Orthopedics

Our orthopedic surgeons and specialists focus on caring for injuries and diseases that affect the spine, bones, joints and muscles. We start by identifying the source of the problem. Then we put together a treatment plan that addresses your specific needs.

When possible, we use nonsurgical treatments like physical therapy. If surgery is needed, we do traditional and minimally invasive surgery, which uses tiny incisions. It’s all designed to return you to an active, pain-free lifestyle.

Services include:

• Repair of complex bone breaks
• Care for long-term shoulder pain
• Elbow surgery
• Hand surgery
• Hip surgery
• Knee surgery
• Orthopedic oncology (cancer of the bones or soft tissues)
• Shoulder surgery
• Spine surgery 
• Sports and performance medicine 
• Total joint replacement

Locations

Our surgeons see patients at our Ballard, Downtown, Madison Center and Northgate Plaza clinics. If surgery is needed, it might be scheduled at First Hill Surgery Center, our outpatient surgery center. 

Benefits of First Hill Surgery Center include:

• You’ll be sent home just a few hours after surgery.
• No overnight stay lowers the chances of complications, including infections.
• Lower overall facility fees mean lower out-of-pocket costs for you.
