Christy Caple, PA-C

Christy believes firmly that how a person is treated—not just the words spoken—leaves the most lasting impression. Much of her career as a physical therapist assistant was dedicated to educating patients and empowering them to take an active role in their rehabilitation. Over the course of ten years in physical therapy, she helped individuals of all ages recover from a wide range of injuries and surgeries, including sports and workplace injuries, total joint replacements, rotator cuff repairs, and spinal cord injuries.

Through her work in physical therapy, she developed a strong desire to become more deeply involved in the orthopedic care continuum. The role of physician assistant proved to be the ideal fit. She graduated from MEDEX Northwest, the Physician Assistant Program at the University of Washington, and has since found her professional home at Washington Orthopaedic Center.

Christy is an avid Seattle Seahawks and Seattle Mariners fan.  She enjoys playing softball, kayaking, boating, camping and being an Aunt to her numerous nieces and nephews.  Christy recently adopted her dog, Buck.  He loves playing at the local dog park and going to the beach.
