Quotes

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+++.”

Quotes

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”

Quotes

Dr. 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.”

Kelly Bridges Neurosurgery FAQs

«
»
What is spinal stenosis, and how is it treated? Spinal stenosis is the narrowing of the spinal canal, which can put pressure on nerves. It can often be managed non-surgically but may require decompression surgery if symptoms worsen or become disabling.

What is a herniated disc, and can it heal on its own? A herniated disc occurs when the soft inner core of a spinal disc leaks out, irritating nearby nerves. Many herniated discs improve with time and non-surgical treatments, but surgery may be recommended if symptoms are severe and persistent.

What causes back pain, and when should I see a specialist? Back pain can be caused by various factors, including muscle strain, disc issues, arthritis, and more. A specialist should be consulted if pain persists, worsens, or affects daily function, especially if accompanied by numbness, weakness, or loss of bowel/bladder control.

Can neck pain be treated without surgery? Many cases of neck pain can be managed non-surgically through physical therapy, medications, and lifestyle modifications. Surgery is considered only when conservative treatments fail or when there is significant nerve or spinal cord compression.

What is a lumbar fusion, and why is it needed? A lumbar fusion is a procedure to permanently connect two or more vertebrae in the lower back, reducing motion to relieve pain caused by spinal instability, degenerative disc disease, or severe arthritis.

How does body weight (BMI) affect spine surgery outcomes? A higher BMI can increase risks and complications in spine surgery, making it essential for patients to be within a safe weight range before surgery. Dr. Bridges provides guidance on managing BMI as part of preoperative preparation.
