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.

15 years since my surgery and still going STRONG!
It's been 15 years since Dr. Rippentrop performed my prostectomy surgery in 2009. Every yearly checkup since, has been great. No cancer. I live in Waterloo and I'm gonna schedule an appointment just to see him again, thank him again and visit with him. The co-pay is worth it. Words just can't do enough to express my gratitude. I read a terrible review earlier, berating Dr. Rippentrop. The way I see it, some people you just can't please or satisfy no matter what you do. I have told several acquaintances, if diagnosed with prostate cancer, make your appointment with Dr. Rippentrop. Thank you again Dr. Jonathan Rippentrop. Sincerely Sammy A. Hopkins

Wish I could give a minus one star. I thought because he had positive ratings on Healthgrades that he would be a good doctor. I was wrong. My health was compromised because of an error by him. To me, he seemed arrogant and did a poor job explaining and providing important information. So sorry I went to him.

I have had 2 prostate operations 10 years apart performed by Dr. Rippentrop and both went very smooth, his knowledge, manner and intrest in each and every patient is well above the norm for specialized medicine. I would not even think of another Urology Specialist for treatment.

The absolute best!!! I was diagnosed with a kidney tumor by my GP. He saw me within the hour and set me at complete ease by his manner, obvious level of knowledge and compassion. Any visit I had prior to surgery, I left his office being completely confident in him as well. My surgery was a success and he saw me minutes prior to surgery and in his phenomenal manner, I left for the operating room without anxiety. He is personable, not arrogant or aloof. He deserves an Oscar!
