First day back from vacation - and right back at it. 🎥

Today looked a little different than the usual clinic or OR day. We had the opportunity to film a new commercial for Proliance Surgeons, and here’s a little behind-the-scenes sneak peek.

One of the things I value most about being part of Proliance is that it remains physician-led and proudly independent - something that has become increasingly uncommon in healthcare. That structure keeps physicians close to the decisions that matter and, most importantly, keeps the focus where it belongs: on our patients.

Proliance’s mission is to provide world-class patient care to our communities through physician-led healthcare, and that commitment to excellence continues to push me to raise the bar for the orthopedic care we provide - not only in the Seattle area, but for patients throughout Washington State. (⁠Proliance Surgeons)

I’m excited to see the final production come together.

A huge thank you to the Proliance marketing team and to ⁠Skyler Stever and his team for the creativity, professionalism, and opportunity to tell our story.

Back from vacation. Recharged. And ready for a big week ahead.

Annual Gulf Islands family boat trip in the books! ⚓️🌊☀️

A week packed with exactly what summer should be — family time, beaches, secret little islands, anchoring in beautiful coves, exploring by dinghy,
seals, crabs, great food, and plenty of adventures along the way.

This trip was extra special. ❤️ I got to celebrate 17 years of marriage with my best friend and wife, Natasha, and we finished the adventure celebrating our daughter’s birthday. 🎂

These are the weeks that make the best memories. Grateful for the time together, the incredible PNW we get to explore, and another amazing family adventure.

Batteries recharged — literally and figuratively. 😂🔋

Now back home and ready to get back to work. Big week ahead! 💪

🎥 New Surgical Technique Video: All-Knotless MPFL Reconstruction

Innovation continues to drive better surgery.

In this video, I demonstrate my updated all-onlay MPFL reconstruction technique using the Arthrex 2.6 mm Knotless FiberTak anchors for patellar fixation.

💡 Why this technique?

✅ Smaller patellar tunnels - helping preserve bone and potentially reducing the risk of iatrogenic fracture.

✅ All-knotless fixation - eliminating knot stacks while providing secure graft fixation

✅ Efficient surgical workflow - faster fixation with a streamlined, reproducible technique.

For patients with recurrent patellar instability, the goal is the same: restore stability while minimizing surgical morbidity. Advances in implant technology continue to help us perform less invasive, more anatomic reconstructions without compromising fixation.

🎥 Check out the surgical video and let me know your thoughts on this technique!

Medical Moment: Avoiding Sports Injuries

As a parent or guardian, it can be intimidating to know how to keep a young athlete healthy and active. A lot of kids are now playing the same sport year-round, including multiple sports teams in the same season.

Lower Trapezius Transfer

When a massive rotator cuff tear can't be fixed the conventional way, there's another option.

Dr. Garcia performs Lower Trapezius Transfer, an advanced procedure that uses a muscle from the back (the lower trapezius) to restore shoulder function. A donor tendon is also used to connect the muscle to the shoulder.

This procedure is designed for patients who:
✅ Have a large rotator cuff tear that cannot be repaired directly
✅ Have not had success with other treatments
✅ Want to restore arm function and reduce pain

The goal is to give the shoulder more natural movement and strength — so you can get back to doing what matters.
