Comprehensive surgical care to elevate your well-being
At MultiCare, we offer surgical services for a wide range of conditions and injuries. While general surgeons tend to have a broader scope of expertise, our surgical specialists focus on certain parts of the body or areas of medicine, such as neurology or orthopedics.
Regardless of what kind of procedure you need, our surgical teams collaborate with other specialists across MultiCare to develop the most effective treatment plan and support your recovery.
