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.

Dr Bridgman operated on my left hand in February.
Dr bridgeman fixed my left hand it's healed great and it's perfect he is an awesome orthopedic surgeon and I would love for him to do my right hand because I don't trust anyone else.

Good experience
Dr. Bridgeman and TJ were both very friendly and knowledgeable. They were very clear while explaining everything so I could easily understand. They were courteous, of my thoughts and opinions. I have no doubt that they will get me fixed up.

Best Experience Considering
Dr. Bridgeman and his nurse practitioner TJ have been absolutely amazing. Saw them in the Lake Ozark office. I had an unfortunate accident with a table saw while making Christmas trees. I thought I cut my thumb off completely. However, Dr. Bridgeman food an amazing job at fixing my thumb. He explained things very well and thoroughly. Helped me to understand what was going on the whole step of the way. I ended up having a pin out in and when it was tone to take it out, I hardly felt a thing. I appreciated both his truth and positivity. Made me feel like I was in good hands. Definitely not someone I hope to see very often but so grateful for his him and TJ. Highly recommend! Couldn't ask for anyone better.

10/10 Outstanding Experience
Dr. Bridgeman and his team were second to none. Hands down the best experience we’ve had with any orthopedic doctor. Efficiently and effectively communicated his professional remarks and was an all around joy to be in the same room with. His professionalism and ability to relate to my daughter was incredible. I cannot recommend him enough.

Dr. Bridgman and TJ are wonderful!
Both Dr. Bridgeman and TJ were awesome and very attentive. He explained the possible causes of the issues I was having post surgery, but was very responsive to additional treatment in order to ensure a full recovery.

Successful Wrist Replacement
Dr. Bridgeman replaced my right wrist in 2016. It was the first wrist replacement done at MU. Today (2022), that wrist is still going strong. His kindness and caring is unparalleled. I highly recommend him if you’re having hand or wrist problems.

Horrible provider. He had no focus on patient centered care, did not consult with the patient about treatment options prior to treatment, and left computer unlocked with the patient alone in the room (confidentiality breach). His incompetence pales only in comparison to University hospital's as a whole.

Dr. Bridgeman repaired my son's foot, after an almost full amputation from a lawnmower. His caring manner and ability to explain the procedures honestly with a realistic outcome was refreshing. He's made a full recovery and saved my son's foot.
