Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

good doctor, bad front desk staff
Some years ago Dr. Kopp was my primary care physician. He asked about my general health condition and concerns during my first appointment. I was very healthy with one or two minor issues. He gave me a complete physical check-up and ordered lab tests for me. During my second visit, he explained the lab report in detail. He referred me to other specialists to get a complete picture of my health. I found that I had small kidney stones and should drink more water. I was happy to have Dr. Kopp as my PCP. However, I left him after a few more visits because I was afraid of his front desk staff member. She was temperamental, impatient, and hostile. She lost her temper when I asked a question or just to check-in. I became very anxious before an appointment. Eventually, I decided that I could not take any more of that abuse and left. I supposed Dr. Kopp did not know he had a staff member like that. If that woman is no longer there I will go back to Dr. Kopp.JD -

Needed to review blood results, but they canceled my virtual appointment literally minutes before the call stating insurance can no longer compensate them for "virtual" visits. They couldn't even call me for the results I paid for which leaves me in the lurch healthcare wise.

I went into the colonoscopy appointment with apprehension and a lot of anxiety. However, the moment I saw the team, I knew I was in good hands. Dr. Kopp was nice and the supportint team of nurses and technician was superb. They were warm and thoughtful people and technically excellent. I would recommend this team to my family and friends with no hesitation and am grateful that we have them to care for the patients.

I'm no longer a patient having terminated 6 months ago. His office would pester me routinely with calls to schedule a colonoscopy. His bedside manner can best be described as reptilian. I must pay homage however to his NPs and PA who did provide quality care but alas he went through them like the proverbial "sand through an hourglass. I wish them all well!

Needed a PC physician. Agreed to accept me ONLY if he will also perform colonoscopy. That’s where the money is! Always late (1 hour +) for appointment. Exams don’t appear to be thorough, more involved with note taking. Had to go back to my former PC, although his practice is concierge. Life is too precious to scrimp on one’s health.

Dr, Kopp is very knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. He takes the time to explain your condition(s) and the expectations around them. He entertains all your questions and has a matter-of-fact approach and directness that I very much appreciate. I couldn't ask for more attentive care. His wife assists with the practice in the front office and is a pleasure. He is in high demand AND takes his time with patients. This can translate into occasional waits and difficulty scheduling.

He will never see you unless you have surgery. And one of his receptionists (the younger one) is so unprofessional and rude. It's like you are bothering here with any interaction. Funny that I saw others commenting on the same thing. That's pretty rare to see multiple people say that but you'll see how annoying it is when you're dealing with them.

The most absolute worse place to go if you're looking for a PC. I don't know Dr. Kopp bc Ive never met him. I've only seen NP's, who have been rude and not providing any patient kindness. Takes them all day (each time) to call you back or they don't call at all. Front desk is also rude and disrespectful. This Doctor gets 1 star for me, only bc after I finally got my script after waiting 4 hrs (in pain)!! I"ll never go back. TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE!!

No proper follow-up; Rude reception staff.. very weird response to phone calls (especially by the front desk). The nurses are fine; the doctor - you see him rarely in the office!
