Columbia Basin - Dr. Tuszynskis Story

Dr. Thomas Tuszynski at a Glance

Specialty

• General Surgery

Dr. Tuszynski left Seattle in 2000 for Wenatchee and has never looked back. At Confluence Health, he is surrounded by a group of excellent physicians who practice state of the art medicine and, as he says, are “at the top of their game”. To Dr. Tuszynski, a general surgeon now located in Moses Lake, a tremendous benefit to the patients is that many physicians are in the same building, or a phone call away. That means he is able to walk down the hall, talk with his partners, and come up with a game plan for his patients. After living in the “anonymity” of Seattle, Dr. Tuszynski appreciates the camaraderie and sense of community in Wenatchee and Moses Lake. He relishes “having the privilege and opportunity to sit down with patients and giving them a framework of hope”.
