The following is a release from EvergreenHealth:
EvergreenHealth has welcomed EvergreenHealth Urology Care to the health system’s network of specialty care practices. The interdisciplinary practice, which includes an outpatient surgery center, offers evaluation and treatment for a comprehensive range of urological and gynecological conditions, in addition to ambulatory surgical care, on-site diagnostic tests and medical imaging.
EvergreenHealth Urology Care, formerly the Kirkland-based practice of Washington Urology Associates, brings three board-certified urologists, Andrew Deck, M.D., Narender Sood, M.D., and Scott Van Appledorn, M.D., to the EvergreenHealth Medical Group. Together, they will lead urological patient care within specialties including incontinence treatment, bladder control treatments, prostate treatments, kidney treatments, cosmetic procedures, and other areas.
“As our system grows to meet the evolving needs of our community, we are pleased to welcome these skilled doctors, their clinical team, and staff to the EvergreenHealth system,” said EvergreenHealth CEO, Bob Malte. “Their history of providing quality urology care is well known, and we look forward to sharing their trusted expertise and leadership with the EvergreenHealth community and the patients we serve together.”
The skilled team of providers at EvergreenHealth Urology Care partners with patients, primary care providers and other specialists to provide exceptional, innovative and compassionate care, creating the best possible care and treatment plan for patients’ specific urology needs.
As part of its approach, the practice specializes in a range of minimally invasive procedures including a no-scalpel approach to vasectomies, vasectomy reversals using micro-surgical techniques, advanced robotic surgeries for prostate and kidney cancer, and shock wave lithotripsy to non-surgically disintegrate kidney stones. These ambulatory procedures typically allow patients to return to the comfort of their homes within the same day, with less pain and faster recovery times.
EvergreenHealth Urology Care will continue to see patients from the former Washington Urology Associates Kirkland location at 1911 NE 132nd St., Suite 200 in Kirkland. For more information about the practice, visit www.evergreenhealth.com/urology or call (425) 899-5800.
