Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Very professional

The visit was extremely efficient. I was called prior to appointment time, had an x-ray, and met with Dr. Kidder for a thorough exam, received an injection in my shoulder, and was discharged within 45 minutes.

Great Doctor
Dr Kidder was very informative he took his time to explain everything to me and my husband, he did X-rays and two MRI ‘s . I had tears in my rotator cuff which he repaired I am still under his care, he has taken real good care of me though this long process of healing. He is an excellent doctor I would highly recommend him.

He replaced both of my shoulders.
He did my right shoulder in June or July 2017 and my left shoulder in November 2017. He absolutely is the best. I took 1 pain pill after each surgery. I have 100% range of motion that I was born with and have had ZERO issues now for 7 plus years. I cannot recommend Dr. Kidder and his staff more. The only thing I wish is that I had the operations done sooner.

Best shoulder orthopedic surgeon in Mobile!!
Dr. Kidder and his staff at The Orthopedic Group are absolutely wonderful! Dr. Kidder is not only an excellent surgeon but he is genuinely empathetic and kind towards his patients taking the time to answer any questions whether it’s about surgery, medications or recovering from surgery. Dr. Kidder truly does have the patient’s best interest at heart. I appreciate Dr. Kidder’s commitment to excellence. I recommend Dr. Kidder and The Orthopedic Group hands down over other orthopedic groups in town.

Nurse Bri, all the nurses and the lady who wheeled me out were awesome!Dr. Kiddar is so great, he allowed me to pray before my procedure ??. I love his bedside manner. Dr. Lobel and his team are excellent. My experience from the front desk check-in ladies to being wheeled out was so awesome. Thank you all for the work you do! I really appreciate you all! Happy Thanksgiving!
