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.

Terrible
Such a waste of time, does not care about diagnosing and only wants to do whatever is profitable, aka surgery. Yelled at me in his office and disgusting bedside manner

Awful and neglectful
Due to Dr. Striplin’s negligence of not ordering an MRI, I was quickly sent out of his office with a “sprained left knee.” During the visit, he turned to me and said, “Walk!” My knee buckled immediately. I asked twice for an MRI and was denied immediately. Three months down the road, I got that MRI. Torn meniscus, chipped patella, and a sprained medial collateral ligament, lateral collateral ligament, and ACL. Thanks Dr. Striplin. You’re a real charm!

Shoulder Surgery Success!
Dr. Striplin is wise and honest. He does not rush one into surgery. He is thoughtful and time-efficient. When surgery is necessary, he walks you through the process so you know what to expect and follows up after surgery to make sure you are progressing and answers all your questions. Dr. Striplin is the best!

Great attention to my needs and gave sound direction on a solution to my damaged shoulder. Also, I experienced far less pain than expected after surgery.

Dr. Striplin is appropriately friendly, kind, a good listener and doesn't speak down to me. His replies to my questions are understandable and thorough without making me feel rushed. And he makes sure I understand that my health care is my decision after giving his recommendations. It's nice to like and trust your doctor.
