“We strive to offer our patients the most advanced, state-of-the-art treatments and procedures right here in Olympia,” said Olympia Orthopaedic Associations physician Stephen Snow, MD. “Outpatient joint replacements are the wave of the future.”

The outpatient joint replacement program at Olympia Surgery Center allows patients to recover at home with reduced infection risk and lower costs. Olympia Orthopaedic Associates have 21 physicians focused on joint replacement, neurosurgery, pain management, trauma, general orthopedics and physical medicine and rehabilitation.

Olympia surgeons continue to offer same-day and next-day joint replacements in the hospital setting as well as the ASC.
