Surgery & Technology
Where your surgery happens
Robotic joint replacement is performed right here on the Big Island at Hilo Community Surgery Center using the MAKO™ system, which plans your procedure from a pre-operative CT scan for a personalized fit.

Care offered in Hilo
Physical therapy is available at our Oahu clinics; on the Big Island we coordinate rehabilitation with trusted local partners.
Only on the Big Island
The Big Island's only carpal tunnel release with real-time ultrasound guidance
We're the only group offering minimally invasive, carpal tunnel release with real-time ultrasound guidance on the Big Island — a few-millimeter incision, done in the office, with a faster return to work.
Outpatient Surgery Center
Why we operate at an outpatient surgery center
For eligible patients, an ambulatory surgery center offers real advantages over a large hospital — and keeps your care close to home.
Lower cost
Outpatient procedures are typically less expensive than the same surgery in a hospital.
High quality & safety
A focused, efficient setting designed around orthopedic surgery, for healthy candidates.
Surgeon-led
Dr. Morton manages and controls the environment, team, and technology directly.
Close to home
Stay on the Big Island for surgery and recovery instead of flying to Oahu.
Eligibility for outpatient surgery depends on your health and procedure. Not everyone is a candidate; individual results vary.
Two nights near Hilo Community Surgery Center
The night before
We prefer that you stay near the surgery center in Hilo the night before surgery. Surgery times can change, sometimes on short notice, and being close by means you are not rushing in the morning.
The night after
Plan to spend the night after surgery nearby as well, even if you go home from the surgery center in Hilo the same day, so you are close by if anything comes up that first evening.
Your ride home
Every patient must be driven home after surgery by a family member or friend. You cannot drive yourself home.
Many follow-up visits can be done by video, so once you are home you may not need to travel back for every check-in. Dr. Morton will let you know which visits need to be in person.
