Dr. Bridges provided excellent care for my daughter. She listened to our concerns and provided and developed a well thought out plan to support her needs. She took time to run extra test just to make sure there was nothing missed. She also provided referrals to other doctors for continued support. I really appreciate Dr Bridges patience, listening to our concerns and her care for our child.

Dr. Bridges was really great. She listens, she showed us what she was looking at with the x rays and explained what she saw.

We like our provider and waited for her to have another clinic day at the Troy location even though we could have seen her sooner in Dayton.

Dr. Bridges is one of the best doctors we could have for our child. She explains everything clearly, works collaboratively with families, and is extremely thorough in researching procedures and treatment options. We always feel confident in the care she provides.

Dr. Bridges was extremely caring and helpful. She took the time to explain what was going on with my son’s knee, not only to me but to him as well. She discussed her concerns with his x-rays, recommended getting an immediate MRI to confirm her concerns. She did not have the “let’s wait and see” approach, she is definitely proactive. The entire staff was very friendly and inviting- from the check-in receptionist to the checkout receptionist and everyone in between. I work in the health care field and I was very pleased.

Dr. Bridges was very kind and very knowledgeable. She spent a lot of time explaining to my daughter and me about her injury and what the next steps should be. She gave all of the pros and cons for each approach and encouraged me to take time to make a decision. I feel very confident that my daughter is in good hands.

My son really liked the fact that the doctor seemed really patient and just answered the questions really well for him. He's had some nervousness about getting the surgery and I think it helped ease his mind with all the questions and help her answering them. And then my mom even was like, oh my goodness, I liked her so much. She just answered everything and she was so patient with him and we just loved it.

We were extremely pleased with the service that Dr. Carla Burgess provided. She was very attentive and prompt and made an attempt to get our son an MRI as quickly as possible. And she asked a lot of questions and worked with him closely. Thank you.

We always have to wait 30 minutes after our appointment time before being seen. This is my only complaint with this office. We usually have to go back multiple times for injuries as my son is in sports so we have to miss work and school to attend appointments and it is frustrating to sit there for a half hour. Otherwise we love this office.

She took the time to examine my daughter and then explain everything to us. We did not feel rushed even though two areas of concern needed to be addressed.

We have seen Dr. Bridges for two different issues for my daughter, and she has been great both times! She is laid back, takes her time with the patient, and explains things well.

Such a great experience when we are at the Miamisburg location. All staff is wonderful and of course the most important thing is they are all great with the kids.

Dr.Bridges is top notch!! Hands down the best around! My son has been under her care for over a year after a very bad ATV accident. Dr.Bridges always treated us wonderful since day one! She has the best bed side manner I have ever come across. Dr.Carla Bridges truly is the best around and so kind hearted and an expertise in all areas of her profession!

Dr. Bridges was so patient and understanding. She answered all my questions and was so quick to follow up, subsiding my fears and anxiety. I cannot recommend a better Doctor or experience. My son needs surgery and she was very detailed and trustworthy.

Providers was good. Price of care was too much. A copayment of $50:00 for every visit was bad. After insurance payment l Paid almost $1500.00 dollars. Plus $200.00 for copayment. TO EXPENSIVE.

Dr Bridges and nursing staff care about their patients and try hard to make sure they heal back to normal
