Jason J. Wilcox, M.D.
Dr. Wilcox is an orthopedic surgeon specializing in sports medicine and arthroscopy. He provides complete care for most bone and joint problems with a special interest in the reconstruction of the shoulder, hip, and knee. Dr. Wilcox is especially interested in understanding the individual goals and expectations of each patient and then tailoring both surgical and nonsurgical treatments to meet those individual needs.
Dr. Wilcox lives in Seattle with his wife and two sons. He loves spending time with his family, watching his beloved Fighting Irish on Saturdays, and spending as much time outdoors as possible. Dr. Wilcox and his family enjoy participating in the active lifestyle that is unique to the Pacific Northwest, and as such he is passionate about helping those sidelined with injury return to this active lifestyle as well.
Dr. Wilcox’s expertise is in: Reconstruction of the knee ligaments from isolated anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) to multiligamentous knee reconstructions; repair, debridement, and transplant of the knee meniscus; treatment of cartilage lesions including transfer, transplant, and autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI); arthroscopic treatment of hip impingement; arthroscopic treatment of shoulder instability, dislocation, and separation; arthroscopic repair of the rotator cuff; treatment of biceps tendon tears and pain; general fracture care and total joint arthroplasty.

I saw Dr Wilcox for about 5 minutes and he determined that surgery was the best option so I scheduled and left with very little information on what to expect. 3 days before surgery his office phoned me to ask for PT notes because my prior authorization hadn’t been approved yet. They gave me the wrong fax number to send the notes to but I was eventually able to get the notes across to them. The following day it was denied and surgery was pushed back two weeks. A week later his office finally submitted an appeal which was also denied. Any time I tried to call for an update I reached a voicemail and occasionally received a call back. After the appeal was denied I went in for another appointment to discuss next steps and was told they would be submitting another appeal (which my insurance had already told me was not possible). I was offered two different types of injections and was told neither would likely help very much. I went to a different surgeon for a second opinion and was told that the missing information for the prior authorization could only be obtained with an XRay (which was never done by Dr Wilcox). It has been almost 2 weeks since I was told that his office was filing a second appeal and I have not had any contact from anybody at OPA.
