I recently had an upper and lower eye lift and a jaw defining procedure (both at the same time), by Dr. Ridgway. I am thrilled with the results. I wanted a subtle result that gave me a fresh face without making it look like I had done something major. I am so pleased with the results. The recovery time was very minimal and I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. I would highly recommend Dr. Ridgway.
Like several other reviewers I also had previous surgeries from other surgeons that left me with less than desirable results. The charming and skilled Dr. Ridgeway not only corrected the previous surgeries but also gave me a lift that makes me look at least a decade younger. My friends and family are amazed at his amazing work. Thank you very much Dr. R.
I have an 8 year old son who had some pretty large & protruding ears; he was starting to get teased at school. I started to research doctors who do Otoplasty (ear pinning). All of my research led me to Dr Ridgway. When we met, I knew he was the one to take care of my baby! He made sure that this was something he wanted to do. We received a very detailed description of what was going to happen before, during, and after. We also got his cell number just in case I had questions during recovery. He did such a wonderful job, it looks so natural! If I could give 10 stars, I would!!!
Dr. Ridgway is an amazing, caring, attentive, and talented physician and I’m SO thankful that I chose him. He was an artist prior to becoming a physician and it truly shows. The office staff is also wonderful…friendly, caring and efficient. I highly recommend Newvue!
Dr James Ridgway has been a blessing in my life. Very professional yet so down to earth this man is. He takes the extra time to get to know u personally. Thank you Dr Ridgway for restoring my life back to being beautiful and normal. Also like to thank the wonderful staff for there kindness professionalism.
I found Dr. Ridgway after hours of research and review scouring. I was looking to get a facial trauma scar touched up, and wanted to find the best surgeon. Upon research I decided to commute 2 hours for his services. He has lived up to every expectation! Him and his staff are extremely professional, efficient, gentle, and friendly. I had no doubt at any time that they was doing the best job possible. You can’t find a better surgeon.
I can’t truly articulate the huge blessing I received as the result of Dr. Ridgway having the heart and impeccable talent to take on my challenging reconstruction. Not only was I discouraged from past corrective surgeries to fix my fractured nasal bone graph, which left me swapping one problem for three problems, but also from reaching out to highly acclaimed plastic surgeons who dismissed me saying I was better leaving things alone and that there really wasn’t much they could do and played down my issues. This was very hard emotionally and on my self-esteem.
I did end up walking away from the hope I could be restored in my area where there had been so much trauma emotionally and physically. After some time passed, my unhappiness with being left with my outsides physically not matching my insides, I decided to try one last effort to get help and knew I would be okay with what the outcome of that consultation would be. So Dr. Ridgway was the “last house on the block” literally for me.
Not only was I surreally surprised by his ultimate answer being he was willing to take on my surgery, but it was the first time since being a teen that I truly had authentic hope. This was due to his differences from any other prior doctors I had seen for surgery or consults, and not only could I feel that, which is huge, but I knew it by what he said as well as the way he spoke to me. Being the leading ENT facial reconstuctive surgeon around was a pretty big factor as well!
Dr. Ridgway was detailed and clear on a whole different level than what I had ever experienced. I realize now it’s completely because he fully had the skillset to handle a highly detailed highly problematic case like mine, so he could clearly and thoroughly talk about it as he had all the capabilities and talent to address it! When one doesn’t really know how to correct something with the artistry to match the competency, only the bare minimum is discussed, or one is brushed off and made to feel minimized and not cared for. This had been my experience up to this point.
I have felt cared for from the onset! It has only increased with time and has continued with my post-op care I continue to receive. It’s remarkable. His staff is excellent and caring, and Dr. Ridgway is a highly talented meticulous surgeon who is an artist, literally, and has the most compassion and patience I have ever received from any kind of doctor period. I cannot give enough stars for him! He truly “saw” me for who I was, am, and brought my outsides in alignment with my insides. Pretty crazy with the challenges/mess he had to work with! His work was a miracle restoration which I will be eternally grateful for. Dr. Ridgway and his staff are angels.
I had a septalrhinoplasty following a Moh’s procedure at a different clinic to remove a basil cell carcinoma from my nose. Dr. Ridgeway and his staff were amazing, going above and beyond my expectations.
Dr. Ridgeway not only corrected my breathing problem from a deviated septum that had previously been undiagnosed by other physicians, he also corrected the previous surgery to remove the cancer which had made my deviated septum even worse and made breathing through my nose impossible without breath-right strips 24/7.
I was very impressed with the care and the time that Dr. Ridgeway spent with me and my family. He makes himself accessible by phone 24/7, (he picks up, not a nurse or a receptionist) and is meticulous about making a normally painful procedure as comfortable as possible. He hand-picks his staff, including the anesthesia team.
I was AMAZED with the lack of bruising and swelling following the procedure and how manageable the pain was.
A far cry from the doc-in-the-box experience where quantity overrides quality. On the day of surgery, I was told that I was his only patient because he cleared his schedule just to focus on my case. This is how medicine should be practiced! Thank you!!!
Dr. Ridgway is the ultimate surgeon in terms of skill, integrity, and compassion. I know this from having spent over 10 years desperately pursuing very difficult facial reconstruction with several of the top recommended surgeons from around the country, including New York City, Boston, Atlanta, San Francisco, and Dallas, and achieving very limited (and sometimes actually detrimental or worsening) results, and never getting more than a half-hearted commitment to my admittedly challenging case. My experience with Dr. Ridgway has been a huge break-through for me. His technical mastery easily exceeds the top surgeons in his field, but his character and charisma sets him apart from any other doctor I have ever met. He has a seemingly tireless passion for his work and commitment to his patients that is truly rare. He is warm, caring, and unusually personable and communicative. Thanks to him, my long ordeal has finally ended and I’ve realized outstanding results. I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have found him and I highly recommend him.
Dr. James Ridgway is a fabulous facial plastic surgeon! He has done my Botox and Juvederm / Voluma for years; always with perfect results. He has also done laser on different areas of my face and neck, with amazing results. I am 62 years old and people are always surprised when they find out my age, stating that I look years younger. I attribute that to Dr. Ridgway’s artistry and expertise. All that and a superb human being!
Dr Ridgway is an artist. No really… He’s an artist first and also a double board certified plastic surgeon. He is talented, intelligent, extremely skilled and a warm and caring human. It took a great leap of faith for me to proceed with a face lift and fat transfer but Dr Ridgway was so filled with kindness and confidence and he told me I would still be me… I’d just look 10 years younger. I’m about 8 weeks post surgery and I’m so grateful that I chose Dr Ridgway. I’m very happy. He delivered.
I have had a lot of procedures done by surgeons in my life. Dr. Ridgway is easily the best I’ve ever encountered.
Dr. Ridgway performed my revision rhinoplasty about 5 weeks ago. I have already noticed a large improvement though my nasal tip is still swollen. I had my first rhinoplasty performed on me about 2,5 years ago and needed a revision because the cosmetic results were not what I expected (bulbous tip) and septum was re-deviated.
During my initial consultation with Dr. Ridgway I felt very comfortable within minutes. After the consultation I booked surgery right away and stopped looking for other surgeons. He took his time explaining everything to me, and this made me feel very confident to go ahead with the surgery. We made a computer model of the desired nose.
The surgery was easy, I have not had any bruises. Dr. Ridgway has great bedside manner, and has made this experience a breeze. He is talented, genuine, warm, and honest, he will not perform anything on you if he feels that you don’t need. I am so happy that I have found a surgeon who I trust, and that is the most important thing when choosing a doctor. In my opinion, Dr. Ridgway is a true Artist and his Gods are Beauty and Proportion but not Money.
Dr. Ridgway is my go to Dr. when I have facial concerns and issues. He is more than competent, knowledgeable,and skilled, and I would recommend him to anyone. He listens, and takes time to explain any procedure thoroughly, so you have a total understanding of all the options available. If you are looking for positive results, Dr. Ridgway will not disappoint !
I did my research for a very long time before choosing Dr Ridgway. I could not be happier with the time, attention, and skilled hands of this amazing surgeon. I have recommended him to my friends and family and they’ve all been so pleased. There are lots of choices. He is a good one!
Just had Rhinoplasty surgery to correct horrendous breathing I have lived with my whole life. Dr. Ridgeway was my surgeon. He is simply the best. I came in to get a complimentary consultation and learn more about the procedure & Dr. Ridgeway explained everything so well I decided to go ahead with it. Now I don’t let just anybody cut me open, but I had confidence in his abilities and have to say his unique style suited me perfectly. His pure talent was on display during the surgery and post op. Most wonderful doctor. Very thankful I found him. He helped me breathe like I never have before.
Dr.James Ridgway is a great surgeon. He did some surgery on me with outstanding results. He takes his time to discuss options and balances realistic expectations. I never felt rushed like with other doctors. I trust him. He’s a perfectionist. Also, the price of surgery was very reasonable and fair.
The Staff is very kind and professional too. I am happy I did it and would return
in the future.
Dr. Ridgway is an amazingly talented and compassionate surgeon. After interviewing multiple plastic surgeons I chose to have my facelift performed by him. As I look in the mirror I have absolutely no regrets! I feel so fortunate to have met this talented and amazing individual. He truly cares about his patients and with an artistic eye he is able to accomplish what I had hoped. Five stars is not a high enough rating for how I feel and the results that were achieved.
James Ridgway is not only an extremely talented surgeon but is also a really smart and nice guy. He is great at communicating about all aspects of the process, he ensures that you are taken care of and that you leave with the best possible results. I highly recommend Dr. Ridgway.
