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.

Lifelong Doctor
I’ve been seeing Dr. Klipfel since birth, 25 years later and I will never switch. He has single handedly been the only doctor who has always been accurate, has always been trustworthy, and has always gone out of his way to fight for his patients. He truly is on your side. Incredible man and doctor!

Meds without testing
Saw this Dr for a wellness check. Tried to diagnose my 7 year old with diabetes just by looking at him. Suggested starting diabetes medication with zero testing. Surreal experience. Won't be back!

Outstanding clinically and exceptional human being
I'm a nurse (43 years) so it takes A LOT to impress me and Dr. Klipfel is the best. Took all 4 of my kids to him, completely trusted him. He listens to the child and parent, he explains what he is going to do, why, when... to the parent and child. Two of my kids, now young adults (27 and 29) still go to Dr. Klipfel. He is outstanding clinically and a wonderful human being. Highly recommend Dr. Klipfel!!!

By far my favorite Pediatrician! I had an issue with my 4 kids previously doctor where they said 2 of my 4 couldn't be seen by them anymore because they were non-vax patients (my newborn son and 4yr old daughter now with Autism because they failed to read her chart and tell me what they were doing. They are the reason I chose to not vaccinate my new son and daughter anymore) long story short - they made me find a new doctor for all 4 kids and I ended up finding DR. KLIPFEL from a friend's recommendation. We've been with him ever since (4 years) We always get in same day appointment, quickly returns after hours calls when one of my kids is sick, even does over the phone appts and calls in meds if I don't have time to physically get into the office. Everyone there is very polite and go above and beyond for you. I've never had even the smallest issue with anyone or anything since switching to them. You can't go wrong choosing his office. You'll only regret that you didn't sooner. ??

Took my child in for a sore throat and bumps on her head. He looked at her said she has an abscess that is causing both. No tests, no culture, just a look & gave her meds and sent us on our way. This is NOT good practice and now, a week later she is worse and has to go back. I would not recommend anyone going to a doctor that gives a diagnosis by looking at a patient and not running labs to see what is going on.

Dr. Klipfel has literally been a Godsend to our family!! He was able to help us when other doctors and hospitals could not figure out what was going on with my son. My son is now a healthy 22 year old college student, and still trusts Dr. Klipfel with all of his concerns. My 15 year old daughter also trusts him, and will not see any other doctor. We travel from Indiana to his office and it is so worth it! They know us the second we walk in the door, and are very thoughtful and understanding!

We've been seeing DR K for 9+ years. Many of our family and friends have switched to him as well. Great man who cares and actually listens to you! Friendly nursing staff as well.

Dr Klipfel is a wonderful pediatrician. He has cared for our son for several years now and is not only a great doctor, but compassionate and kind. My family and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a wonderful pediatrician who is easy to reach in emergencies, has a calming bedside manner and truly cares about his patients and their families.

Dr. Klipfel was recommended to me by Ob. nurses 27 years ago and I have been bringing my 3 kids to him ever since. He has been amazing. If my grown children could still see him, we would not switch.

Switched my two children to his practice, Front desk staff very rude, Nurse (Chris) EXTREMELY rude and disrespectful. Dr Klipfel prescribed my 11 year old daughter 750mg of metformin without any lab work. Told me to bring her back in 3 months. A few days after visit I started to question the medication . I called for reassurance and was told I would not be able to get in soon due to booked schedule. I ended up taking my child to a different Dr where labs were ran and all blood work came back ok
