Excellence is Our SpecialtyDiscover our Surgical Services
Colorectal Surgery
Surgical Associates provides comprehensive care of benign and malignant colorectal disease. We have worked with St Peter Hospital to develop a surgical home program to provide focused multidisciplinary care to patients starting the moment surgery for colon or rectal cancer is scheduled.
Breast Surgery
Our surgeons have many decades of combined experience in caring for patients with breast cancer as well as with benign breast conditions. We work to minimize the impact of surgical treatment on patients. Most patients can be managed with limited, breast conserving surgery.
Anti Reflux Surgery
We have extensive experience in the surgical treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and hiatal hernias. Most patients’ heartburn and other reflux symptoms resolve after fundoplication surgery. We perform complex robotic and laparoscopic surgery on the stomach and esophagus in the treatment of: Achalasia, hiatal hernia, paraesophageal hernia and Gist tumors.
Hernia Surgery
We manage the full range of hernias, from simple outpatient operations to complex abdominal wall reconstruction. Some hernias can be repaired with simple open surgery that can be performed with local anesthetic and sedation, avoiding general anesthesia. We use laparoscopic or robotic surgery where appropriate to minimize postoperative pain and speed recovery, to help our patients get back to the active lives they enjoy.
Minimally invasive surgery: Robotically and laparoscopic:
Since 1990, when Drs. Chris Griffith and Jim Reus performed one of the first laparoscopic cholecystectomies on the west coast, Surgical Associates has been at the forefront of minimally invasive surgery. We have vast experience with complex cases of acute and elective gallbladder surgery. We also performed the first robotic general and colorectal surgeries in Olympia.
Acute Care and Trauma Surgery
Our acute care surgery service has provided uninterrupted surgical coverage for our community 24 hours a day for 15 years. Our program is unique in its team approach and integration with the elective surgery practice. All our surgeons contribute to acute care and trauma coverage. We meet daily and review the plan of care for every patient together and work to provide a care plan that best suits each patient.
