Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Amazing relief for TMJ!
If you've ever clenched your teeth or suffered from the pain of TMJ you know it can affect your quality of life. I couldn't believe that just a few days after I was fitted with night guards the pain was miraculously gone! Although these are costly, they're totally worth it and can be considered an amazing prescription-free alternative to dealing with painful aches or even searing pain. This involved a hassle-free fitting followed by just one additional visit. That's all it took. And my mouth guards are likely to last for years- maybe the rest of my life!

I had to see Dr. Bridgham to remove my bottom permanent wire from 15-20 years ago as well as the bonding that was on the teeth and get a bottom removable retainer. Everything from the start to the finish of the appointment was excellent, I will recommend Dr. Bridgham to anyone I know who needs a orthodontist.

I have loved my experience at this office! Highly recommend because my very crooked teeth are now straight. He and Dr. Barr were very thorough explaining why I needed braces. Loved the fact that the office has new technology - 3D xray was amazing. Staff was always kind, super friendly and made me feel comfortable each visit. Very knowledgeable, timely, clean, respectful and just a great experience. BTW, I drove 40 minutes to get here because a friend told me don't go anywhere else. G.A.

I love this office! Dr. Bridgham and Dr. Barr are the nicest, down to earth and best doctors ever. 15 months of clear braces and my teeth look perfect. The doctors are the staff were really nice, kind and consistent throughout my visits. I actually liked going to the doctors. The office is clean, the staff is nice and I didn't wait in the waiting room, they run on time. What a pleasure. I highly recommend them.

All aspects of this practice are to be recognized for excellence. I just got off the phone with Amy the Office Manager, and she is so good at what she does I was inspired to make this recommendation. She is a credit to a good organization, and what she does as far as payment planning and dealing with FSA makes a world of difference. Dr. Bridgham and Dr. Barr are both excellent orthodontists. Their office team works with them to keep patients and parents smiling.

Dr. Bridgham is an excellent orthodontist! The staff at his office are all very friendly and experienced, and we've never had to wait more than a few minutes once we have checked in. My daughter's teeth look fantastic! I would highly recommend Bridgham Barr Orthodontics.

Dr. Bridgham is the best! As an adult patient it was not easy having braces but Dr. Bridgham and Dr. Barr both worked very hard to give me the best possible results. They spent lots of extra time with me to deal with some minor unexpected issues during my treatment plan. This is also a practices that offers Acceledent which took half the time off my treatment plan. My son is also currently a patient at this practice so I have been able to see this practice as both a patient and a parent.

Dr. Bridgham has been so helpful in explaining everything throughout the experience for both my children. They both had there own unique issues and he and his staff have been wonderful in making them feel comfortable to come for every visit to correct their teeth. We couldn't be happier with the end results!
