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.

Hands-down, he’s the best
Thank you so much to Dr Hippensteel! He caught everything Banner missed performed the surgery I desperately needed and now even two weeks postop from hip arthroscopy surgery. I am doing better than I could’ve imagined and I am in less pain than I was before. The surgery for me was definitely worth it. I am beyond grateful to Dr Hippensteel and his entire staff.

1st Appointment with Dr. Hippensteel
Dr. Hippensteel was very professional and took his time trying to understand my medical issue. He asked several questions to find out what my problem was and then put together a plan to help with my issue.

With a name like Hippensteel
Had issues with my hip and a number of more unrecognized diseases like Lyme that Dr. Hippensteel was very open minded to hear my experience and even more understanding of the circumstance. I was thoroughly impressed with hippensteels patience to explaining all my questions. I have seen many doctors over the years for my Lyme some of which were bad experiences however i can say hippensteel truly wants to help and doesn’t look at his patients like another number.

Hip and knee popping and cracking
I received a referral from my family physician after having reduced mobility after an accident. Dr. Hippensteel gave me a thorough exam, ordered X-rays on site and explained my condition to me in a professional manner. I also received referrals to specialists who could take care of my condition and set in action the process for me to get better. I can't thank Dr Hippensteel enough!
