Ann Bridges's Online Review Report Card

I saw Dr. Bridges today, she was very knowledge and spent a lot of time (we almost felt bad how long) answering all of my questions and explaining stuff in a way I understand. I was stressed going into the visit, but she was calm, confident, and skilled. She did not downgrade my pain and she listened to my concerns. I would highly recommend her!!

Dr. Bridges performed an endometriosis excision on my wife late last year and, in the process, knowing that we don't want to have children, offered to remove her tubes which my wife accepted. She said it would be no big deal and take her an extra 5 minutes... What she didn't mention was that it would cost us an additional $1,800 out of pocket. So now we're stuck with this unexpected bill. It's truly disheartening that money often wins over real care and integrity. I will note that she did good work with the procedure. But this experience made us lose all trust in her so my wife will be seeking healthcare elsewhere.

There was nothing wrong with her staff or punctuality but I can't justify anything more than a 1 star overall review - This experience made us lose all trust in her so my wife will be seeking healthcare elsewhere.

I'm a bit surprised Dr. Bridges is rated so well among OB/GYNs in the Seattle area. I recently had my first appointment with her and was sorely disappointed by her patronizing approach to care. Despite one of the first sentences out of my mouth being that I'm not actively trying to have kids, she used almost the entirety of our appointment talking about things I could try to have a greater success at conceiving. I had to repeat several times that I'm not actively trying and still ended up going down the same rabbit hole with her. I made it clear both in my intake form and to her staff what my questions were and yet when she got to my appointment she seemed to have a full agenda of things she wanted to talk about instead. By the time we had 5 minutes left in our appointment, I felt like I had to forcefully ask the questions that I wanted answered and, in the end, most of those questions were brushed aside. On top of her lack of attention, Dr. Bridges also treated me like a child in our appointment. She talked down to me for the ENTIRE appointment. It got to the point where, without any prompting, she literally started explaining how periods work. I'm almost 30 and felt humiliated by her assumption that I had no idea how periods work at this stage in my life. The whole conversation felt insulting and every time I asked her a question, she would give me a totally unrelated answer that brought us back to the topic of actively trying to have kids in the next year. She even ended the appointment telling me to come back in if I'm not able to conceive after a year of trying, which solidified how little attention she was paying to what I was saying. To add a cherry on top, I later read the summary notes from our appointment and they clearly misrepresented why I made the appointment and what we said when we were together. By the time I read my summary it was abundantly clear that she wasn't even trying to listen to what I was saying during our time together. I am eager to find a new doctor and definitely wouldn't recommend Dr. Bridges for anyone who isn't currently pregnant or actively trying—especially if you look even remotely young. I'm not sure how she is once you're actually pregnant, so it's possible that's where all of her good ratings are coming from, but after this experience I don't intend on sticking around to find out.

Went in to see dr.bridges for my first pregnancy, first of all she is way too busy to see you, what's the point if im going to see your nurse and not you? Secondly, she missed to write a very important test for my 12 month scan, a parents nightmare. .and tried to blame game on technician s, and how it wasn't a big deal..it was the NC blood test at 3 month which IS a big deal. Another thing that pissed both me and my husband off was that she assumed I was Indian..like why would u assume that only coz of my colored skin...did not feel a connection with her due to her non chalant attitude for missing the blood test...if my child is born with an abnormality huge such as down syndrome who am I to blame for not knowing that at 3 months? Thank God we did ivf and a cell free dna test later but still. This is a huge incompetency. Dont waste your time and visit a competent Dr.

I’ve had a 25-year relationship with Dr Bridges at the Polyclinic and she’s my favorite doctor there! She is always warm and welcoming and takes the time to listen to my concerns (and family stories!). When I was faced with surgery, she carefully explained the procedure and other medical options for my consideration. I heartily recommend Dr Bridges as my long time Gynecologist, and friend!

I know two ppl who have seen this doctor: one lost her baby when delivery was delayed by practitioner, the other who was left impotent following a routine vasectomy.

She takes time to understand you and your health. Also she is smart as a whip. Highly recommended.
