Dr Bridge did a right foot reconstruction. I am in 4 weeks after surgery, the ache was not bad ... tylenol helped me a lot. I followed all the medical instructions and the incisions are healing nicely and my foot seems to be aligned and straight. I recommand Dr Bridge in a heart beat

I had only spoken to Dr Bridge on the phone prior to my surgery. I was referred by my family physician. He was professional and friendly. When I met him yesterday prior to my surgery he was running behind because of a high volume of extra surgeries (they had to postpone that day, I thought mine might be as well).he was professional friendly and had a great beside manner taking time to put me at ease and answer my questions in easily understood terms. So far it only being the day after the surgery I have experienced no pain or much discomfort. We will see how it progresses but so far absolute kudos

Dr Bridge did reconstructive surgery on my foot, and said if I needed to come back later and get the pins removed as they bother me, I could! I have been waiting for 1 1/2 years and have not heard anything. One would think he might be interested in whether or not his surgery was successful and how patients are doing after the fact. I waited the 2 years of suggested recovery time, and had to get referred to him again, for follow up, and have still not heard from him or his office. Why I had to get referred again is beyond me, Dr Bridge did the surgery, which I think makes me his patient, but apparently not. I am beyond frustrated!

Dr. Bridge knows his job. He does exceptional work and anyone who has had the opportunity to work with him knows that. Like too many, I also had a horrific car accident which left me with a severely broken R. ankle. I had 3 different Orthopedic doctors look at my Xrays and to a man they said the same thing, it doesn't get any worst than this!
What I want to say here is how hard Dr. Bridge worked to get my ankle and foot operating as best he could under the circumstances. For 3 years Dr. Bridge saw me more frequently than I could have imagined. Alway extremely polite and ready to do anything that would help the situation, often working late to do extra. How can you rate that? if there was a double excellent I would give him that.
Situations like this don't always work out as one might hope. Unfortunately, my lower leg required amputation. Dr. Bridge did it on New Year's Eve! he could have been at home relaxing with the family. Since the amputation, Dec. 31, 2018, Dr. Bridge has worked with me closely to ensure my best outcome and prevent infection. I just can't say enough good things about this doctor. I also know from talking to many other patients that they all feel the same. Thank you, Dr. Bridge,
for all, you have done for me and continue to do.

5 years ago, I was a passenger in a horrific car accident that left both of my feet crushed and one almost completely severed at the ankle. Fortunately for me, Dr. Bridge was the surgeon to fix my ankle and feet. Although amputation would have been the obvious choice, he was confident that he could fix me and he did. Both of my feet look normal (aside from some unavoidable scarring) and although my ankle and feet will never be the same as they were before, I really couldn’t have asked for a better outcome. Dr. Bridge, if you ever read this, thank you so much for taking such good care of me. You’re a wonderful doctor who really made me feel cared for during the hardest and most terrifying time of my life.

Had Micro fracture and a couple of screws put in my ankle on Dec.19. Dr.Bridge is amazing - scar is healing beautifully, little to no pain. He was personable, friendly and answered all my irritating questions. Ankle already feels better than it did before the surgery. Great job!

Foot surgery one month ago with pins. Virtually no post op pain - medication for only two days needed. Excellent bedside manner with full explanations - no rushing. Is giving specialists a good name!

Today is 1 year post-surgery to remove a neuro-fibroma on the top of my foot. Since such a large area of my foot was involved, I was afraid I would end up with complications or needing a skin graft. Dr. Bridge did a fantastic job, and I also received excellent care from the KGH wound specialist. I am happy to report that my foot healed without infection, I have zero scar pain, and I am 100% able to walk, hike, jump, swim etc. Thank you, Dr. Bridge!
