Overlake Medical Center & Clinics is pleased to announced it has been recognized by Healthgrades as among the nation’s top 10% for outpatient joint replacement care and achieved five-star ratings in three major service areas, including: carotid artery surgery (three years in a row), gastrointestinal surgery (four years in a row), and outpatient total hip replacement (two years in a row) and outpatient joint replacement.

As variation in performance among hospitals continues to grow, it is increasingly important for consumers to seek care at top-rated programs. Healthgrades’ 2025 analysis revealed that if all hospitals as a group performed similarly to five-star hospitals during the 2021-2023 study period, on average, 224,958 lives could potentially have been saved and 141,692 complications could possibly have been avoided.*Healthgrades also found that patients treated at hospitals with nationally recognized outpatient programs have a demonstrably better chance of a positive outcome than those treated at hospitals that were not recognized for outpatient excellence.

“Healthgrades commends Overlake for their clear commitment to delivering consistently superior patient outcomes in critical service areas,” says Brad Bowman, MD, chief medical officer and head of data science at Healthgrades. “Overlake’s leadership, expertise, and unwavering dedication to clinical excellence set a high mark for specialty care in Washington state and nationwide.”
