    Really great experience with clinician. Not great experience with the gruff x-ray tech. It was unpleasant but manageable.

    It was wonderful that Dr. Byrnes reviewed my MRI results prior to my arrival. He had a clear understanding of my challenges and clearly defined a path forward.

    I provided the medical information due to the fact that it was preformed by another facility not associated with Optum.

  • About Thomas Byrnes, MD

    My clinical focus is getting people back to the activities they enjoy. This includes comprehensive management of sports, traumatic, and degenerative injuries with a focus on the shoulder and knee. I perform both arthroscopic and open surgery. My passion for activity and my desire to help others led me to orthopedic surgery. I love the Pacific Northwest and spending time outdoors with my family - hiking, skiing, getting out on the water. I am a dedicated Seahawks, Mariners and Kraken fan.

    Philosophy of care

    I want to meet patients where they are and understand their health goals. Working together, we can develop the best treatment for their needs. While there are many common injuries we see, there is no 'one-size-fits-all' treatment plan.
