Very informative took the time to explain everything and give options to me
I have had neck and lower back fusion by Dr Ripa. I went from being in excruciating pain prior to surgery and pain free after surgery and returned to a normal life. Dr. Ripa always spends the time to thoroughly explain the procedure so that I understood exactly what was needed to fix the medical condition. He also listens to his patients' questions and concerns.
Liked very munch
Kind, friendly manner Didn’t try to push surgery Offered other options first
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!!
