Dr. Lorimer is known for his innovative approach to foot and ankle care. He blends decades of experience with cutting-edge treatments, being one of the first providers in the area to offer many new procedures including minimally invasive bunion surgery. He remains at the forefront of the field, regularly pursuing advanced training in complex foot and ankle surgery to offer his patients the latest, most effective solutions for their conditions.
Raised in Casper, Wyoming, Dr. Lorimer initially pursued education in vocal music before a required biology class changed the trajectory of his life. Captivated by anatomy, and physiology, he shifted his focus to medicine. His wife, a Registered Nurse, shares his passion for healthcare. Together, they enjoy spending time with their four married children, their spouses, and their ten grandchildren.
Dr. Lorimer enjoys attending Seattle Sounder matches, long bicycle rides and backpacking in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. Later in life, he took up running and has since completed numerous 5K and half marathon races. Dr. Lorimer and his family cherish the natural beauty of the region, from its majestic mountains and forests to its iconic waterways—and yes, even the rain.
I saw Dr Lorimer regarding pain in my right foot. I had seen another doctor with no results. Dr Lorimer was extremely good at showing me examples of different diagnoses and has ordered an MRI which will show everything.
Dr Lorimer was patient, thoughtful and he took his time to explain everything to me. He also listened well and made space for my questions.
Very professional and very friendly
He was absolutely the BEST!!
Clearly explains the surgical procedure, causes, prevention, and options. I am thrilled with the pre-op, surgical, and post-op experiences with Dr. Lorimer.
Dr. Lorimer is an amazing doctor. He caught my fracture in 30 seconds when urgent care and their radiology team didn’t see anything. Also one of his MAs, Teagan, is such a kind and helpful MA.
Very down to earth, common sense approach to treatment options, and a good listener.
Professional, knowledgeable and helpful
I'm not sure how to feel. Seems knowledgeable, kind, and showed me my X-rays. Basically told me my only wise option is ankle fusion. That differs from what I have been told in the past, but maybe he's right?
Good listener. Very helpful.
