Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Very Highly Recommended!
I was referred to Dr. Adam Klipfel due to large colon polyps that kept coming back. Although I am a healthcare worker myself, it was my first time having surgery and I was anxious to say the least. He performed a partial colectomy at Miriam Hospital this past January, and everything went as well as can be. There were no complications, and almost 5 months later it's like it never happened.Only a few small negatives... At both office visits there was a long wait in the exam rooms, but I do expect that when seeing a surgeon. Trying to reach the office by phone often was difficult and once you did it was common to be on hold for some time. I will forever be grateful for Dr. Klipfel and hi team for restoring me to good health and return to work at a physical job in good time.

Questionable/horrible. He performed a colostomy reversal on me Oct. 18, 2019 at Miriam and LEFT TWO ITEMS IN MY ABDOMEN! I passed them rectally in my toilet bowl after I got home from hospital, 6 days later!! His office denies leaving foam plugs in my abdomen. I know no one placed them up my anus! Miriam is allegedly “investigating”. I think I’m fine but still have an unhealed abdominal wound. Not a happy camper here... Be careful with Klipfel. He also left a surgical bridge in my stoma when he created my colostomy at Christmas.

Adam Kipfel was present and engaged before, during, and after my surgery. He took responsibility with compassion and cheerfulness. I give him the highest recommendation possible.

Dr Klipfel is the reason I am able to live a somewhat normal life today. I had a condition where my large intestines stopped working, and he performed a complete colectomy to allow my body to start having motility again. He has an amazing beside manner, and a vast as well as current knowledge of all the latest and greatest procedures and protocols. I will forever be grateful to him for changing my life,
