About James W. Pritchett

I've dedicated my career to improving quality of life through reconstructive surgery by searching for solutions for bone and joint problems through research. I've also pioneered minimally-invasive surgical techniques. I'm the most experienced surgeon in the Northwest in Joint Resurfacing Procedures. I performed the first robotically assisted hip replacement and have the most experience with outpatient joint implant surgery in our area. I offer metal free alternatives to hip joint implant surgery. We offer joint implants capable of adventure sports. Dr. Pritchett has also been selected as a, "Top Doctor" by Seattle Met Magazine.
