He is a good doctor, but I agree with some of the other comments here about his opinions. He may not think about your feelings sometimes. He does talk to you while typing in his notes. Caution: don't talk about anything other than what you made the appointment for, you will be charged extra! Overall a good doctor and I recommend.

I highly recommend Dr. Eldridge! I waited maybe two minutes in the waiting room and two minutes in his office for him to arrive. Dr. Eldridge was caring, interested and helpful in talking with me about my concerns. I was amazed at how much time he spent with me during my appointment. He made me feel like he truly cared about my well being. I left the appointment feeling relieved that I was able to talk to someone so knowledgable that had my best interest in mind. I look forward to going back.

He was very sexist toward me, a 20-something single female. He said rude things about my personality and gender like women are overly emotional and exaggerate their symptoms and can't handle pain and that I have an eating disorder and I'm faking it and I'm trying to be cool...seriously!! He ran tests to 'entertain my delusion' I think is how he put it. I ended up needing surgery. He did not explain anything to me or educate me and all of the people he referred me to were smug and rude and did not explain things to me. I went online and read books about my disease to leand he put me down for that. He did personally return an emergency call once which surprised me. Only then did he realize that I was not faking it as he thought. I was young out of college and could finally afford to get some medical help for years of issues. I never even wanted a male doctor. Overall, he was such a jerk in his bedside manner and any doctor could have diagnosed me!

Dr. Eldridge is a fantastic dr. My husband is a Dr. and I am a medical professional as well, we both see him and love him. You never wait 1 hr to get in (15-20 mins tops), the nurses always call back in a very timely manner, and Dr. Eldridge takes his time to talk to you and makes excellent referrals. I wanted to address his poor ratings on this site as well. He does type while speaking with you, but I appreciate this since I know he is typing what I am saying, so I dont have to repeat myself on the next visit and he always checks in on the issues we had on our last appointment. I can see how some might see it as rude, but it is merely how he stays so effecient and plugged into your specific health concerns. And medicine can be trial and error, if something didnt work, the patient should call and request a new medication. He seems to be OK doing this over the phone with his nurse, so dont have to go back in. Overall, my family has been really happy with this Dr! Highly recommend him!

I chose Dr. Eldridge based on excellent ratings here, but he turned out to be a real disappointment. He carried on nearly our entire conversation while typing on computer. While I was asking questions at the end of our exam, he opened the exam room door to leave. Did not seem to seriously consider my issue. Prescribed pills that didn't alleviate my problem and then he left. I have never felt worse off after visiting a doctor until now.

Dr. Eldridge always gives the upmost respect and care you deserve. I have always be very happy with my care. I sent my shy 20 year old daughter to him. He was so caring and compassionate with her. He made a real difference with her health an well being. I always happily recommended him when I am asked if I know a good doctor, I say, YES ! I also want to mention how effiecient the office is. I have never waited more than 15 minutes to see the Dr. If I have called to speak to Linda, his nurse, I usually an called back within 15 to 20 minutes, not at the end of the day.

His winning personality is only eclipsed by his efficienty, and for that reason I will never use another doctor. Truly a master of the craft.

I was seeing him a few years ago and did not care for him because he made a joke about my health that I did not care for, That I thought was rude and uncall for and so I quit seeing him for that reason.
