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.

Dr. Etheridge is very likeable and down to Earth. He explained things thoroughly. The injection in my thumb was not bad at all and was effective. Highly recommend!

Excellent Experience
Dr. Ethridge is friendly and outgoing, putting his patients ease. He was extremely knowledgeable concerning my situation. The staff were very helpful and friendly, goin out of their way to help me, making the whole experience easy. From intake to checkout, including a short visit to the hand therapy clinic, the visit was enjoyable.

Excellent doctor and great personality
I had surgery on my finger to create a joint where one had deteriorated. Dr. Ethridge did an outstanding job and I am pleased with the results. The surgery center personnel were caring, organized and professional. The follow up visits were easy to schedule and I’ve never had to wait more than a few minutes. I would certainly recommend Dr. Ethridge and MS Sports Medicine.

Dr Ethridge is such a nice man and have a wonderful manner with his patients. He fixed my carpal tunnel in my right hand 14 years ago and it is still great.?I saw him yesterday for my left hand. He gave my a quick injection in my wrist and already today it is great. The injection was not painful.

Great Physician
Dr. Ethridge is very gentle, explains everything before he does it, answers questions and discusses treatment with me, so that I clearly understand. He is very through in his examinations and careful with treatment. The office is clean, well appointed, with good lighting and protects patient privacy.

He is excellent in all ways. The injections which I had dreaded were easily completed with almost no pain. He makes a patient feel that he cares about their concerns. I will have joint replacement because I trust him as a Doctor.

Carpal Tunnel Release
The Carpal Tunnel Release and medial tunnel release was done back in 1994 and I have never had any problem with the carpal tunnel. The medial tunnel had to be released after 10 years due to a car wreck, plus the other elbow was done also. Dr. Ethridge is the only person I would see. He knows his stuff & is kind & mannerly.
