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 never sat down and stood with a condescending attitude! He didn’t discussed the test results I was there for. I didn’t trust his advise. He seemed more interested in the sample medications rather than me.

My husband and I both see Dr. Hippal. He is a very caring and compassionate physician who cares about the whole person. We are very pleased with the care we receive. I am a retired RN who is very picky about the doctors we see. There can be a wait when the doctor has an emergency, but they give us the option of seeing a nurse practitioner or waiting for the doctor.

I would not even leave a 1 star , my wife was having issues with her heart and he just walked in the room and quickly referred her to see a Lung doctor. We went to or primary doctor and he ordered a CT scan of her heart and found out that she has 3 blocked arteries and needs immediate surgery. The billing department will over charge you too. (CROOKS) . There are many Cardiologist to pick from, do not go see this one.

I recently had an appointment with this doctor. He was curt, insulting, and dismissive from the moment he walked into the examination room until the time he--finally--left. Normally, I will not see a male physician because of their condescending behavior towards female patients. In this case, however, I had no choice. Thankfully, there was nothing wrong with my heart. I was very relieved I would not need a follow-up appointment. His comment that I see a psychiatrist in response to my explanation that I had developed some bad habits due to acute grief was probably one of the most disrespectful things ever said to me by a physician. I also waited approximately 90 minutes to see him. This seems to be a consistent pattern. It is disrespectful to keep one's patients waiting for such a long period of time. I find it hard to believe there is a cardiac emergency at the hospital every day. I think this serves as a convenient excuse when patients are overbooked.

Probably a great doctor, but left without being seen. Not worth a 3 hour wait.

My name is Dan Adzic in 1999 Dr Hipple put a stint in my heart. My wife made me go see him after I fell on a roof I was working on and didn't know how I got on the roof deck my co workers said that I was just standing there and dropped like a sack of potatoes. It was a Thursday when I went to see Dr. Hipple, I had the angioplasty done on Friday, and it didn't work so he put a stint in and it worked . He saved my life or I wouldn't be writing this. Thank You Dr. Hipple
