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.

Dr Happ and his staff are wonderful! Always caring and prompt appointments and he actually helps his patients!!!

25 years of dilibating pain gone after 3 visits
3 years of pain management wasted time and money. Never a triage performed by a doctor only NPs & PAs. DR Happ triage issues and immediately knew the problems. After 2 surgical procedures all pain is gone.

I recently was operated on by Dr. Happ. The entire process leading up to surgery was one of the most professional and enjoyable experiences I have ever had with a doctor/surgeon. During the Corona Virus, things were not ideal, but the staff was so attentive, checking in on me weekly. Always making sure I had everything I needed. Gave me updates as soon as they had them. One of the staff even called and allowed me to text her if there was anything I needed. Went above and beyond and I just cannot say enough about the staff and of course Dr. Happ was outstanding. I am 2 weeks out of a disc replacement and feeling outstanding. Highly recommended to anyone who is in need!

I cannot begin to express the gratitude I feel towards Dr. Happ & Staff. Combat wounded vet with previous L5/S1 surgery in Italy. L4/L5 bulged. It got to the point where I was duck walking. Dr. Happ took the time to carefully review the MRI and Xray's and surgery was NOT his jump off point but rather the last resort. When it came time, his Staff walked me through all the preperation. Ashley also ensured that all the paperwork was submitted to my work for my disability claim and she answered questions expeditiously as we led up to surgery. The day of surgery was a nervous one for sure, but I trusted Dr. Happ. Surgery seems to have been successful and I am getting stronger every day as physical therapy continues. I understand every back surgery has risks but Dr. Happ and his Staff did everything they could to make it as seamless as possible. A careful combination of professionalism, skill and compassion are what sets Dr. Happ and his Staff above the rest.

I have been relatively healthy and active through my mid 50's. Then out of nowhere, I developed right sided sciatica. The pain had became debilitating. I went to Dr. Christopher Happ, who looked at my MRI (clearly showing the issue), explained exactly what was going on, and that he could fix it with a day surgery. Not wanting to jump directly to surgery, Dr. Happ worked well with me to explore all non-surgical options. I went to a Chiropractor, physical therapy, and eventually spinal injections. After exhausting the non-surgical options, I scheduled the surgery with Dr. Happ. Absolutely amazing!! The sciatica pain completely gone immediately. The surgery was a half day event, and I was up and walking around directly after. Now 10 days after, I feel great. I still need to rest and heal, but I don't regret my decision for one second. Dr. Happ and his staff have been wonderful.

Dr. Happ preformed fusion surgery on my lumbar spine. While my recovery has been a little slower than expected I have had no complications and the severe pain I was in has been totally resolved. During all of my follow up visits Dr. Happ and his staff have been very attentive to my concerns about recovery. Dr. Happ spent almost 45 minutes with me discussing every detail and confirming that my recovery was proceeding properly and both of us are convinced I will make a full recovery. Dr. Happ is a very special man that genuinely concerned for his patients full recovery.

I enjoy my visits with Dr. Happ and his staff. When I first met Dr. Happ, I was nerves about having back surgery, he took his time to explain the type of procure that I would have. My husband was impressed with the way Dr.Happ, took time to explain how he repair the discs in my back. His staff is friendly and very helpful whenever I need help filling out paperwork or needing a specific time to come for my follow-up appointment. I share with family and friends Dr. Happ, information if they need a great orthopedic surgeon.

As soon as Dr. Happ's team had the details of my radiology they went into overdrive to get me set up for surgery. The folks on his team were caring, professional and kind from start to finish. I cannot say enough good things and I previously worked around one of the most world renowned spinal centers.

Dr. Happ is the ultimate professional. He is a surgeon that does everything he can to avoid doing surgery on you. In the end, I was in so much pain and we had exhausted all options. He performed a lower fusion on me and I felt better instantly. It has now been six months since the surgery and I feel better than I have in over a decade. Not only is Dr. Happ an amazing surgeon, his office staff is so friendly and attentive. This whole group of people truly care about the patient, which is very refreshing.

Dr. Happ and his staff were polite, courteous, and professional from beginning to end. I don’t like doctors but Dr. Happ is an exception to this rule. What I like about him most is always wanting to go the conservative route he wants to heal your body minimally invasive as possible.
