Great guy!

So impressed. He ordered extra x-rays based on his suspicion that my neck was the cause of my back pain. We learned a lot from the second set of x-rays. He spent plenty of time with me going over the x-rays and answering my questions.

Dr. Ripa & his staff were very thorough in my assessment. I didn't handle one of my cortisone shots very well. He never made me feel ashamed & reassured me.

This is the second time as a patient with Dr Ripa and I am happy this time as well. He is very honest and patient. He makes sure that I understand fully and what needs to be done. I had a major back surgery and that was my first encounter. It was scary but in no way did I feel unsafe in his hands. I felt like I knew what was going on and what would be happening. Thank you for your help.
