Why Choose Swedish?

Research shows that hospitals performing the most surgical procedures have the best outcomes. Each year, Swedish Orthopedic Institute performs more than 5,000 orthopedic procedures. This experience and the consistent, excellent outcomes have earned Swedish the distinction of being the region's premier surgical hospital and one of the foremost orthopedic centers in the nation.

Swedish was also designated by the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association as a Blue Distinction Center for hip and knee replacement and spine surgery. Blue Distinction centers have demonstrated better overall outcomes with fewer medical complications, fewer readmissions and higher survival rates. 

World-class Experience

At the heart of what sets Swedish apart are exceptionally skilled board-certified orthopedic surgeons. Many Swedish surgeons are nationally or internationally known and have pioneered some of the leading-edge instruments and techniques now used worldwide. They annually perform thousands of inpatient and outpatient orthopedic surgeries, from the simplest to the most complex, for adults and children.
