About Orthopaedic Center - Olympia
Washington Orthopaedic Center (WOC) is a multi‑location orthopedic practice serving Centralia, Olympia and Elma in Western Washington. Founded in 1973 by Dr. Larry Hull, the practice combines a Christian‑based mission of compassionate care with cutting‑edge orthopedic technology. Its physicians are board‑certified orthopedic surgeons who teach, volunteer internationally and serve as official providers for the U.S. Ski Team. The practice emphasizes rapid, same‑day surgery, cost‑effective outpatient care, and a patient‑first environment that includes tele‑radiology and an on‑call physician 24 hours a day. WOC offers a full spectrum of orthopedic services ranging from sports‑injury evaluation and treatment, arthroscopic procedures, and fracture management to advanced joint‑replacement techniques, including robotic‑arm assisted total knee and hip replacements with the Stryker Mako system. Specialized foot and ankle surgery, hand surgery, and bunionplasty are performed by dedicated surgeons, while an in‑house MRI and an ambulatory surgery center provide convenient, same‑day diagnostic and operative care. The practice also runs targeted programs for arthritis, osteoporosis, and platelet‑rich plasma injections to address chronic musculoskeletal conditions. The collaborative team of surgeons, physician assistants, nurses and support staff works closely with patients to develop individualized treatment plans, provide thorough education, and ensure smooth transitions from pre‑operative evaluation through post‑operative rehabilitation. With a focus on high medical standards, ethical practice and responsive service, Washington Orthopaedic Center strives to restore patients to an active, pain‑free life.
