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.

Great doctor- knowledgeable!
My first visit with Dr. Aippersbach took quite a while- I brought in my pathology report along with other med. notes. She asked more questions and took the time to explain a plan of action for my particular type of cancer, I received handouts and an explanation of what my treatment would consist of.: Pre-treatment CT scan, number of treatments, possible side effects (mostly being tired) regular check-ups, and follow up visits. She was thorough and thoughtful and would often ask if I had questions. She made sure the treatments and my area of treatment was not too harsh. Dr. Aippersbach has a great personality, is very well-educated and professional, but also treated me as an individual and not just another cancer patient.
