Patient Reviews
Aug 29, 2023
Dr. Pridgen is the kindest, most gentle doctor I have ever had. He did my hernia surgery, my gallbladder surgery and my reflux surgery. He has completely turned my life around. I feel better than I have in a very long time! He is very thoughtful and also very thorough! I have sent several family members and friends to him.
