General Practitioners

• Arthritis
  Arthritis: Orthopedic urgent care centers can provide care for patients with arthritis, including osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. They can offer pain relief, joint injections, and physical therapy to help manage symptoms and improve joint function.
• Family Practice
• Emergency Care
  If you think you may have a medical emergency, call your doctor, go to the emergency department, or call 911 immediately.

Neurologists

• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Radiologist

• Ultrasound
  The procedure is most often performed on partial tears in the Achilles Tendon and rotator cuff tendon tears in the shoulder as well as osteoarthritis of knees and hips, often using ultrasound guidance. PRP is done under sterile conditions in the office and must be arranged ahead of time. Feel free to discuss this procedure with any of our physicians or therapists and we can help you decide if it would be effective for your condition.
• MRI
  MRI is a type of high tech scanner that uses magnetic fields to create “slices” of a picture of a part of your body. This diagnostic test will be used to evaluate and verify your specific injury. These scans may be done with or without dye. Arthrograms are MRI studies with dye. If dye is required, you will receive an injection by a Radiologist and then be taken to our MRI Suite for your scan. We employ our own technologists to ensure that you have the best possible scan, built to each physician’s specifications. There are some patients who may not qualify for scanning if they have certain conditions or metal in their bodies.
• Radiology
  Curve Beam’s pedCAT is an ultra-low radiology dose CT imaging system. Patients benefit from the convenience of point-of-care advanced diagnostic imaging. The pedCAT provides physicians a 3D weight bearing view of your foot and ankle, and OPA is one of the few orthopedic practices in the Seattle area with this machine.
• X-Rays
• Computed Tomography
  Because no two knees are the same, MAKOplasty customizes the procedure for your unique anatomy. Before your surgery a computed tomography (CT) scan is taken of your knee, and the RIO® System creates a 3-D anatomical model. This allows the surgeon to plan the placement and alignment of your knee implants prior to surgery, and helps to accurately execute the plan.

Surgeons

• Orthopedics
  OPA physicians are board certified in Orthopedics, Sports Medicine, Physiatry, and Anesthesiology / Interventional Pain Medicine, and each has advanced subspecialty fellowship training in Sports, Joints, Foot & Ankle, Spine, and Trauma.
• Arthroscopy
• Ankle Surgery
  When your feet hurt, you may try some things on your own: Elastic bandages, physical therapy and even new shoes. However, if you require surgery you want to see the most experienced professionals. OPA has physicians who have specialized in foot and ankle surgery since 1989. We offer comprehensive services to evaluate your problem, perform surgery and dispense casting, boots and orthotics as needed.
• Joint Replacement
  I had hip replacement surgery with Dr. Matsen Ko for one hip and I felt fully active in 3 months. 6 months later I needed the same surgery for the other hip and now 3 months later I am fully active: able to walk 5 miles without pain and do stand up paddle boarding.  The second surgery was more complex due to the need for hardware removal from an injury many years before.  I am grateful for Dr. Matsen Ko’s judgment and skill.  Her office staff also are responsive  and called me back the same day when I had concerns post-op.  I highly recommend Dr. Matsen Ko for anyone in need of joint replacement surgery.”

• Bunions
• Arthroscopy
• Hip Replacement
  I am just 8 weeks from my hip replacement surgery and wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your work & your staff's as well.  I was not able to walk since mid-June until after surgery on 9/9. The best news is that I have been able to hike again. You and your team made me feel comfortable and confident on surgery day.
• Knee Replacement
  With OA the top layer of cartilage breaks down and wears away, allowing bones under the cartilage to rub together, causing pain and discomfort. The most common surgical intervention for knee OA is a total knee replacement. During this procedure the natural joint is removed and replaced with an artificial implant. This treatment option is usually offered to patients with late-stage osteoarthritis of the knee.

Dermatologists

• Cyst
• Lesions
• Psoriasis
  If you have questions about rheumatoid arthritis treatment or psoriasis arthritis treatment and whether or not they vary from other types of arthritis treatment, give OPA Ortho a call.

Physical Therapists

• Sports Medicine
  Sports Injuries: Sports that involve sudden stops and changes in direction, such as soccer, basketball, and tennis, can increase the risk of a medial meniscus tear.
• Physical Therapy
  Many famous athletes — Tiger Woods, tennis star Rafael Nadal and several others — have received PRP for various problems such as sprained knees and chronic tendon injuries. These types of conditions have typically been treated with medications, physical therapy or even surgery. Some athletes have credited PRP with their ability to return more quickly to competition.
• Occupational Therapy
  Rehabilitation: Orthopedic units often provide rehabilitation services to help patients recover from injuries and surgeries. These services may include physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy, depending on the patient’s needs.
• Tennis Elbow
  Sports injuries: Orthopedic urgent care centers are well-equipped to diagnose and treat sports-related injuries, such as ACL tears, rotator cuff injuries, and tennis elbow. They can provide immediate treatment, including injections and physical therapy, to help athletes get back to their sports as soon as possible.
