Dr. Bridges is a General Surgeon with 23 years of experience in Alabama and North Carolina before moving to Grants. While majoring in math in college and deciding on a career choice, Dr. Bridges looked to medicine to give him the opportunity to combine a challenging field with his interest in numbers and his desire to work with people. He specialized in general surgery because he appreciates being able to fix a precise problem with a practical surgical solution, and he has the satisfaction of providing his patients with successful outcomes.  As a “country boy” himself, he wanted to practice in a small town, and combined with his love of hiking and mountain climbing, he has been very happy with his decision to move to Grants where he can practice medicine in an environment he enjoys in a special rural hospital with “great people”. When he is not doing surgery, Dr. Bridges is outdoors or traveling to places like Switzerland, Germany, and our local Four Corners.
