Dr. Tad Pruitt is a teacher at heart. He loves teaching patients about how God designed their body and knows that patients can take a more active role in recovery when they fully understand their orthopedic problem. He especially enjoys helping all patients—from kids to adults—who have arthritis, shoulder pain, sports injuries, fractures and crippling conditions become active again through arthroscopy, joint replacement surgery and minimally invasive techniques.

Dr. Pruitt is a frequent lecturer at medical conferences. Besides surgery, he uses his hands as an accomplished pianist and is interested in politics and history. He is married to his high school sweetheart, and they have four children.
