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.

Unbelievably bad
He told me people like me (“obese people ”) are going to be the downfall of civilization. I had recently gained a lot of weight after having an ovary removed. He was insulting and condescending.

I no longer see Dr Rapp because of his dismissive, condescending attitude. Does not listen to my concerns and I’m a nurse with extensive knowledge of my condition. He only spends a few minutes w me and then writes up his report in his office. I found five mistakes in my last one. Some could have been dangerous.I presented this to the clinic Mgr before I exited that clinic permanently. I feel badly for the pts who can’t pay attention to what he writes. I suppose his elderly pts think he’s at least OK

I agree with most of the other reviews. At first, Dr. Rapp seemed very thorough, but has become very impatient, rude, and condescending. The wait time from check in to seeing him has decreased, but it should since he spends maybe 2-3 minutes actually in the room. Very dismissive of anything I said. I’m not a doctor, but I’m not stupid either.

Not easy to talk to. Doesn't give you time to answer a question before he cuts you off to ask you another. We felt rushed as if we were wasting his time. Kept looking at me to answer my dads questions because he wasn't answering fast enough. Made me very uncomfortable.

I've been going to Dr Rapp for 9 years. At first he was great. Very thorough and explained how all my hormones interact and why I have to take so many mediations. Over time he has become very complacent with my treatment. Only spends two seconds with me, does not listen to me when I tell him I don't feel right and has a very rude tone. He won't perform tests I've asked him to do based on my own research and won't adjust my meds. So, as much as it's a pain to do, I'm changing doctors.

Very nice man. I went to him when I was extremely sick. MDs were shoving me full of steroids that threw off my entire endocrine system. He was very thorough and explained things well. While the end result was heart failure missed by other doctors, at the end of my visits he told me he was sorry that he couldn't help me because my endocrine system was fine now that the steroids were gone but that he knew I was sick. He repeated it over saying he believed me...which no other doctor seemed to.

Dr. Rapp is extremely condescending and rude and I believe it has to do with me being a woman. He wanted to talk to my husband about my medical decisions!!!
