Honoring the Retirement and Lasting Impact of Dr. Patrick S. Lynch, Jr.
After three decades of dedicated service and an invaluable impact on patients across the Inland Northwest, we are honored to announce the retirement of Dr. Patrick S. Lynch, Jr., M.D. from Northwest Orthopaedic Specialists.
Throughout his distinguished career, Dr. Lynch has been known for his exceptional surgical skill, his calm and reassuring presence, and his unwavering commitment to his patients. From the clinic to the operating room, Dr. Lynch combined precision with compassion—taking time to ensure each patient felt heard, informed, and cared for.
Colleagues and patients alike have long praised Dr. Lynch for his thoughtful communication and attention to detail. Whether walking a patient through a diagnosis step by step or following up after surgery with care and clarity, he built trust with every interaction.
“Dr. Lynch was great. He took time to talk me through everything, fixed the issue in surgery, and checked in immediately afterward. He couldn’t have been any better.”
It’s no surprise that patients often returned to him for care—or sent their loved ones his way—knowing they’d be in the best hands. His surgical outcomes, professionalism, and bedside manner have made a lasting impact on countless individuals across our region, and on our practice as a whole.
As Dr. Lynch transitions into retirement, we celebrate not only the end of an incredible chapter, but the legacy he leaves behind—one defined by compassion, excellence, and a deep commitment to healing.
