"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."

"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!"
