Why Proliance Surgeons?

Proliance Surgeons, Inc. was established on January 1, 2002, through the merger of Surgical Associates of Washington (SAW) and Orthopedic Consultants of Washington (OCW). OCW was founded in the fall of 1993, formed by seven independent orthopedic groups and began operations in January 1994. SAW was formed in the fall of 1997, bringing together eight general surgery centers and started operations in January 1998. Today, Proliance Surgeons has grown to over 400 providers, including more than 160 board-certified surgeons, in over 90 locations, helping more than 800,000 patients every year achieve their healthcare goals.

Physician-led and Proudly Independent

We are a team of independent, small business owners. Every center has a unique identity because we manage our Care Center and our patients’ care in the way we feel is best, not based on the rules of a large healthcare system. While we are all independent, we are united in our dedication to providing exceptional outcomes, personally delivered.

Managing Complex Care Needs

Patients come to us when they need specific care, such as orthopedics, ENT, general surgery, ophthalmology, plastic surgery and more. We are a group of specialists and surgeons with advanced knowledge in our areas of medicine, treating complex care needs for our patients. If surgery becomes necessary for you, we perform more than 68,000 surgeries and procedures a year.

Our Ambulatory Surgery Centers

Our ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) provide a valuable alternative to hospitals for outpatient, same-day surgeries, offering several benefits. Patients can access a wider range of surgery options, allowing for faster scheduling and quicker recovery times. ASCs often employ minimally invasive techniques, which not only speed up recovery but also reduce pain and lower the risk of complications. These centers are typically more cost-effective than hospitals, thanks to their focus on outpatient procedures, leading to potential savings on medical expenses and insurance costs. However, ASCs are best suited for those without serious health concerns, making it essential to discuss all options with a physician. 

Timely Healthcare at Your Convenience

At Proliance Surgeons, we pride ourselves on providing quick and convenient access to the care you need. Most individuals don’t need a referral to see our specialists, allowing you to receive expert care without unnecessary delays. We offer same or next-day appointments, ensuring timely attention to your health concerns. Additionally, our Orthopedic Urgent Care locations are available to address your urgent needs promptly. Your health and convenience are our top priorities.

Committing to Transparent Pricing

Proliance Surgeons offers transparent pricing, allowing patients to estimate healthcare costs upfront and avoid surprise charges. This is particularly beneficial for individuals with high insurance deductibles, out-of-network insurance, or no coverage. The self-pay packages include comprehensive care and eliminate the need for insurance claims, offering cost-effective and straightforward payment options. Patients can purchase packages online and manage their expenses effectively while receiving high-quality care.
