Gregory Morris, DPM

Be prepared to wait at least an hour. Whoever books Dr Morris’ schedule clearly overbooks on the regular. I have a recurring foot issue that leads me to visit every six months. The first time that I waited for an hour I took it as a one-​off incident. The second time I waited an hour and had to be seen by Dr Ho instead. On my third visit I waited almost 2 hours, a total waste of my time, and on top of that he was unable to treat me properly. Upon mentioning that I do not want to be billed for the long wait and lack of treatment, be laughed it off saying that I can just ignore the bill when it comes in the mall.
As for bedside manner, he laughs everything off (from payment disputes to surgery related questions) and he ends every sentence with «that and stuff». It is ridiculous that he is a doctor and surgeon at Hawaii’s biggest hospital.

I truly appreciate how Dr. Ho is so personable with her patients! She took the time to call me and inform me of my situation with my foot, my insurance, and asked how I was doing about a week ago! I was so surprised and thought how nice that was!
And today’s visit was really informative and I really appreciate how considerate and polite she is! She gave me the expectations and reality about after care with a great metaphor that made me really relate and understand the situation. I was amazed with how she remembered my X-​ray and situation and I didn’t have to repeat myself (which I do often with my other doctors). You could really tell how she is genuinely concerned with your health and sympathizes with how much pain your in. She takes the time to listen, which I am thankful for.
The receptionist/​medical assistant was really nice too! I was early for my appointment and was shocked when I got to be seen right away!
I went to their new office at the Queen’s Medical Center West Oahu in Ewa. It’s smaller, but clean and parking is free for 3 hours (unlike the parking at the Queen’s Medical Center in Honolulu). So, I was thankful I didn’t have to pay anything, because I forgot to bring cash. Phew!
You can enjoy free wifi on the bottom floor of The Queen’s Physicians Office Building. Unfortunately, no wifi in the doctor’s office. And there is no ocean view like the other office, but it’s convenient to come here if you want to be seen sooner than later. If I wanted to be seen at the Honolulu office, then my appointment would have been a bit later. So, it was nice to have an appointment sooner. The con about this location is the traffic, if you are coming from Honolulu.
But it’s worth being seen by the best!

Awful service! I am never going here again. It took me over a month to get a doctors note for work. It shouldn’t take that long. I requested a note after i saw the doctor. My work requires their own doctors note filled out so i called and asked if the doctor could fill that out. Cecelia said ok and took my info down. I waited over a week and nothing was sent to me. I called again and she said there was no response from the doctor. She said she would send it as soon as the doctor filled it out. Several days went by and nothing came so i called again. I talked to Lyka and she informed me that there would be a charge for filling out my jobs doctor note and not the doctors one. Why wasnt i told this when i first asked? So i told her to send the doctors one instead. It was very hard to understand her and she wasn’t listening when i spoke. She just kept saying the same thing over and over. Not helpful at all! So i called the next day instead to talk to Cecelia and she said she would have it sent to my email. Several days passed and still nothing so i emailed asking for it again. Then i got a call from Desirae trying to follow up on my email but she seemed to not know anything i had previously discussed with the other two. Is there no communication in the office? Does every patient have to go over the whole thing again with everyone working there? I felt like i had to start from the beginning. Desirae was very sassy and gave me attitude when i tried to explain the situation. She finally sent the note to me! The length of time and hassle it took me is just ridiculous. What kind of office is the doctor running?! Horrible!

Have a schedule appointment with Dr. Morris and I’ve been waiting for almost an hour. The front desk tells me that it’s first come first serve for the sign in sheet. What an idiot then what’s the point of having me scheduled to begin with if you’re going to treat me like a walk in patient. The front desk lady doesn’t know what she’s doing. I’m Definely switching doctors. What a waste of my time.

Long wait (listening to staff chatter unprofessionally, one going on and on about another who calls in sick last minute & may have to be fired), then see an associate (dingy lab coat) who does the procedure and then Dr. Morris comes in at the end. After follow-​up appointment, had to go back because toe was painful. Dr. Morris comes in and cuts nail real low and along the side where the ingrown was taken out, saying that should help with the pain. Got charged for that visit.

He’s super nice friendly and down to the point. Knows exactly what he’s talking about and only dr out of 5 others that is actually fixing my foot problem!

I’m 35, Diabetic & have had a long suffering of bunion pains, a curling 4^th toe and cries of help when it came to shoes!!! I have limited my active life to my painful feet and uncomfortable shoes. Dr. Morris office has relieved all that! My appointments have always been great but I am not such a particular person so waiting… is like any doctor office to me… seeing a diffrent physician just for follow ups were fine with me. I love his staff. Yes, The New Nurse that has you sit and wait for your doctor is not like the first nurse I had in May. I wish I had gotten her name! She was awesome! This new one has a bit of an attitude but moreso NO HOSPITALITY. She’s my only pep peeve because of having such great service before.
Okay, back to my review on Dr. Morris. He’s a great guy but I dont care to comment on that. His work and My foot is the revelation here. Exactly 2 weeks after surgery was hard. I have 2 girls ages 2 and 3. But you are briefed and should always research more on your own time to be knowledgable on what to expect in any surgery. Cause no doctor knows your lifestyle and habits. When you are told to rest, no weight bearing, no walking till such time. Then by all means take it seriously or your healing will not go well. After 2 weeks I felt strong enough to do some basic things. with crutches. Each day that passed I wrote down my concerns. Some days it would be painful somedays would be fine. And I noticed if I had done to much activity the more I felt pain. But, logging my pains and concerns helped me understand myself better through out this experience. And also, mention it to Dr. Morris or other physicians at each of my follow up appointments. And it has helped me to understand my doctor and my needs. I had my surgery in MAY 06, 2014 and AUGUST 2014 I was walking normally and strong. I have hiked all over Oahu with a balance I never had before. And I am excited to annouce that I will be having my next surgery for my right foot soon. My results have been life changing. I reccomend Dr. Morris but always DO your Research on What type of surgery you are getting. Read Blogs on what others had to endure and do to be prepared. These have helped me overcome my fear of this surgery and ensure the best outcome. Thank you Dr. Morris!

told by a friend to see this doc. after having a bunch of leg injuries and foot pain, he suggested that correcting my foot would solve the problem… the worse surgery ever. my toe is still crooked, stiff, and i have worse foot pain when i walk. told me i could be back running in two months. til this day i still can’t run. he said he could recorrect it again… with another surgery. no ways! office is always jam packed… long wait times.

The best foot doctor in Hawaii.

When we initially saw Dr Morris several years ago, we were impressed with his attention to our problems and caring expertise. However, as his practice grew and he became more well known, the level of service in his office has deteriorated. His waiting room is always jam packed and the wait time to see him has grown progressively longer. Also, we always make an appointment to see him but often times we are treated by an associate who recently joined his practice. I guess this is the price of success.

For a while, I was nervous as to what the hell happened with my left foot. I had ran the 2013 Maui Marathon a few days earlier and fell at mile 4, but I didn’t think it would be so painful that I would have sought medical intervention. Thought it was something else, so I self diagnosed, but the pain became increasingly worse. Thank you to fellow Unilocal Elite Kim M for the recommendation for Dr Gregory Morris. After reading your review and the other 5 star reviews, I feel like I had found the good one.
Dr Morris’s office is located on the 8^th floor of the Physicians Office Building II on Luisitana Street. I’ve never been in POB II or POB I, so it was a learning experience for me. Thankful for Unilocal for directions and a sense of direction, I found my way here and its good to know where POB I and II are for the future. I’m not sure of parking options, but as with a large parking garage next to POB I, I’m sure that POB II has one of its own. Dr Morris specializes in feet and feet surgery. When I went to his office, I was nervous as to whether or not amputation was really necessary, since I was limping so badly. After checking in with the receptionist, I filled out the usual paperwork, then waited for my turn to head into the examination room.
My experience with Dr Morris was excellent. He was professional in explaining what was going on and thankful that I didn’t have to amputate or anything seriously drastic like that. That would definitely suck (and expensive too). He examined my foot and asked how it happened, etc and diagnosed right there. I also did X-​rays just to make sure nothing wasn’t broken. It was probably at most a 10 minute consultation with Dr Morris before he left and I did my X-​rays. Quick in and out and it was pretty good. I’m happy that I came to Dr Morris for my foot issue and thankful that it can be fixed fairly easily and I expensively. Maybe I should’ve laid off the liquor before the marathon. Lol
Dr Morris’s office is really nice, especially his waiting room. Very vibrant and full of patients. Kind of cool to see many people at a podiatrist’s office. They take credit cards for payment, so that’s always a plus in my book. Normally, I don’t carry cash anyhow, so that’s a nice convince for me. POB II has a pharmacy /​mini 7-​Eleven on the ground floor, so I made use of that and bought lunch there after my appointment. Overall, if you have issues with your foot, Dr Morris is the one to go to. He is board certified by the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons. Had a nice positive experience here and hope not to come back — unless need to. Thanks Dr Morris!
Support local!

Dr. Morris is very friendly and outgoing. He took the time to explain my 5^th metatarsal fracture and explain the healing process. I broke my foot right before my honeymoon and he was empathetic and encouraging. He gave me an aircast boot and ensured that I could still have fun on my honeymoon. When I returned from my honeymoon, I went in for a followup exam and x-​ray and he was kind enough to ask about my trip. He’s personable, outgoing and has a genuine interest in his patients’ well-​being. Not all doctors can make you feel that way.

I had been to Dr. Morris a few times. Great guy, and really easy to talk to. I like his style and I believe he’s a terrific doctor. I never had anything serious, so no surgery, but I would certainly have continued to see him.
Except for one important thing — his staff. They don’t know how to schedule people. No matter when I went, I would have to wait for over an hour. On my final visit, I waited so long that I had to leave without seeing him. I hope he can get them to stop overscheduling. He lost me as a patient and probably many others. Our time is important too.

I was living in Bogota when I twisted my ankle really bad, I went to therapy for a while but nothing seemed to fix the problem, I had a constant pain deeply in the ankle bone. When I came to live in Oahu I started to walk and walk and walk to know the street names and get used to the city, and the pain started to become worst and worst, to the point I didn’t want to walk anymore, I went to the doctor and she recommended me a list of different specialists.
AND I FOUND DR. GREGORY MORRIS.
He knew right away what I had, and recommended surgery, which I was afraid to do, but I found courage and I had surgery on November last year, he fixed my ankle, no more pain, no more loose ankle.
Dear Dr. Morris thanks for giving this crazy Colombian girl back the joy of walking, jumping, dancing running, living…
Couple of times I waited for about an hour to see him BUT it was totally worth it.
Gracias!

Dr. Morris performed bunion surgery on me. The surgery and recovery was a success. Dr. Morris was professional, thorough and courteous. His staff is very efficient and friendly. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Morris to anyone who needs a podiatrist.

I was recommended to see Dr. Morris after being bounced several times as I have Kaiser Added Choice and luckily this office accepts this.
I had badly injured my ankle in Oct 2012 as I walked down the steps after one of my training sessions at the YMCA and took an x-​ray as the pain and healing process took much longer than my usual ankle injuries. Dr. Christopher Marsh, my primary care physician, noticed a small bone chip in the x-​ray but suggested I see a podiatrist for review. When informing Dr. Marsh I was scheduled to do the 2012 Honolulu Marathon, he suggested I skip it due to my injury and the marathon date was right around the corner.
Dr. Morris’ office was quite busy but his staff were very courteous and informed me my wait shouldn’t be much longer.
I enjoyed Dr. Morris’ upbeat personality when he met me and was very informative in my injury. I was so looking forward to the marathon because it was on my bucket list, I decided to also ask what he thought. I was honest by informing Dr. Morris I haven’t been really training but have been active with cardio exercise but no long-​distance running (except for the Great Aloha Run back in Feb 2012). He advised me to take things gradually to allow my ankle to heal and get stronger. He also gave me thumbs up to go ahead with the marathon. He totally made my day with positive feedback!
Unfortunately, I got the stomach flu the day before the marathon and spent my whole day shuffling between my bedroom and the bathroom. Had enough strength to drive to Long’s for badly-​needed Imodium. Because I felt like hell I couldn’t really sleep as well as being anxious for the marathon.
Dug deep for strength and energy on marathon day. I may have needed several bathroom breaks but glad to report I made it to the finish line at Kapiolani Park.
I thank Dr. Morris for his professional advice and words of encouragement. I highly recommend him.

Unfortunately, I never got to see the doctor. I had an appointment and sat there for 45 minutes. Then I found out it would be another 2 hours before I got in. I left.
It’s a very poor business practice that some in the medical industry think they can get away with — overbook appointments and expect people to just sit there waiting on them for hours, as if their customers’ time is worth nothing.

Dr. Morris is a super friendly and excellent doc. He was great with my kid’s plantar fasciitis AND nasty infected toe wart. And I love his Ultimate Foot Store in Ward, he will write you an RX for orthotic slippers and inserts, so you can deduct the expenses from your Flex Spend account. Great service.

Dr. Gregory Morris is one of the friendliest and coolest doctors I see. He’s personable and easy to talk to.
He even let me take pictures of him giving my foot cortisone injections! And, he explained things well and thoroughly, so I wasn’t left in the dark.
Rewind to the ending of last year (2011) when I was hit by a car in a crosswalk. My foot was run over; I wore a hefty boot for several weeks; and still suffered from pain all throughout the whole first half of this year. The MD I was referred to by the Emergency Department was nice, but not a podiatrist by any means – he did not do my foot justice. I finally decided to make an appointment with Dr. Gregory Morris, based on his wonderful reputation at The Queen’s Medical Center.
I’m so thankful and glad that I did.
My foot feels a bit better from the cortisone. Dr. Morris did warn me, though, that he may have to do a minor surgery depending on how my first metatarsal joint takes to the cortisone. Well, at least I have cortisone for now. He will continue to give me injections if/​when needed, up until about 2 – 3 more times. Then, we can come back to reevaluate things.
I love it when MDs explain things! And Dr. Morris is funny and friendly. I totally recommend him to any and everyone needing a podiatrist!

Dr. Morris was awesome. I was coming off a really bad podiatric experience, and he didn’t seem money grubbing in the least (unlike my other doc who said I would get hurt if I didn’t buy $ 400+ custom orthotics). Long story short, he sold me over the counter orthotic inserts ($ 40 instead of $ 400!!) that got me through the Honolulu Marathon. He’s also friendly and pleasant, which is a big plus.
