Greta Bernier, MD, is a board-certified colon & rectal surgeon with expertise in robotic and advanced minimally invasive surgery. She is often asked why she chose this specialty. She chose colon & rectal surgery because of her desire to care for a wide spectrum of diseases, from cancer to inflammatory bowel disease to anorectal disease, and because of her commitment to advanced minimally-invasive and robotic surgery. She is always looking for ways to improve our care of patients and their outcomes, and is dedicated to continually updating her skills.

Dr. Bernier went to medical school and general surgery residency at University of Washington. She then traveled to Tampa to complete her fellowship in colon & rectal surgery at University of South Florida. She returned to the Pacific Northwest as a surgeon at University of Washington Medical Center and Seattle Cancer Care Alliance before bringing her practice to UW Medicine - Valley Medical Center. She is excited to be a part of this community of caring providers and wonderful patients.

In her spare time Dr. Bernier enjoys spending time with her family, including her husband and two daughters, and her friends. She particularly enjoys skiing, camping, anything that involves being on the water, and rooting for our Seattle Seahawks!
