dominate; feeling genuinely heard at consultations rather than processed; and a team that runs on time and plans ahead. One review put it memorably: “Living in Hawaii you have expectations that everything is done on Hawaii time… Not the case with Dr. Morton.” For video versions of these stories, visit patient video testimonials; for the recoveries behind them, see the rapid-recovery protocol.
