William Bridgeman, MD

I care for newborns in the nursery and premature infants in the special care nursery at Cincinnati Children’s. My first look into pediatric medicine began at age nine, when I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. The kindness and expertise of my pediatricians left a lasting impression and ultimately inspired me to follow in their footsteps.

During residency, I found my calling in the newborn nursery. There’s something incredibly meaningful about being present at the very start of life, and I’ve been passionate about supporting families through those first moments ever since.

I’m committed to providing thoughtful, up-to-date care and believe that clear, compassionate communication is just as important as clinical expertise. I know how many questions come with a new baby, and I take the time to listen, explain and partner with families to make the best decisions together.

When I’m not at the hospital, you’ll likely find me running (often with my dog, Milo, in tow), cheering on Cincinnati sports teams, or catching up on European soccer. I also love spending time with my wife and our family, especially during our getaways to Lake Cumberland.
