About Frederic Washburn, DO
About Frederic Washburn, DO
Education
Originally from Rochester, New York, Dr. Frederic Washburn's medical training has taken him all over the country. He earned his bachelor's degree in Biology from St. Lawrence University before moving to Phoenix to attend medical school at Midwestern University. He went on to complete his Orthopaedic Surgery residency in Southern California at Community Memorial Health System. Dr. Washburn then pursued advanced fellowship training in Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Surgery under Dr. Anish Kadakia at Northwestern Medicine in Chicago.
Research
Dr. Washburn has a passion for solving complex problems through small incisions whenever possible. His research has focused on minimally invasive and arthroscopic surgery, ankle instability, trauma, deformity correction, and complex reconstruction. He has authored numerous peer-reviewed publications and presented his work nationally through the American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS). He believes that minimally invasive techniques, when appropriate, can minimize pain, reduce recovery time, and help patients return to the activities they love sooner.
Clinical Care
Above all, Dr. Washburn is dedicated to providing compassionate, individualized care. He believes every patient deserves to understand their diagnosis and treatment options and works closely with each person to develop a plan that aligns with their goals. His mission is simple: help patients get back to doing what they love with less pain and greater confidence.
Dr. Washburn will see patients at MarinHealth Clinics in San Rafael and Novato, and will also operate at MarinHealth Medical Center in Greenbrae and the UCSF Orthopaedic Institute.
Outside of medicine, Dr. Washburn enjoys spending time outdoors and traveling with his wife, daughter, and their poodle. He also enjoys golfing, traveling, and maintaining an active lifestyle.
