Some people have the kind of professional career dreams are made of. They plan, work hard, succeed, help people along the way, then retire to devote themselves to the next phase…wherever and whatever that may be. For Dr. L. Anthony Agtarap, Olympia Orthopaedic Associates (OlyOrtho) has been his home away from home since 1997. He was hired directly out of medical training and closes out his orthopaedic surgical career on December 31, 2024.
