Samantha Gelperin, PA-C

Samantha Gelperin, PA-C, is a board-certified physician assistant specializing in surgical oncology. She works closely with surgical teams to support patients through diagnosis, treatment and recovery, with a focus on clear communication and compassionate, coordinated care. Samantha has experience supporting care for complex endocrine conditions, including hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, Addison’s disease, Cushing’s disease and prolactinoma. Her clinical expertise also includes serving as a surgical first assist and performing biopsies.

Before her career in health care, Samantha spent 15 years as a federal firefighter with the Department of Defense, serving military members and their families. That experience shaped her strong foundation in emergency and pre hospital care, reinforcing her commitment to supporting patients during critical moments. Samantha was inspired to pursue a career in health care to expand her ability to care for patients beyond urgent situations and play a more active role in their long term health and wellness. 

The services Samantha provides include:

• Care for endocrine conditions, including hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism
• Surgical first assist

• MultiCare Oncology Group

• American Academy of Physician Associate
• Washington Academy of Physician Assistant

I value building meaningful, lasting relationships with patients and partnering with them over time. My goal is to provide compassionate, comprehensive care that supports patients not only in moments of urgency, but throughout every stage of their wellness journey.
