    If I ever moved away from Washington State I would make a special trip to have this Dr perform any kind of surgery that I required over any other surgeon. Absolutely amazing surgeon

    Very impressed with Dr. Drosdeck. I always come prepared to Dr. Appointments with pertinent information that I believe the Dr. Will need and with pertinent questions. It was so refreshing to find that Dr. Drosdeck was way ahead of me. He had done his research on me and reviewed everything with me, covering all the things I had ready to share, plus more. He pulled up images of what he would be addressing and walked me through why and how we needed to move forward. I was able to relax, knowing I was in good hands

    Dr had already made up his mind before I came in that I would not be treated for my condition. He could have skipped the visit and just put the denial up on my chart. It would have saved me a trip.

    Doctor Drosdeck provided excellent communication and provided thorough examination of my incision site. We were able to determine the infection I was experiencing was minor and had a high probability of clearing with the antibiotic I had previously been prescribed. Dr. Drosdeck reminded me to call if there were any additional symptoms or if I felt more antibiotics were needed to continue healing. Thank you!

  • About Joseph Drosdeck, MD FACS

    Nothing pleases me more than helping patients resolve a medical problem and attain a better quality of life. I treat my patients the way I would like to be treated and believe clear, effective communication is as important as providing expert medical advice. I have specialty training in minimally invasive abdominal surgery and apply minimally invasive techniques to surgical disorders of the esophagus, stomach, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, adrenal glands, small and large intestine, and abdominal wall.

    Philosophy of care

    I strive to create a partnership with patients and their family that utilizes open communication and joint-decision making to develop evidence-based, personalized treatment plans.
