James W. Pritchett, MD

Dr Pritchett was recommended for left hip replacement. He only spent 3-4 minutes with me, his phone buzzed & off he went. I only got to ask 2 of MANY questions about surgery. Doc did not discuss my concerns, nor the surgical procedure, etc. I discovered it's a day surgery & a torn tendon can't be repaired, so I might limp thereafter. It left me with many questions & concerns and the experience was like a factory production.

Dr. Pritchett is a superb physician whose assessment of injuries and discussion of treatment options demonstrates his extensive experience with even very complex cases. Further, he treats patients with an abundance of respect and dignity; he Is articulate, direct, and friendly.

Dr. Pritchett is no doubt a world class orthopedics surgeon, with one of a kind experience in hip resurfacing. That's why I scheduled the appointment. What turned me off was him telling me he took no Interest In whether I achieve my goals post op, or not. He said he would do a good job doing the surgery, but post of he Is not Interested to support any goals I might have.

Excellent provider!

Fantastic physician

Dr Pritchett give me his full attention, answered my questions thoroughly, and I know he has the expertise to do my surgery well.

Excellent care

All good so far. Saw Dr Pritchett originally for TKR surgery and visited this time for follow up concerning patella tracking issue in that knee. He advised how to treat it.

My care provider is excellent Doctor. Thank you Dr. James Pritchett

Thank You, Dr. Pritchett You are Amazing.God Bless You, Sir!!

I received prompt, excellent care and explanation of procedure, post operative care and expectations & cautions for my surgery.

Capable and competent

Dr. James Pritchit is best at what does on the west coast if not the country. Im thankful to have him as my Dr.

Thus far , my recovery seems to be on track and I'll be returning to work shortly.

My doctor and nurse where very nice and made me feel comfortable.

Pritchett is one of only two Orthopedic Surgeons I've found in the Seattle area competent to do resurface work. His focus on positive outcome for for me as a patient is really appreciated.

Dr. Pritechet is extremely knowledgeable and was able to explain to me more about my condition (FAI) and options for treatment. I will definitely see Dr. Pritchett again in the future to assess the viability of hip resurfacing.

Evaluation of onset knee problems and medical plan. Discussed options for treatment of shoulder joint if condition worsen and pain level intolerable. Very open and clear guidance.

I wish Dr. Prichett spends more time answering questions.

Dr Pritchett is respectful , knowledgeable and professional. I am here satisfied with the care I received from him and would go again. Thank you Dr Pritchett.

Being that I'd previously had a similar procedure, I would rate Dr. Pritchard and the procedure he and his Team provided as easily being 50% less invasive!

I felt comfortable after talking with Dr Pritchett regarding the procedure and his reputation.

Pritchett is one of a kind. Very caring and responsive.

I have been a patient of Dr. Pritchett for about 15 yrs. He is an EXCELLENT, caring Orthopedic physician and knows my health issues. His whole staff are exceptional, too.

Really appreciated the time Dr. Pritchett spent succinctly explaining how my case may/may not be a fit for hip resurfacing. I came loaded with questions and patiently provided answers I could understand.

I was impressed how both the doctor and RN were familiar with my case when I met with them. I felt like they were both very prepared for my appointment.

Dr. Pritchett is the absolute best provider I have ever seen. He and his entire staff are second to none in terms of care, responsiveness, quality and knowledge.

Incredibly knowledgeable

My care provider was extremely kind and supportive and explained that everyone's healing process is different. From the very start to my last visit I felt like I was in good hands

Could not ask for a more competent, caring provider than Dr. Pritchett

Dr. Pritchett spent a lot of time with my answering all my questions. He helped me understand a lot about my current knee problem.

Pritchett is a cool guy to talk to and an excellent surgeon

Dr. Pritchett and his staff are the best. He is one of the best surgeons I've encountered or heard about. He is someone I have referred friends to for care. Many thanks to him.

Dr Pritchett special

He was very attentive to my concerns and provided excellent feedback. My provider was extremely knowledgable and took a holistic approach, which I really appreciate.

I believe the minimal issues in communication encountered in setting up this first visit with Dr. Pritchett were due to the distance (from New Jersey to Seattle) and certainly did not bear on the excellent visit I had with the doctor. Looking forward to continuing the relationship.

It's all good

Swedish has only supported me for surgeons and surgery for replacing both knees, and now preparations for replacing my left hip, expected to be late January 2026. All contact and services provided by Swedish have been outstanding!

Excellent video consultation. Very detailed. Answered all the questions I asked. I want to have the surgery we discussed.

Dr. Pritchett has performed three successful joint replacements for me. One more to go. I have total trust in his ability and care. It has been amazing to see the improvements and changes in procedures over the last 12 years. Love his nurse Susan too!

It was a good experience.

Dr Pritchett and his assistant are great!Thanks!

All of the providers at swedish have been great

Dr Pritchett is a rare expert who can objectively discuss both total hip replacement and hip resurfacing

Muy bien la reception y el m?dico la tradiuccion

Dr Pritchett is the best! So thankful for his dedication to his craft.

I always have an exceptional visit with Dr Pritchett when I come!

Really enjoyed meeting first time Dr Pritchett and care team. All made me feel comfortable and confidant in moving forward with right hip replacement procedure. I'm a FaN today!!!

Dr. Pritchett and staff were very accommodating.

I sought out a second opinion and was very pleased that I did so. The communication and packet I received to prepare for my knee surgery date has been timely, clear and assuring. I am hoping for a successful partial knee surgery and am confident it should all go well.

Dr. Pritchett brings significant experience and an affability that made me feel like I was getting the best care possible.

I have complete confidence in the Doctor!

All my experiences were good!!!

Dr. Pritchett is outstanding, an innovator and unmatched technician. The Swedish system is very lucky to have him on staff.

Excellent!

Best ever! My surgery went like precision assembly work! Excellent informative medical associates! You have a perfect system!

Thank you very well

Appointments are scheduled far out regarding immediate concerns and yearly exams, o.e. Wellness Checkups, are scheduled out 16 months for the next checkup going past the yearly requirement by insurance provider.

I recommend Dr Pritchett to anyone that will listen. He is an odd duck but after 7 surgeries with him, he is still one of the best. He has totally embraced all of my complications. None of which had to to with him, it is just how my life goes. I accept it!

Meets all expectations. Been seeing this doctor for more than 12 years.

Dr. Pritchett and staff are the best!

Dr. Pritchett is a genius with a cordial, very short bedside manner. I drove 225 miles, one way, to have a post op visit. It would be nice If It had lasted more than 20 minutes from the time I got out of my car upon arrival, to the time I got back In to leave.

The Swedish MS Center and my primary physician have been great helping figure out my diagnosis

Great experience! Very professional provider team!

He is the best Doctor I possibly could ever find, because his dedication and Passion to his work, I really appreciate him

Dr. Pritchett is dedicated to his patients. His reputation as an excellent, as in the best of the best, surgeon is well deserved. He also is a brilliant scholar globally recognized. I have had challenging issues which he has managed competently and with kindness and he has never failed to be at the ready for me.

He's the best!

This doctor is the best surgeon ever!

As a surgeon, I consider Dr. Pritchitt's examination skills and communication far above normal. I was consulting with him about hip replacement and he found and described other medical issues primarily with my back, that would impact my ability to have a successful surgery and recovery. I consider him the best I have ever encountered.

Dr Pritchett is my orthopedic provider (prior hip resurfacing 2012) and I had a new issue that I wanted help to manage (dx and tx options). He has always been easy to talk to and has realistic treatment options.

DrvPritchett really seemed to know my background. Made me feel happy and secure.

Good experience with Orthopedic health team

Pritchett is a highly specialized, experienced and renowned surgeon. Period

Very good service in general Respectful Thx

My results after surgery seem right on schedule. Exceeded expectations!
