Recognized Leaders
Northwest Orthopaedic Specialists’ board-certified providers and fellowship-trained surgeons provide transformative, compassionate surgical and conservative/non-surgical orthopedic care to patients throughout Spokane, Coeur d’Alene and the Pacific Northwest. Offices are conveniently located in Downtown Spokane, North Spokane and Spokane Valley. Highly-trained orthopedists hold the doctor/patient relationship in the highest regard and provide orthopedic care for injuries and trauma, sports medicine and interventional pain management.
- More than 8,000 orthopedic surgeries each year
- More than 5,500 interventional pain procedures each year
It is our mission, and our passion, to continue to provide the highest level of surgical and nonsurgical care focused completely on you—our patient.
Northwest Orthopaedic Specialists offers three NW Orthopaedic Express walk-in clinics to get you immediately treated by an orthopedic specialist: Spokane Valley, South Hill at 57th & Regal, and North Division at the Y.
ER visits are expensive and urgent care clinics don’t have orthopedic specialists on staff, so avoid the wait, hassle, and cost associated with alternative walk-in options, and come straight to us with no appointment necessary.

Patient Testimonial
“Very good experience. Doctor Wallace explained things very well and was easy to talk to. Kelli has been a great help to my wife in setting up and changing appointments and is a very compassionate yet professional person to work with. I wish our primary care office was this well run!”

NWOS and Orthopaedic Surgery Center Remain Open
Governor Inslee has announced a halt to elective surgeries due to rising COVID-19 cases. The governor's announcement applies to hospital surgical cases, but it does not apply to outpatient orthopedic surgical cases scheduled at the NWOS Ambulatory Surgery Center. The Surgery Center, as well as all NWOS Clinics and Express Walk-In Clinics, are open.
13 Years of Exceptional Orthopedic Care
After 13 years of providing well-deserved relief to patients suffering from acute and chronic pain, it is with mixed emotions that we announce the retirement of Northwest Orthopaedic Specialists physician, Joshua Dawley, MD.
When Your Doctor Has to Say No, NWOS Can Say Yes
The COVID‐19 pandemic has altered almost everything about our lives. In health care, clinics, hospitals, and surgical centers are often short‐staffed, or overcrowded caring for COVID patients. This has forced many people to delay surgeries and treatment of orthopedic injuries and conditions, adding painful or debilitating waiting to an already stressful situation.
