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.

Great doctor, front office stinks
Doc Rapp was fantastic. Quick diagnostically and helped me with the least invasive procedure. Only issue I had was his front desk was dysfunctional. Couldn't get paperwork or anything organized through them. I would hound their office for days for them to send me a single email with referral info.

Dr. Rapp is dismissive, aloof, and -most concerning - he does not perform critical follow-up. All the symptoms I shared with him pointed to a diagnosis that he said was impossible - lo and behold, another more competent doctor later found the condition was present and saved my life. Dr. Rapp also has his (very nice) nurse preform duties for which he should be responsible, including apologizing on his behalf. Avoid at all costs.

He was my longtime doctor so it's worse that I trusted him for years. Misdiagnosed me with a pulled muscle. Suggested physical therapy. I was on crutches for 5 months before having the sense to seek a second opinion. Turns out the stem of my prosthesis was broken inside the bone. Was told to immediately stop all activity and would need surgery. Was also told how lucky I was that it didn't break out of the bone/leg and this could have ended very badly. Not even an apology.
