Orthopedic Surgery near Edmonds, WA

Care Philosophy: My surgical philosophy is based on patient-centered care. The decision to have an operation is never an easy one, and every patient's circumstances are unique. Every operation involves a partnership of trust between the patient and doctor. My job as a surgeon is to discuss all available treatment options (both surgical and non- surgical), to give honest advice based on the best current evidence, and deliver expertise care using the best techniques available to ensure an excellent outcome.
