Artistry in Rhinoplasty and Facelift
Dr. Ridgway is truly exceptional. I have had a septoplasty with rhinoplasty and a lower face lift, and I am still amazed by the quality, precision, and artistry of his work. He is meticulous in every detail, and it shows in the results. Not only has my breathing improved, but the aesthetic outcome is beyond what I imagined — natural, balanced, and beautifully done. The other day I was mistaken for being in my late 20’s (I’m 40!), and a stranger even thought my husband was my

My neck had suffered significant damage from years of sun exposure, leaving me extremely self-conscious
I am beyond thrilled with the results of my neck lift performed by Dr. Ridgway 6 months ago. My neck had suffered significant damage from years of sun exposure, leaving me extremely self-conscious about wearing anything that showed it. To make matters worse, a previous consultation with another plastic surgeon left me feeling defeated when he told me there was nothing that could be done and even commented on how rough my skin looked. It was a crushing experience. Not willing

9 months since my surgery, and I'm thrilled with the results
I had an exceptional experience with Dr. Ridgway during my revision septorhinoplasty. His skill in guiding me through such a significant decision made me feel at ease, ensuring I was confident in the journey to go under the knife again. The nursing staff also played a crucial role in my comfort, providing a calming presence on the morning of surgery and attentive care during recovery. Their support made a noticeable difference in my overall experience. It's been 9 months since

I had a crooked nose and majorly deviated septum - My results are fantastic
I met with four doctors as I was exploring getting a septorhinoplasty. I had a crooked nose and majorly deviated septum. I went with Dr Ridgway due to his high attention to detail, time spent answering all my questions, and perfectionism. A couple of the other doctors I met with were more flashy, more affordable and seemed to have done more rhinoplasties but I knew I was making the right choice. My surgery was on 8/1, almost two weeks ago, and I am so glad I went with Ridgway.

My confidence has been renewed - more than I could ask for
I was nervous about getting facial cosmetic surgery, and after waiting 6 years, I am beyond thrilled with my results. Dr. Ridgway and his staff genuinely care and made sure I understood everything I should expect. My confidence has been renewed and I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my face!

He delivered an absolutely wonderful result for my rhinoplasty
Dr. Ridgway is a fantastic doctor - he delivered an absolutely wonderful result for my rhinoplasty. I'm very glad that I trusted him throughout the process. Truly, a life-changing experience.

My nose looks normal and cute and l can breathe perfectly fine
20 years ago, l had an accident that broke my nasal septum. I had a surgery and since then l wasn't able to breath well from my left nostril, added to that issue it looked cosmetically horrible. I found Dr. Ridgway's office online and make an appointment. I had my surgery in Oct. 2022 and it was the best decision l've ever took in my entire life. The post-operatory process was very smooth, especially the pain was very well managed thanks to Dr. Ridgway's anesthesia technique.

Septorhinoplasty 3rd Revision!
I cannot recommend Dr. Ridgway and his team enough! They are true professionals in every sense. I had a very complicated septorhinoplasty and I was so nervous because this would be my 3rd revision. I had been to other top surgeons in the area for the two previous revisions with not so great results so you can imagine how scary this was for me. The other doctors did not even have follow up appointments after the initial 7-10 day stitch removal so that says a lot! Dr. Ridgway

Facelift - I am thrilled with the results
Over the past few years, I have contemplated a facelift. I am in shape and feel great, which no longer matches what I see in the mirror. I consulted with three local doctors and one out-of-state, all double-board certified and highly recommended. I chose Dr. Ridgway, and I am so glad I did. Here's why: 1/ His results. His work is superb, he is an artist with tremendous attention to detail, and it shows. I look just like me, but younger. No one could tell what I had done; they
