SHE GENUINELY CARES FOR HER PATIENTS.



"Dr Kelly Bridges took care of me after suffering a subarachnoid hemorrhage. I was in the hospital 13 days and in ICU for 10 days and she was there often looking after me, several days more than once. She genuinely cares for her patients and is very serious about her job. Authenticity emanates from her. My family absolutely loves her for the care she provided. She explains things very well and loves what she does, and it more than shows. We would give her more than 5 stars if we could and would recommend her to anyone needing a neurosurgeon. She goes well above and beyond. Look no further. You won't find a better doctor!! You won't find one as good or better. She is A+++."

DR. BRIDGES IS A LIFESAVER. LITERALLY (MINE)



"I was lucky enough to have a stroke while she was the on call neurosurgeon. And if it wasn't for her quick decision-making and convincing of my husband I may not be typing this now. She has a sweet and kind bedside manner and always treats me with respect and caring. Yes, there are sometimes waits st her office but a) when I'm on time I RARELY have to wait )and I have two ppl in tow for every visit, plus driving from Middleton. . So I know others have it easier than I do and I'm sure others have it harder too. B) also I'm ok with waiting for the right physician in the valley, especially one who is working on or in my brain. Everybody needs neurosurgeons for different reasons, so far be it from me to assume anything, but I give Kelly Bridges a high vote of confidence and recommendation and am pretty sure you'd be hard pressed to find a police officer in the valley who wouldn't pick her if something happened to them. :D"

DDR. BRIDGES AND HER STAFF ARE AMAZING



"I am a Disabled Veteran. After years of being blown off by the VA, I got an appointment with Dr Bridges. Amazing, from the first visit I found her to be caring, thorough and professional, always taking time to explain every aspect of my treatment plan. I had a cervical vertebrae putting pressure on my spinal cord, causing me to have a lot of pain and problems walking, and weakness and numbness in my arms and hands. We did my surgery on August 7. As soon as I woke up I noticed about 80-90% of the numbness and strength was back and has gotten continually better each week since. Her bedside manner always made me feel comfortable and that she truly cared about me. Follow up has been great, her assistant Mo is always great and so helpful. I have never waited more than 5 minutes in the waiting or patient room......best of all..no pain. Thank you so much Dr Bridges."

OUTSTANDING



"Dr. Bridges was outstanding in all of my interactions with her. My wife had surgery with her before I did. I knew after that she would be doing my surgery."

I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED ANY PAIN!



"The superlative "outstanding" is overused in our society, but it applies to Dr. Bridges. Every step and phase of the process leading to my surgery, the surgery, and all follow-on visits were and are being conducted with the upmost professionalism, friendly manner, and thoroughness that I could want and expect. She explained in detail the risks involved with my surgery and what I could reasonably expect after the surgery, and it has unfolded exactly as Dr. Bridges explained. Moreover, and it seems unbelievable to everyone I tell, I have not experienced ANY pain. No pain immediately after the procedure or at any moment since. The surgery took place on July 11, 2019. I attribute my successful result to Dr. Bridges' medical knowledge and surgical skill. Garrett Randel, September 4, 2019"

Dr Bridges is amazing. So thankful we waited and found her to do my husbands back surgery. He is now pain free. You hear horror stories about people having back surgery and wake up with more pain. Dr Bridges is very knowledgeable and is straight forward with how she will do the procedure. If she doesn't know the answer she will find out and get back to you. I have been recommending Dr Bridges to anyone I come in contact with that needs to have a neurosurgeon.

So thankful we waited and found her

My husband is a disabled veteran who was referred to Dr. Bridges for neurological problems. Dr. Bridges has been the only one to take the time to listen to the many symptoms with empathy my husband experiences and ordered the appropriate testing. She is not like other neurological surgeons that he has seen that dismisses him because there is not a definitive pinpointed problem to fix, saying there is nothing they can do, or that he does not need surgery; which has been his experience for many years with VA doctors. Dr. Bridges along with her assistant Mo, have truly been a Godsend to my husband and I. Their professionalism and attention to detail is what every medical professional and assistant should strive to emulate.
