I actually saw his PA, Carley…she is excellent at putting you at ease for knee treatment with injections. Very personable and takes time to answer questions.
He is the absolute best!!!
Very thorough and professional. Attentive to my individual need.
Very knowledgeable and honest about telling me about the surgery
Dr. Slappy’s PA did an excellent job questioning, listening, and advising.
I can seriously say that I've never met a Doctor like Dr.Slappey in my life. Immediately my wife and l felt comfortable and welcome with his entry. What a great personality, great eye contact, and truly listening to everything my husband had to say. He took x-rays and came in and sat up on the exam table next to my husband and explained every detail to us. When l saw him sit next to my husband on the exam table l saw in him something l had never seen before. He was truly a healer, an old soul that really cared. He is extremely professional, knowledgeable, articulate, caring, and yet down to earth. The best appointment that I've ever had. I truly mean every word l say. I was blessed to be cared for by Dr.Slappey. Thanks beyond and God Bless You Doc.
Great doctor that took his time in explaining everything to me.
He was I’m formative, patient, and answered all my questions. He even took the time to look at my ankle problem and told me how to take care of it.
Thanks for being so prompt!!
A GREAT surgeon who cares about his patients!
