Surgery/Hospitalization

Our surgeons are able to perform many of their operations in the ambulatory surgery center located within our suite. For cases that cannot be done in the ambulatory surgery center, our physicians also have privileges at Swedish Medical Center, Providence Medical Center, The Seattle Surgery Center, Childrens Hospital, and University Hospitals. If surgery is required, the doctor's assistant will help you set the date and time, as well as work with you to get a referral from your insurance if necessary.

 

Prescriptions and Refills

Our medical assistants will be happy to call in a prescription or refill prescription for you any time before 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. Please have your pharmacy number ready for the assistant.
