Doctor Aldridge office is the worst doctor office I ever been. I would not recommend him to anyone. His team doesn’t respond back when you leave a message. I have been trying to get a MR I since December and it is now February. My last visit was a waste of my time. They did nothing just keep promising to get the information to my insurance so that the MRI can be approved. Bert!!!!!!!

Absolutely horrible doctor. I brought my daughter to see him to see if she had a fracture based on a fall. He was rude and short with us after waiting over an hour past the appointment time. He took an X-ray, looked at it and said, sorry, you need to see a pediatric specialist. We went to a pediatric specialist at CHKD who said the X-ray was clear as day, no break or fracture. Everything was totally normal. Dr. Aldrich waste a complete waste of time and money.

This was a waste of an appointment. I drove my dad to see this guy as he was in an urgent need of shoulder surgery. Dr. Aldridge was not even in the room for 7 minutes, did not explain anything, and when my dad asked additional questions, he was completely condescending in his response. Avoid this doctor!

Dr. Aldridge performed rotator cuff surgery on me one year ago. I had three tears. Today I am pain free and can move my shoulder easily. He is highly skilled and trained. I'll go to him again for my orthopedic needs.

I saw Dr. Aldridge for sudden onset of hip pain. Dr A. was uninterested in hearing any history; his first sentence when he came in the room was that I had degenerative arthritis and needed a total hip replacement. I got a copy of my x rays and showed it to a radiologist who said I had only mild arthritis. I went to another surgeon who confirmed this and diagnosed bursitis. He gave a cortisone shot and recommended PT. I now have no pain. I don't recommend nor trust Dr. Aldridge.

HORRIBLE PATIENT CARE...HORRIBLE DOCTOR...DOES NOT CARE, STILL TRYING TO FATHOM WHY HE BECAME A "DOCTOR", IT IS NOT BECAUSE HE CARES. HE IS SO CALLOUS TO PATIENTS PROBLEMS. I SPENT 1 HR AND 47 MIN WAITING TO SEE HIM FOR A NEW PATIENT VISIT (FOR AN ACCIDENT). HE SPENT ALL BUT 7 MINUTES WITH ME......PLEASE, TAKE MY ADVICE,DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME....GO TO ANOTHER ORTHOPEDIC DOCTOR, WHERE THEY CARE!

Waited one and a half hours past appointment time. No acknowledgement from doctor. I had to ask questions about my condition instead of being told what my problem was. I saw him 3 years ago and sent me to a pain specialist. I told pain specialist that condition is only tolerated by hydrocodone and wanted to explore surgery option. Aldridge wants me now to go back to pain specialist to run same tests I had done before for what he calls experimental surgery not covered by insurance. Then ducks out

My experience is like the others! We as patients are told the risks of surgery. If the surgery comes out ok then the doctor gets all the kudos. In my case it did not turn out all that good. The surgery did help where i originally had my issue. However my back is now hurting where my surgery was performed. I'm not blaming him for the surgery results but for his attitude toward me. It seems to be my problem and I can go back to work in pain. In other words go back to your primary dr.
