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.

He destroyed my foot. I now have a bunion, a big toe that leans into the next toe, numb toes and ball of my foot. Also a knot on the ball of my foot that is numb at all times. At times I can't bend my foot without extreme pain.

I made appointment with Doctor Ripp but without my knowledge, it was switched to his assistant, so I feel somewhat betrayed, because I spend a lot of time to check doctor ‘s experience and ratings before I made appointment.

Dr. Ripp seemed very likable and I was encouraged because he told me he would keep helping me till we got it fixed. Surgery by another doctor left me disabled and in severe pain.

He Saved Me!!
There are so many things that I can say about Dr.Ripp. He is Kind, Understanding, Caring and Funny! When I first met Dr. Ripp I was at the end of my rope! I was in constant pain and ready to give up, wanting an amputation. I had tried every possible treatment for my CRPS & Tarsal Tunnel that was available at that time. He suggested giving 1 more treatment a try, a Peripheral Nerve Stimulator and 4 years later and having 1 in each foot, we are making steps to make my pain more manageable and hopefully getting me back to my normal self in the future! Dr. Ripp saved me! He has given me a better quality of life, which I didn’t think could ever be possible. I could go on and on about all the ways he has changed my life for the better but I encourage you to find out for yourself! My Family and I will always be Grateful for Dr. Ripp, his staff and his Product Reps!

Finally someone that cares!
I can’t put into words what it means to know that you have a doctor that actually listens to what’s going on and assesses the actual concerns you have versus what they feel is going on and racing to the next patient. Dr. Ripp was not only thorough but compassionate and patient with me. He is thorough and provided options for me versus just a diagnosis. There’s something to be said for a person who doesn’t make you feel like your questions are invalid. Dr. Ripp was amazing.
