"Doctor and staff were both absolutely incredible! Dr. Rippel was so patient, kind, and listened to all of my concerns. I didn’t feel rushed or that I needed to hurry. The only two reasons I’m not giving a full 5 star review is because our wait time was extremely long and there was zero entertainment for children in the pediatric GI office."

"Dr.Rippel was my oldest daughters doctor over 7 years ago. She was kind and listened. So when my granddaughter has to go see a specialist, I wanted it to be Dr. Rippel."

"I recently took my daughter for further care to Dr Rippel’s clinic. I couldn’t possibly put into words how impressed I was with her staff, the clinic’s presentation, and Dr Rippel herself. My daughter absolutely adored her and felt listened to. She is a teenager, so when she voiced her optimism and love for Dr Rippel once in the car, it only confirmed my feelings. To be honest, I’m sad that she is a pediatric specialist, because I sure wish I could be a patient. This woman is pure intelligence and care rolled into one awesome human!"
