Spine Surgeon In Vernon, Idaho

My husband, who is a veteran, had developed bone spurs on the front of his spine that were pushing into his throat and causing him to have difficulty swallowing. It became so bad that he was choking on small pieces of food and, at times, even water. He had doctored at the VA for 2+ years with no answers. In 2022 he was finally able to get an outside referral to Dr. Bridges. From the first visit to the last we felt genuinely cared for by Dr. Bridges and her staff. She identified and explained the problem and surgical procedure clearly, providing the information in layman's terms, but always with respect; she never talked down to us. Dr. Bridges even referred my husband for pre-surgery speech therapy to build up the muscles and strengthen his vocal chords. She covered all of the bases. We felt confident going into surgery in December of 2022. Dr. Bridges performed a challenging and tedious procedure successfully. We are so grateful for Dr. Bridges and we highly recommend her! Thank you Dr. Bridges & staff ... we think of you often!

I am very impressed with Dr Bridges and all the staff that works with her. She has shown compassion and really listens to her patients. I suffered for a very long time and she was able to really help me. I appreciate her and her staff. I would highly recommend her to anyone that was needing a neurosurgeon.

I had a fusion performed with fear and trepidation because my back surgery 10 years ago had caused constant pain. Wow! Am I elated with the results! I couldn't be happier. Dr. Bridges is amazing. I have no pain and after 6 months I am doing exceptionally well. Thank you so much Dr. Bridges.
