5 Stars Are Not Enough to Describe Dr. James Ridgeway - Seattle, WA

James M. Ridgway, MD, FACS

Bellevue Facial Plastic Surgeon

Five stars are not enough to describe Dr. James Ridgeway, he is brilliant. Due to the anxiety, misery and pain I had after my first septorhinoplasty I hope you find this review helpful, because it truly comes from the bottom of my heart. I have never met a more caring, compassionate, attentive, courteous, explanatory, unpretentious, sincere and professional doctor in my life and I'm a registered nurse. (I was even able to reach him on his cell phone on Super Bowl Sunday with a question.) Dr. James Ridgeway, has returned my life to the way it once was, pain free, the ability to breathe, but with a prettier nose. He has also restored my sanity for several reasons, not only because of the physical pain after a year and a half, but the emotional stress I felt from the many doctors dismissing my pain. This may sound weak, but after I left those doctors I got into my car and cried, I feared that if I slept wrong, it was three days of my life with ice packs piled on my face, if I tied my shoes it was congestion that lead to what I once referred to as face pain, which lead to ice packs for three or more days. I am very grateful that I met Dr. Ridgeway a few months ago, I know that my septorhinoplasty revision is done the proper way. Whether elective or not, do yourself a favor and trust what I am telling you, it's my opinion this is one doctor who deserves the 5 stars on a review. My after surgery pictures have not been taken yet, I am willing to share if I can at a later date. I felt the need to share my experience because without me advocating for myself and finding Dr. Ridgeway, I wouldn't 't be the happiest women in the world right now. I am forever grateful because he too, believed that breathing isn't overrated and pain isn't imaginary.
