Dr. Greg Morris is a Respected Specialist in Foot Surgery in Hawaii
Dr. Greg Morris, a respected specialist in foot surgery in Hawaii,

Dr. Morris has served as chief surgical resident and surgical faculty
member for the surgical residency program at Kaiser Santa Clara, California
and surgical faculty for the Hawaii Podiatric Surgical Fellowship program.
He has written articles for both the Journal of
Foot and Ankle Surgery and the Journal of
the American Podiatric Medical Association. Dr. Morris is an
active surgical staff member at all the major hospitals and medical
centers in Hawaii. He currently performs the majority of his surgeries
at Queen's Medical Center, Kapiolani Medical Center at Pali Momi, St.
Francis West Medical Center and Health South Surgery Center.
Dr. Morris performs
and teaches all of the latest surgical procedures and techniques to
correct foot and ankle problems. Most routine forefoot surgeries (Bunions,
Hammertoes, Neuromas etc.) are performed in an outpatient hospital setting
and patients are usually able to walk in a protective shoe and return
home the same day. More complicated or reconstructive foot and ankle
surgeries (Fractures, Ruptured Tendons, Arch Reconstruction etc.) are
still performed in an outpatient setting, but may require being in a
cast or splint post-operatively.
There have been
many great advances in all areas of surgery over the past 10 years,
especially foot and ankle surgery. The new surgical techniques and equipment
designed for foot and ankle surgery have dramatically reduced the recovery
period after surgery and have greatly increased the results and patient
satisfaction. Many foot and ankle problems do not require surgical intervention,
especially if diagnosed and treated promptly and properly. Therefore,
if you have a foot or ankle problem that requires medical or surgical
attention, please make an appointment for a consultation and evaluation
with Dr. Morris, to determine and discuss your surgical and non-surgical
treatment options.
