Spine Surgeon — MultiCare Orthopedics Northwest, Yakim

Mohamed J.H. Al-Amoodi, MD, is a fellowship-trained orthopedic spine surgeon specializing in the surgical and non-surgical management of spinal conditions across all ages. His practice spans the full spectrum of spine care, including degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, deformity, trauma, and tumor.

Dr. Al-Amoodi’s path to spine surgery began in engineering. He earned his Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering, Biomedical Option, with Distinction from the University of Alberta, before completing his medical degree at the George Washington University School of Medicine & Health Sciences in Washington, D.C. He went on to complete his orthopedic surgery residency at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, a leading quaternary spine referral center, followed by a dedicated fellowship in spine surgery at the University of California San Francisco.

With expertise spanning trauma, degenerative conditions, tumor, and deformity in both adult and pediatric patients, Dr. Al-Amoodi is trained in 360° approaches to every level of the spine, using open and minimally invasive techniques — including tubular and endoscopic approaches — along with freehand, navigated, and robotic instrumentation. His surgical expertise includes cervical and lumbar disc replacement; anterior, lateral, and posterior fusion techniques (ACDF, ALIF, TLIF, XLIF, OLIF); SI joint fusion; and the full spectrum of osteotomies for deformity correction, including SPO, PSO and VCR.

An engineer at heart, Dr. Al-Amoodi brings a methodical, detail-driven approach to spine care, paired with a strong commitment to clear communication and shared decision-making. His research — spanning adult spinal deformity biomechanics, spine trauma outcomes, and orthopedic genetics — has resulted in numerous peer-reviewed publications and national and international conference presentations. His goal is to help every patient return to the activities they love as safely and efficiently as possible.
