Expert Care, Close to Home

We help make your care as convenient as possible, from on-site diagnostic testing to an outpatient surgery center next to our Bellevue clinic. That means you can have your testing, treatment and any necessary surgical procedures all in the same place. Our patients often say their favorite thing about Overlake is that they receive the latest care from expert physicians, in a small, easy to navigate health system.

Board-certified Doctors with Specialized Training

When you come to Overlake for urology care, you’ll be in expert hands. All of our doctors and physician assistants are board-certified in their specialties, and many have advanced (fellowship) training. If needed, you’ll have access to doctors with specialized training within urology, such as urogynecologists, who specialize in pelvic floor disorders.

Several of our doctors have experience as medical school professors and researchers, working to both train the next generation of urology providers and advance patient care through research.

Experts in Different Specialties Working Together

Our urology and urogynecology team bring together expertise from several fields of medicine, providing comprehensive care. From nonsurgical treatments and pelvic floor rehabilitation to complex surgeries, our team provides tailored care to help you live your best life.

Overlake partners with Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center (formerly Seattle Cancer Care Alliance), to give you access to expert medical oncologists. Through this partnership, you may be eligible to participate in clinical trials that offer groundbreaking cancer treatments.
