Dr. Jessica Morton is a fellowship-trained surgeon specializing in hip and knee total joint replacement surgery. She is trained and experienced in the technically demanding, minimally invasive anterior hip replacement surgery. When a patient is eligible, Dr. Morton finds this approach advantageous as it allows access to the hip joint while avoiding nearby muscles and tendons.
