Dr. Aldridge is definitely a "just the facts" kind of person. He is pleasant, concise, and focused. I could sense his military background. I never felt rushed but we talked about my knee issues and what could be done. I have had two surgeries, a complicated ankle injury and a torn meniscus repair performed by him and found him extremely skilled and knowledgeable. Personally, I want to know what is wrong and how to fix it. In my opinion, he fills both those requirements. If I want "nice personality", I talk to my husband.

Ok, Dr. Aldridge isn’t really a people person. I was lucky enough to have him as my emergency orthopedic surgeon at Sentara Williamsburg. We didn’t get to talk, I didn’t know much about what was going on. Communication, was lacking BUT that being said, I am grateful to have had such a skilled surgeon operate on me and at the end of the day that’s all that really matters. So if you happen to have him as a surgeon, know that you’re in good hands.

Dr. Aldridge is a man of few words. I do not go to a doctor for bedside manners, I go to the doctor with the best skill set needed to do the best surgery. We have had hip, knees, hand surgery done by him. He is a very skilled surgeon...if he wanted to chat he would have been a family physician. We like his style and highly recommend him.

Excellent surgeon. Trusted the doctor's decisions. Would highly recommend Dr. Aldridge for knee, hip and hand surgery.

I had partial knee surgery on my right knee in May, and in October I had a partial knee replacement on my left knee. The surgery on both knees went very well and in fact one knee does not have a visible scar. Dr. Baddar and his assistant (Shannon) were very thorough and professional. His bedside manner is fantastic. He lays out what the problem is, gives you alternatives, and lets you choose what should be done. I would highly recommend him for knee surgery.

What everyone is complaining about is exactly what I experienced today. I don't know if he's shy or doesn't care about people, but I had to pull information out of him, he just stated the facts and looked like he couldn't wait to leave. Weird! Not going back to him, I'm going somewhere else. Oh, and you all got 7 minutes with him, I got about 1. So count yourself lucky.

Almost six years ago, Dr Baddar gave me a partial replacement on my right knee. It has given me no problem to date. I saw him today requesting a replacement on my left knee. My surgery is scheduled for January 8, 2020. I cannot say enough about Dr. Baddar’s bedside manner. He is the most personable doctor I have ever seen. I ALMOST look forward to my surgery knowing what an excellent job he will do. His staff was friendly and caring last time, and I’m sure they will be again. Dr. Baddar is an excellent surgeon.
