A complete approach to recovery
I know from personal experience as a surgeon and as a patient that injuries, even minor ones, create a sense of frustration and loss. We suffer more when we don’t know exactly what’s wrong with us and what can be done to help us recover. I am committed to helping you fully understand your diagnosis and the best options for treatment. Great care starts with establishing trust. How can I earn your trust? By listening carefully to you and developing an understanding of who you are and what you hope to accomplish in your activities, sports, work and personal life.
My goal is to know you in the wholeness of your life and direct a complete approach to your recovery.
I care about you, not just your shoulder, hip or knee.
Surgery is not usually the first option, but I won’t ask you to wait when it is the best decision.
You and I will work together, with the help of great physical therapists, nutritionists, and consultants to get you back to the joy of healthy, pain-free motion and all of your goals and activities.

Dr. Dewing did my labrum repair on my right shoulder. Besides being a great surgeon, he is one of a kind; an awesome and vibrant person. He engages with patients with an authenticity that forces one to see his true self before seeing him as a surgeon. Dr. Dewing treats his patients like family. He is interested in you as a person and not just as a patient. He is so kind and devoted. He is the best doctor I have ever had.”

“Dr. Dewing was a pleasure to work with and got me back on the football field in no time at all. My senior season was in question after a serious ankle injury, but after he performed a successful surgery, I was able to go on and have one of the best rushing seasons in Eastern Washington Football history. I am so thankful for everything that he did and there is no way I could’ve done it without him!”

As an active athlete and martial artist, it was heartbreaking to learn that my knee had suffered a large amount of damage. Dr. Dewing laid out the options honestly, and he painted a clear picture of his repair plan. After surgery, when things didn't feel right, he took my words to heart and worked with me to get the assistance I needed. I would absolutely recommend his services.”

My experience with Dr. Dewing and his staff was beyond amazing. He is the most nurturing physician of any specialty I have ever met! He comforted me through the entire process of my hip surgery including the aftercare. I picked Dr. Dewing based on his track record. I knew of his surgical skills but had no idea how wonderful of a human being he is too. 5 stars for Dr. Dewing!”
