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.

Hip! Hip! Hurray!
Did my hip surgery and my pain went from a 10 to a 1 instantly. I haven't had any problems with it and he did a wonderful job.

Great staff, helpful polite, I was taken care of without having to wait very long. Dr Tipirneni was very good. Answered my questions regarding my upcoming surgery. I felt confident that he would do a good job. I was able to add anesthesia to my procedure even though it was only going to be a local. I did not want to be awake for this. I was accommodated without hassle. Good place to go if you need any orthopedic procedures that Dr does.

Front office Sarah
I called the office of Dr. Tipirneni. I spoke with Sarah, asking her questions about Dr. Tipireni. Sarah was very informative, advised me what information I could send to Dr. Tipirneni pre appointment as I would have to drive 400 miles for appt. Sarah is a great example of the value of doctors having an excellent pro-active front office staff person.

I would not see him again. He gave me a cortisone injection without giving me aMRI first. After the injection I was not able to walk for one week. I went somewhere else and after a MRI the second doctor found a fracture and a torn ligament. Stay away. Not competent and very quick. Does not pay attention to your needs.

Wouldn't choose him again. Asked no questions, no follow up . Received a shot. I felt as if I wasn't important since there wasn't surgery involved. Office staff is wonderful.

Saw my wife after a fall 2 times and did not do xrays said at her age it would take a long time to heal. Went to a different Orthopedic surgeon he immediately did xrays and surprise she had a broken elbow with a displaced fracture and a cracked knee cap.

I'm a physician, and I know a lot of orthopedic surgeons, but when I needed to have a knee replacement, I chose to see Dr. Kishore Tipirneni. He and his staff are excellent, and he has a wonderful team that he works with at Abrazo Arrowhead Hospital. Some day I will probably have to have my other knee replaced, and I will go back to Dr. Tipirneni.

Dr. Tipirneni is an excellent doctor. He fixed my daughters hand, which was broken in two spots and now she is back participating in her sport in only two months since her injury. The office itself is very efficient. We have never had to wait over ten minutes in the waiting room. I would highly recommend Dr. Tipirneni.

Dr. Tipirneni didn't offer any rx prescription or after care recommendations for pain management. He was in and out of the exam room so quickly, I had to hobble down the hall to ask more questions. He advised surgery. With his lack of communication and people skills, why would I want him to do surgery on my knee? I had to research additional info online. Pretty sad, huh? I will be seeking medical attention someplace else.
