Christopher J. Wahl, MD

Christopher J. Wahl, MD is an orthopedic surgeon in Issaquah, Washington, practicing sports medicine and providing surgical care to elite and recreational athletes in the Seattle area. He works alongside his wife as a husband-and-wife surgical team. His practice is based at Swedish Issaquah, where the check-in desk and waiting room for surgery are on the first floor in the Olympic Wing. The campus offers free parking in an underground garage and in the Cascade and Olympic parking lots on the east and west sides of the campus. For patients preparing for knee replacement, free orthopedic seminars are held on the first and third Wednesday of every month at 11 a.m. in the first floor conference room by the North entrance, with registration required. Patients preparing for surgery are asked to review the Preparing for Surgery Patient Handbook, stop eating solid foods and drinking opaque liquids eight hours before their scheduled arrival time, and stop all liquids two hours before arrival. They should arrange for a responsible adult to drive them home, and bring a photo ID, insurance card, a list of current medications and allergies, and any needed equipment such as crutches, a sling, a brace, or an ice machine.

The practice sits on 8th Ave NE in Issaquah, about a tenth of a mile from Swedish Issaquah hospital and roughly the same distance from Proliance Highlands Surgery Center. Highlands Drive Northeast and 9th Avenue are both within about two tenths of a mile, as are the public artworks Sitka Alder and Western Geranium.

Dr. Wahl holds a rating of 5.00 from the customers who have reviewed him, reflecting the positive feedback his patients have given.
