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

This is the worst doctor by far that i have ever been to i broke my elbow and was in a cast for 7 weeks my arm hurts everyday this doctor refuses pain relief and was thrown into physical therapy 4 days outta the cast given a dose pack and pretty much got told deal with it he has no compassion for his patients and a very cold bedside manner i would NOT recommend him to anyone

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.

I was forced to see this doctor by workers compensation when the first workers comp doctor failed to adequately repair my knee surgically. Dr. Baddar diagnosed me having runners knee, and gave me two cortisone shots with negative results. He could not understand why I was experiancing 10 out of 10 pain. Told me that was the best I would get and began the process to retire me. I used my own insurance, got a REAL doctor and had another surgery to address the issues he failed to diagnose.

Since having children, I have had alot of pain in my lower back. I finally decided to schedule an appointment with Dr. Aldridge after attending a lecture in Williamsburg. When I came in for my appointment, the staff was so friendly and helpful. I recently had a SI Fusion and am already feeling so much better.

I came to see Dr. Baddar for a second opinion for my knee and he was excellent. He showed me my x-rays, talked me through his treatment recommendation, and before I left the office I was able to schedule my surgery. My right total knee replacement went very well. I am up and moving and doing things that I was not able to do before due to pain. Thank you Dr. Baddar!
