Why Choose Our Orthopaedic Physicians?

Since the beginning, we have continually strived to become and remain the Center of Excellence for quality, comprehensive, full service musculoskeletal care in Southwest Washington. Our focus is on providing excellent care and improving the quality of life for people in the communities we serve.

Our sub-specialty programs include hand & wrist, elbow, shoulder, back/neck/spine, neuro, hip, knee, foot & ankle. Other services available are Pain Management, Sports Medicine, Podiatry, Physical Therapy, On-site Diagnostics and Outpatient Surgery, including Total Joint Replacement. We also provide 24-hour emergency on-call care through Providence St. Peter Hospital and Capital Medical Center and same-day/walk-in appointments at our Rapid Orthopaedic Care (ROC) Urgent Clinic.

Our History

In 1972, Dr. John Coker started the practice in a small office on Ensign Road in Olympia. He was joined two years later by Dr. Jerome H. Zechmann and a year later by Dr. Alan Roser. Dr. Kenneth Partlow III joined the practice in 1982, rounding out the group. In 1993 Dr. Jerome H. Zechmann retired and passed his practice to his son, Dr. Jerome P. Zechmann. Two years later Dr. Coker retired and Dr. Brodie Wood joined the team.

Over the first 50 years, we not only grew through physical expansion but also in services. The timeline chart shows a brief overview of our journey.
