Dr. Nicholas “Nick” Duletzke is a fellowship trained critical care surgeon. His focus is on trauma and emergency surgery. An Oregon native, he received both his M.D. and his fellowship training from Oregon Health & Sciences University and completed his surgery residency at University of Utah. “There is something about the rapid decision-making, triaging and evaluating with trauma; it pushes you to deliver your best at any given time,” shares Dr. Duletzke. “I always aim to provide the best possible care to ill and injured patients. Together we can help, heal and allow our patients to maximize their quality of life.” Away from work, Dr. Duletzke enjoys spending time with his wife, daughter and son. They enjoy taking advantage of the outdoors in the Pacific Northwest, whether that’s hiking, skiing, biking, kayaking or grilling with the family.
