"I feel blessed to be able to work full time focused on helping kids and young adults. I strive to provide the best care possible, and I appreciate the trust that families place on me and the team to look after their loved ones. Whether it’s for routine or unique situations I enjoy partnering with families taking them through care and following up over time. Providing surgical care for kids requires meticulous work because the outcome has an impact now and can last a lifetime."

  • Biography

    Dr. Raymond Tse is a Professor of Surgery at the University of Washington and is one of the most senior members of the Division of Craniofacial and Plastic Surgery at Seattle Children’s Hospital.  His focus is on the care of children with cleft lip and palate, congenital hand differences, brachial plexus palsies, and peripheral nerve injuries.  Although that engagement may seem diverse, each of those domains is united by the need for thoughtful decision making and attention to detail.  The cross-over of those domains provides unique perspectives and a broad skillset that helps with more challenging problems.  

    Dr. Tse is one of the few surgeons with dual fellowship training in Hand Surgery and Pediatric Plastic Surgery.  He started his training in Canada completing an undergraduate degree at Queen’s University and medical school at the University of Toronto.  He trained as a plastic surgeon at Western University followed by a hand fellowship at Stanford University and a pediatric plastic surgery fellowship at the Hospital for Sick Kids in Toronto.  

    As a researcher he has 100 publications and has been awarded “Best Paper” multiple times by both the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the American Association of Plastic Surgeons for the most impactful research in Plastic Surgery.  He is engaged in National Institutes of Health sponsored research and has collaborations with multiple institutions in the United States and Canada.

    Dr Tse is an internationally-recognized expert surgeon.  He is often invited as keynote speaker at national and international meetings and symposiums.  Other surgeons seek his help with difficult problems, and he has mentored other surgeons to raise the success and level of care at their respective centers.  

    At Seattle Children’s Hospital he has led the development of pathways and protocols that optimize care.  Those pathways have been used as templates by other major centers to improve care at their respective institutions.

    Once upon a time Dr. Tse boldly set off to raise the level of care at Seattle Children’s Hospital.  That mission remains unchanged and the effects have permeated nationally and internationally.
