It wouldn't be Mortons, unless the person's last name who it was named after was Mortons, which it isn't. The trend is to drop the apostrophe. This would be Morton neuroma or Morton's neuroma. If the name was Mortons, and you wanted to use the apostrophe, it would be Mortons' neuroma. But that's not the case here--as in Hawkins' sign. The name is Hawkins, so you would type either Hawkins or Hawkins'.
