About Christopher N. Hein

He endorses a collaborative approach to treating a broad spectrum of upper extremity conditions including arthritis, nerve injury, nerve compression, trauma, stiffness, and overuse injuries.

Dr. Hein has also been selected by both Seattle Magazine and Seattle Met Magazine as a Top Doctor. “My desire to learn more about medicine and the human body was sparked by an experience during a dissection in a college biology lab. We were separating pacemaker cells from cardiac muscle, and I remember being awestruck because the pacemaker cells kept beating even though they were no longer connected to the heart. This was elegant and fascinating to me, and set me on a path that led to multiple volunteer opportunities which solidified my course for a career in medicine.”

When I had to go to this new provider, I had seen him in the hallway and spoke with him and it was very nice so when I got to meet him one on one where he's telling me about the situation that I have it was very pleasant to chat with him he made it very, very understandable And I was very happy that I had him as my doctor for that appointment

Dr. Hein explained my condition and my options of care. I saw him before for another matter and am glad I was able to see him again for a new problem. I trust and respect his ability to treat me.
