01
Robotics explained publicly
Living808 and KITV segments give patients a plain-language entry point into robotic hip and knee replacement.
Media and recognition
Orthopedic education from a Hawaii surgeon patients can actually find and understand.
Dr. Morton has appeared in local media to explain robotic surgery, knee arthritis, hip replacement, and the reason a Hawaii-rooted practice matters for patients who need care close to home.
Recognition
Awards, focused training, and Hawaii-specific care planning help patients compare trust before they schedule.
First Hawaii orthopedic surgeon fellowship-trained in robotic joint replacement
ACGME-accredited fellowship training in hip and knee replacements
Minimally invasive, muscle-sparing approaches when appropriate
Concierge-style coordination for travel and neighbor island patients
Patient proof
Why media belongs on a medical site
Media is not a substitute for training or outcomes. It matters when it shows a surgeon explaining complex choices clearly and consistently to the community he serves.
02
Hawaii roots visible
Dr. Morton has spoken about growing up on Hawaii Island, returning home, and building access for local and neighbor island patients.
03
Recognition with context
Awards and media mentions support trust when they are paired with credentials, patient education, and clinical judgment.
Video stories

Total knee replacement
Denise
Denise discussed her total knee replacement experience and the role of preoperative pain-control planning.
Clavicle fracture and active recovery
James

Patient review themes
Joint replacement decisions need clarity before commitment.
The right plan starts with diagnosis, imaging, timing, approach, implant questions, recovery support, and whether surgery is truly the next step.
