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.

hes cold. unsympathetic. has the bedside manners of a troll. after the surgery to fuse 17 vertabrae the nurses in hospital treated me poorly saying " This is one of Brudwell's" which shows their disdain for him. in the hospital for 2 weeks after surgery I saw him once. The photographs taken for his pet research projects made me feel like I had fallen into a concentration camp. I don't care if it's "for science." where does dignity come in to play? the man is bloated with hubris.

Scoliosis exam
My wife and I went to see dr bridwell today and were both very impressed with him and his staff, his exam of my scoliosis was very thorough and genuine, I had X-rays before the appt with him and then he reviewed them with us giving us his honest thoughts and recommendations. He explained to us very clearly what I’m dealing with. We are so happy with dr bridwell and his staff and will continue seeing him. Our honest opinion and recommendation of him is clearly higher than 5 stars. Thank you dr bridwell and staff.

In 2001 Dr. Bridwell performed two operations on me, posterior and anterior fusions. I was sixty three at the time. Subsequently I have been able to live a normal active life and I credit Dr. Bridwell with almost twenty years of active life since the surgery.

I had emergency surgery done in December 10th 2018. Thanks to Dr. Bridwell and his team I was walking again by the end of the month! I’ve never met the man awake but he fixed me, so I’m very grateful! And Dr Wagoner, on his team, has been very excellent and instructive. And his nurses have been exceptional!

I am 31 now, but I started seeing Dr. Bridwell when I was about 16-17 years old. I had scoliosis and needed a spinal fusion. At late 17, Dr. Bridwell performed my surgery and I was very happy with my results. I still have pain but I am now able to sit or stand without major pain, unlike before. My only complaint is that I do remember having to wait for my appointment, sometimes for hours. Other than that, if I ever needed another spinal surgery, I would surely seek Bridwell out again.

I have been a patient of Dr. Bridwell's for 7 years. He performed a lumbar laminectomy and spinal fusion on me in May of 2010. He and every member of his staff are professional and extraordinarily proficient. I can recommend Dr. Bridwell without reservation.

After another surgeon had thoroughly messed up my wife's spinal surgery, Dr. Bridwell agreed to tackle the problem. As a surgical nurse herself, my wife was particularly attentive to all the pre-op and post-op procedures by Dr. Bridwell's team. As a retired fighter pilot, I, too, was interested in those procedures. Dr. Bridwell and his team are the most impressive medical practicioners my wife and I have seen. Beyond any doubt Dr. Bridwell is the best of the best.

Dr. Bridwell has treated my daughter for 4 years. She has had multiple surgeries for rod adjustments in her back (scoliosis). We could not be more grateful for Dr. Bridwell's skills and caring. He has done fabulously with her incisions, making the scar as minimal as possible. We moved out of state and my 10 year old daughter insisted we stay with him and return every 6-8 months for surgeries because she trusts him completely. He is very good at what he does. I highly recommend-he is amazing!
