John W. Aldridge's Online Review Report Card

Worst Surgeon ever. He perform surgery on my back 10 years ago. He messed me up bad doing a surgery that was never needed to be done in the first place. I had to give him one star because they wouldn't let me give him a zero.

Dr. Aldridge is an uncaring, arrogant, neglectful doctor. He was assigned to me at the hospital and never came by to check in and when I had a follow up appointment, I had to wait 50 minutes while in pain for him to spend 3 minutes with me. Terrible!

I was assigned Dr. Aldridge during a recent hospital stay and he never came by to see me. I had a follow up appointment in his office and he was 45 minutes late, spent 3 minutes with me and was rude and arrogant. Avoid this doctor if you can!

2022 review : THIS DR CHANGED MY LIFE but in the WORST way. He did a torn hip labrum FAI surgery on me in 2017. After 4 years and thousands of $$ to figure out why I was STILL living with up to level 10 pain after…EVERY SINGLE DAY since my surgery, saw multiple doctors, had multiple very painful tests, no one could figure out what was wrong with me until I ended up at a hospital in NC and finally had the answer…..2021 MRI results…Dr Aldridge didn’t repair my labrum during the surgery! Did he tell me that? NO! PLUS even worse, There was SO MUCH DAMAGE inside my hip from that surgery that revision surgery wasn’t really even an option. I had to have a total hip replacement because oF his incompetence. . My hip cartridge was stretched out, ( unrepairable) my labrum was shedded, the capsule punctures LEAKING, That wasn’t even repaired correctly. I don’t know how much longer I will suffer as a result of walking around on a damaged hip for so many years. Horrible experience

He's a straight to the point doctor and my visits were really short. Thankfully, here wasn't anything seriously wrong with me, just some arthritis and he did recommend an epidural. However, it felt like I had to draw information out of him. Also, it would've been more helpful to review the actual results of the MRI/Xrays together with him, rather than AFTER he left the room. This would've been more helpful in our communication. Instead, I was left with more questions, and his team took two business days to respond back. When they finally responded, they overlooked my questions and referred me to pain mgmt which took another three weeks before I could talk to someone. If you're an injured athlete or weight lifter at heart, I don't think I can recommend this place.

Dr aldridge totally screwed up my knee replacement causing me many months of tremendous pain. He and his staff are non responsive to any of my needs or calls.

3 months ago dr aldridge preformed knee replacement surgery on me. 3 months later I am still in great pain, much more than before. No response from him, no relief from pain. Going for second opinion to hopefully get relief from pain. Find another doctor.

I have been a patient of Dr. Aldridges for at least 15 years. In this time I have NEVER had any problem with him or his staff. I have never been treated with anything but profesional care. He has a great staff who is responsive and caring. He always greets me happily and always explains clearly whats going on, what he plans to do and what I can expect to achieve. He does have a serious side to him but what he does is seriuos business. I have had him perform 3 meniscus sergeries and 1 total knee replacement. NEVER a problem what so ever with him or his staff in all this time. His staff is wonderful as is he. I have seen all sides of Dr. Aldridge's personality. Yes, at times he is all business but at times he can also be welcoming, compassionate and eager to go over his plans for you and makes sure you understand what to expect while under his care.

This guy replace my left shoulder and root my shoulder and arm I have terrible pains with it and he don't know what to do with it terrible doctor
