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.

Dr Knappman is a very caring personable and wonderful physician. I will truly Miss him upon his retirement. I wish him all the best.

Dr. Knappman takes time to answer questions. I have always been able to get a same day appointment if necessary. He is thorough and knowledgeable. I try to put-diagnose him but he almost always wins.

I have recently moved away from Merritt Island, and consider leaving Dr. Knappman as my primary care doctor as one of the biggest downsides of moving. Dr' Knappman attended my medical needs for almost 20 year and I never had a complaint. He listened to what I had to say, explained what he was doing, chided me for my bad habits and handled medical problems in a most professional manner. An excellent doctor!

Dr. K. is thorough and to the point when he does an exam. He is very prompt - almost never have to wait more than 10 minutes beyond my appt. time. He is always willing to discuss whatever medical problems that may be bothering me. A very trustworthy Dr.
