About this business
My surgical practice teaches me that technical skill is the mastery of the complex. It takes years and a lot of listening and experience to understand the nuances of joint resurfacing and replacement surgery. Surgical technique is not a commodity that can be bought or sold. I look carefully at my outcomes and publish my results in peer reviewed journals. Survivorship of a patient and implant is not synonym for true wellness. Resumption of a completely autonomous lifestyle and return to all activities is the goal. My favorite... read more

Three separate surgeries...all outstanding results.
Dr. Pritchett has dedicated a large part of his life to advancing techniques, materials and skills to improve the lives of active people that are faced with the need for joint surgery. I was blessed to be one of his patients recently for hip resurfacing and I have no doubt I'll soon be back to my active lifestyle doing all the things I've enjoyed all my life. I feel a lucky that I came across him in my research and am very appreciative to have been one of his patients. The more I learn about him the more I am amazed with wha... read more
Terrible bedside manner. Rude and dismissive of your feelings. If you bring up concerns or fears he will say he doesn't care. I had to state multiple times BUT I DO CARE. He is cold hearted and pays no mind to the obvious discomfort of his patients. I regret choosing him for my surgeon and wouldn't recommend him to any of my loved ones. He also explained I would have a small incision and instead i woke up with a huge one, at least 12 in. This was for the superior approach THR. The simple same day discharge turned into a few ... read more
I had both knees (2010 /2013) and a right reverse shoulder replacement (2023) Extremely happy with the results!
Dr. Pritchett doesn’t seem to be a man of many words and is very modest, nevertheless, he answered all my questions, and I enjoyed conversing with him. He has an outstanding support team who has been top notch to help with the process and super easy to communicate with. My hip outcome has been excellent. Maybe I’m one of the unlucky statistical anomalies and my hip will soon fail. At least so far, the hip joint feels like my good natural hip and I have been able to resume all the activities I want to do. Dr. Pritchett and hi... read more
Dr. Pritchett performed a hip resurfacing operation on my in November of 2022. I people warned me that Dr. Pritchett is a cold and sour person who acts as if he can't be bothered to interact with patients, and that is definitely true. However, I wasn't too worried since I just wanted the operation and figured I didn't need bedside manner.However, unfortunately I have suffered a bunch of unexpected post surgical issues, with severe tendonitis rendering my hip less usable than before the surgery. Dr. Pritchett was and has been... read more
Dr. Pritchett did an excellent job with my hip resurfacing surgery. First of all, I appreciated all of the information available on his website which helped me make my decision. His assistant Susan was helpful and responsive. In our initial consultation Dr. Pritchett not only answered my questions but helped guide me on how to make such a difficult medical decision. On surgery day he was all business and 100% focused on my hip so he did not say much. However, the Swedish Hospital staff, my anesthesiologist and the rest of hi... read more
Long story short I found Dr. James Pritchett on a patients hip resurfacing experience website. Dr. Pritchett was the only surgeon near me that at the time had performed 1,500 resurfacing procedures. On 12/3/2012 the procedure was performed. Then on 12/9/2013 my left knee was replaced by him. Now 11 & 10 years later both joint replacements are working great. I ride bike 12 to 30 miles for cardio and have ridden the Crater Lake Rim Ride four years ago. I take care of a 46 acre farm with a home, barn and many outbuildings and a... read more
In December of 2007, Dr. Pritchett resurfaced my right hip. I have not had issue with it. The surgery was performed anteriorly through the glute. In December of 2020, I had him perform surgery to resurface my l left hip. It was done posteriorly through the hip area. Since the surgery, I have had problems. I have nerve damage and severe scar tissue. I have seen other 2 doctors about the issues. They stated the surgery was performed properly. After each visit, I received an email from Pritchett's office asking if I had issues ... read more
