Dr. Ripa is married and has two daughters. During the summer months, chances are you will find him on his John Deere tractor or Gator. You may also see him playing his trumpet at Wilber Czech Days which takes place each August in Wilber, Nebraska.

Very down to earth
Dr. Ripa inspires, and deserves, my complete confidence. He combines a lifetime of knowledge and skill with compassion and kindness.
Wonderful bed side manner, listened to all my concerns.
Dr Ripa is an excellent surgeon. He's always friendly and professional and takes the time to listen and explain all options available. I've been through two separate spinal fusions both completed by Dr Ripa. Prior to the surgeries, I was in extreme pain and after surgery all pain was gone and I was able to return back to a normal life. I am so grateful for Dr Ripa and his team, Nichole and Brian.
Thank you for all you have done to help me!!!
Dr. Ripa is friendly, courteous, knowledgeable and a joy to come see. If you follow his recommendations, you'll be good!! Thank you, Dr. Ripa!!
He is very patient, explains everything well, and is open to questions and comments. I have gotten Synvisc knee injections since 2015 and he is the first provider who has ever given a numbing medicine prior to the injection. The injection was much less painful than it usually is.
Dr. Ripa took his time with me. Did not make me feel he was rushed. Asked a couple of times if I had any questions. Answered all my questions and addresses all my concerns.
Dan has always provided good care and expertise for me. Some thirty years he offers solution to my health problems and is to be commended . Lgn
Very accommodating and thorough.
