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.

We were immediately taken with Dr. Aderibigbe! He was extremely friendly, professional and reassuring and let us have all the time we needed during our initial appointment. He was very thorough in explaining the procedure, what to expect before and after surgery and addressed any questions and concerns we had. We definitely chose the right surgeon and we can’t say enough how much we like and trust Dr. A!

Total Hip replacement
I am a 59 ur old male. Dr. Aderibigbe (Big A) takes the time to listen to EVERYTHING I have to say. Takes the time to explain what is right about what I say and what is flawed in my thinking.At 12:30 pm on October 8 Dr. Aderibigbe performed anterior hip replacement surgery. By 6 pm that evening of Oct 8, I was able to walk completely on my own!!! Nurses, PT and other had never seen that before... walking and standing completely unassisted... 5 hours after surgey.

He was friendly, shared my x-ray and why I had no options left. Then went on to lay out the timeliness and what my next steps would be. Then was optimistic about the surgery success and the healing process.

Broken femur and patella
I was brought to Mercy Medical Center, ER by ambulance and diagnosed with a broken Femur and Patella. I was told that Dr. Aderibigbe would preform the repair surgery on my femur (patella will heal on its own). During my time in the busy ER I was told by numerous people including the ER Dr. that Aderibigbe was the man for the job, which was very reassuring since I didn't know anything about him or his reputation. After surgery the following morning I was feeling pretty good pain wise, I rested up the remainder of the day in preparation for some OT. the next morning. I was absolutely dreading the idea of having to get out of bed and stumbling around with a walker. As it turned out it went much better than expected. Great job Dr. Aderibigbe, and every one else that helped me with my icy experience Tuesday morning.

Professional and Caring Doctor
I met with Dr. Aderibigbe because of a needed hip replacement. I initially chose him because he did anterior hip replacement and was highly recommended by my personal physician. Dr. Aderibigbe was so kind and caring as well as knowledgeable and professional. From the first consultation to after surgery I received the highest quality care. I would highly recommend Dr. Aderibigbe to anyone.

2.5 Stars is my actual rating
I came to the hospital with a broken tibia and fibula at the end of Oct. I met Dr. Aderbigbe on the day of surgery when he came to do the pre-op check. The only thing I remember him doing is checking the records, then bending over me and asking me, “ Is there really any reason for me to waste my talent to fix your leg? You aren’t going to get up and go walking on it again anyway, are you?” I honestly was dumbfounded, I had only been disrespected by one other doctor that way, and I quickly put him in his place. I could not understand this type of bedside manner, so cold and harsh, and, well, just plain rude! Throughout my hospital stays (2) I saw him a total of 2 or 3 times where he only told me how much longer I had to stay off my leg, without looking at me, without encouraging me, nothing like these other patients are bragging about. I’m glad they all had such a warm and supportive doctor behind them. I just wish I had.

Excellent service
I shattered my femur in 2021 and Dr. Aderibigbe was called in because of his trama expertise. Most impressive was that he was secured for my emergency surgery by Capitol Orthopedics that is a competing operation. He had been an excellent physician and I am continuing with him for my hip replacement procedures.

Excellent provider
Dr. Aderibigbe not only surgically repaired my femur after a gnarly motorcycle accident, he had done both hardware installation and removal on both of my legs. He is very professional and just an absolute top notch orthopedic surgeon. I am very thankful that him, Dr. Nwosa and their team were the ones that took care of me after my accident. I feel like I received the best care I possibly could have.

Dr. Aderibigbe did a superb job repairing my crushed elbow, including building up a particularly challenging, impacted area of the bone. Was great about communication, worked with me through a nightmare of a workers comp case. Great patient care, extremely skilled surgeon.
