Bio
Dr. Rogers graduated with Honors from the University Of Washington School Of Medicine in 1980, and was named to the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Society. He completed his residency training in Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Washington in 1984. He joined the Everett Clinic in 1988 after serving in the US Air Force for four years. Since 2006, Dr. Rogers has limited his practice to gynecology. He has particular interest and expertise in minimally invasive surgical treatments for abnormal uterine bleeding, fibroids, and other benign female pelvic disorders. Since 2006 Dr. Rogers has introduced a number of state-of-the-art minimally invasive procedures into the Everett medical community including laparoscopic hysterectomy, robotic (da Vinci) hysterectomy, and office endometrial ablation for abnormally heavy periods. He enjoys spending his free time engaged in family and church activities. His hobbies include boating and skiing, and he is a longtime fan of UW football and other college sports.
