Experience

Dr. Michael Codsi is a fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon specializing in shoulder and elbow repair. During his orthopedic residency, Dr. Codsi learned how to perform joint replacement and tendon/ligament repairs from the surgeons who invented the procedures. During his fellowship, he spent three years researching the biomechanics of shoulder implants, the biology of tendon healing and the outcomes of complex shoulder reconstructions. That work was eventually was awarded a Cleveland Clinic Innovations award. Since moving to the Seattle area, Dr. Codsi has continued his research on rotator cuff repairs and he helps educate clinicians, therapists and patients with educational seminars. He completed a rotator cuff repair study with 13 other study centers around the country, the results of which were published in two orthopedic surgery journals. Dr. Codsi is also a team doctor for the Everett Aquasox minor league baseball team.

Clinical Expertise

Shoulder conditions: rotator cuff tears, biceps tendon tears, impingement syndrome, rotator cuff tendonitis, shoulder instability, shoulder fractures, clavicle fractures, shoulder separations, shoulder replacement, shoulder arthritis
Elbow conditions: tennis elbow, biceps tears, elbow arthroscopy

Philosophy of Care

Some conditions have simple, straightforward treatments while other have multiple treatment options that require an understanding of the risks and benefits of each treatment. That's why I work really hard to make sure you understand exactly what's wrong with your shoulder and thoroughly understand the treatment plan we discussed.
I make sure you understand your options before offering my advice about which option to choose. I like to think patients appreciate my care because I make them feel confident that they are getting the best treatment that will help them get back to their normal activities.

When Dr Codsi arrived to talk to me, he said he only had a few minutes. I felt very rushed getting through my list of questions with him. Dr Codsi did his best to be friendly and informative in the very little time that he had.

Dr. Codsi was kind, friendly, and seemed to genuinely care about me. However, the visit felt rushed. I didn't have much time to process what he was saying to think about any follow up questions. I wanted to know about the problem with my body in more detail.

Dr. Codsi is one of the VERY BEST of my many specialists in the Evergreen network. His style is unique in that he always greets me with a welcoming smile, pulls a chair close, and asks a few questions about, "How's it going" in my life in general, then gets down to business with the reason for my appointment. He answers all my questions in 'plain-speak' and I never feel rushed. Thank you Dr. Codsi!
