Great Service here. Very Patient.
Excellent communication. Very professional. Efficient.
He talk my language I could understand
Dr. Hippensteel took the time to thoroughly explain my X-Ray results in a clear and concise manner. I truly appreciated his efforts. If you are seeking a professional doctor who can effectively communicate complex medical concepts, Dr. Hippensteel is an excellent choice.
I visited with this doctor twice and couldn't return. His attitude is horrible, he doesn't care about his patients, and while I was in the xray room my daughter overheard him talking very negatively about another patient to the nurse. Despite my need for continued care, I could not return to this doctor.
