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.

Little to no after surgery care
It is next to impossible to get anyone on the phone from Dr Peppers office and getting a return call is just as bad. After knee replacement surgery, May 15, 2023, infection was present when I was kicked out of hospital & went back by ambulance one day later. Now I have a blood clot in the back of my knee & my leg is numb and can get no response from office. I was not informed how much pain is involved post surgery nor what to expect. My knee is stiff & numb and so much pain I have not been able to sleep in over a week I have complained to office about this and was dismissed.

Not happy patient & scared of losing my leg – Jul 07, 2023

What out for insurance verification
Dr. Pepper and Robby are very attentive to all my issues along with the rest of the staff except for Susan molina she lies and gives out incorrect information such as not knowing what is going on she very definitely needs to be replaced with someone who has a better understanding of how to do her job professionally and not like she has no clue of what is going on. I have been treated for a injury for the last three weeks and she just told the workers comp. Representative that they had not seen me even once which is a blatant lie. In my opinion she should be replaced

The staff, as well as Dr. Pepper, are always friendly and accommodating. Dr. Pepper is very professional during your visit with him and takes great care with your treatment. He explains what he is going to do, answers your questions, and doesn't waste your time. I would highly recommend him.

I Love Dr Peppers office, they are always busy, but do their best to take care of each patient. They do an awesome job of answering my questions, and getting my services taken care of. Dr Pepper did a Total hip on me this year, and I have felt 100 times better since.

I am very pleased with my surgery that was done 2/8/19 by Dr. Pepper. I had right carpal tunnel release surgery. My had feel great and the incision looks really good. Dr. Pepper and the hospital staff was awesome. Everyone was very informative, very detailed, courteous, polite, answered all my questions. Over all I have no complaints and look forward to him doing the same surgery on my left hand.

I would never recommend him. I had emergency hip surgery by him and bc of it I was on a walker for 10-11 months. I went to a different doctor and had to have a complete hip replacement. There was so much damage from the first surgery it took longer than expected in surgery..the second one.

Dr Pepper was recommended by a friend for shoulder surgery. I had surgery on both shoulders within 4 months. Dr Pepper was very accommodating, especially when my second surgery was an urgent one. He was able to do the surgery the next day after seeing him. Recovery went well in both cases. He is a superb doctor! Highly recommend.

Do not expect good bed side manners. Had surgery on knee. Dr. never came to talk to me before and after he doesn't come to talk to your family member -he calls them. Since the surgery I have never seen him again, I always get scheduled with the PA. I was given a machine to use with no instruction. I tried contacting the office several times with no response. So I just guessed. It has been 6 weeks and I still have pain and swelling. Finally had physical therapy scheduled last week. Not a good exp

Terrible office staff, no one ever returns your calls or answers the phone. I used Dr. Pepper several years ago and he was fine. Don't know what happened but I called off my surgery because I lost all trust in him and his office staff.

Dr Peppers staff is horrible. The front ladies are rude. The office manager seems unhappy with her duties in the office. I had surgery a week ago and had to fight a week to get the to pre auth. I made a trip to the office an sat there in the waiting room till the issues were resolved. Seems like nobody there can do simple math or do what they are there for. I love Dr. Pepper heat s amazing don't get me wrong. His staff on the other hand.....well I'm Christian an choose not to use foul words
