Dr Bridgeman is EXCELLENT and TJ on his team was wonderful. We have experienced a “night and day” difference in their care as compared to other Orthopedic physicians. Our family could not more highly recommend Dr Bridgeman.

What I liked most about Dr Bridgeman was his friendly but professional manor and that he talked to me and not down or at me. He was very open and informative and together we established a plan forward.

Dr Bridgeman and his assistant TJ were great! Knowledgeable, courteous, and friendly, Dr made my 10 yr old feel at ease, as he explained what was going on, and was well taken care of! We would recommend to anyone needing hand or finger surgery/service.

Dr. Bridgeman spent 40 minutes with me reviewing the x-rays and explaining Osteoarthritis of my hands. He performed several tests for nerve sensitivity also. He offered several options for treatment and recommended physical therapy for further treatments. I would recommend Dr. Bridgeman as a hand orthopedic surgeon to other patients suffering with osteoarthritis.
