Meet Our Specialists
Dr. Ryan Burklund, a fellowship-trained pain medicine specialist, will perform interventional pain management procedures at the new surgery center. Dr. Burklund earned his medical degree from The University of Arizona College of Medicine and completed his residency in Anesthesiology at The University of Arizona, followed by a Pain Medicine Fellowship at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center. "We are committed to advancing the field of pain management by using the latest techniques and technologies," says Dr. Burklund. "Our goal is to help patients regain their quality of life and reduce their dependence on medications through precise, minimally invasive procedures. The opening of this new surgery center allows us to provide these vital services to even more patients in the Spokane Valley community."
Dr. Anthony Sestero, a fellowship-trained orthopaedic hand surgeon, will perform WALANT hand and wrist surgeries.

Stern Hand Surgery Fellowship at Hand Surgery Specialists, Inc., in Cincinnati, Ohio. Dr. Sestero shares, "I am thrilled to bring the WALANT technique to our new Ambulatory Surgery Center.
