Dr. Lohse has pioneered work in accelerated recovery after wrist fractures and performed cutting edge cartilage transplantation for the treatment of arthritis. 

He grew up in Indiana and received his bachelors of science in Mechanical Engineering, graduating with highest honors, from Purdue University. He went on to attend medical school at Northwestern University where he graduated Alpha Omega Alpha (highest honors). Dr. Lohse completed his orthopaedic surgery residency at the University of Washington before going onto subspecialty training in hand and upper extremity surgery at Vanderbilt University.

Dr. Lohse’s care philosophy is centered around education. He believes patients are best able to participate in their care when they thoroughly understand their problem and treatment options. Additionally, Dr. Lohse feels strongly that treatment must be individualized, as the same condition may affect two people very differently.

Dr. Lohse is one of only two hand surgeons on the eastside to be named “Top Doc” by Seattle Magazine, Seattle Met Magazine and Castle Connolly.

When not at work, Dr. Lohse enjoys spending time with this wife and three children. He steals away for a run when possible and otherwise enjoys skiing (snow and water), hiking and camping.
