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.

More than a Doctor a human. Extremely professional and knowledgeable. Been a patient for 6 years now ! I can say everyone referred can only speak wonders of Dr. Richard. Very nice and clean office, great staff members, very caring and attentive, will address your needs in a timely manner and work with you. I came to his office as an OB patient my first baby and with several weeks. I couldn’t find a doctor that will take me in because of the time length of my pregnancy and Dr Richard accepted me as a new patient and made sure the rest of my pregnancy went by smoothly, always answered all my concerns all the questions (everyone knows first pregnancy is very scary and full of questions). Besssssst of the bunch!!!!

I was so blessed to have Dr. Bridgewater as my OBGYN throughout my pregnancy and delivery. He was there for me from beginning to end. As well, I felt taken care of and understood. I cannot thank him enough for helping me navigate my feelings throughout my pregnancy, taking care of our baby girl during every single ultrasound, as well as his sincere interest during postpartum check-ups. I highly recommend him and his staff as a DR./caregiver who truly gives his attention, love and energy to his patients.

I would never recommend anyone to this place. Office manager is rude and disrespectful to pregnant patients. Wait time is ridiculous!!! Doctor is rude and careless.

I have never felt so comfortable with a doctor in my life, Dr.Bridgewater is amazing and answered all of my questions before I could even ask him, knew exactly what I was going to ask and was extremely compassionate. I have to say that he is the nicest and most caring doctor I have ever been to and I would recommend him to everyone. The staff is extremely sweet and also very caring, they were so nice to me, I couldn't ask for more! You guys are awesome!

I love this doctor and his staff! The office is very clean, no scratches or dark spots on the wall, and besides the laundry basket with a few used hospital gowns, there are no signs that a client has been in the patient room before me, The staff actually remembers me even when I call in. But Dr. Bridgewater is my favorite; he is polite, knowledgeable, humble and sincere. He literally sits down and talk to me, explaining everything in details with examples and he never makes me feel rushed.tryhim
