Although Dr. Rapp is a surgeon, he is open-minded and will discuss and recommend less invasive procedures when warranted. Very friendly personality that immediately puts you at ease.

Dr. Rapp was very concerned about my condition. He was very pleasant and wanted to make sure I received the best care. I have seen many Doctors and I can say he is one of the best I have ever seen. He made sure to listen to my concerns. And wanted to make sure I received the proper care.

I appreciate that Dr. Rapp gives me his undivided attention when I am with him, and that he generally runs on time. But that also means that when my allotted time is up, he is quick to say goodbye. I wish things were just a little less rushed.

Unfortunately I have had the opportunity to meet a lot of DR’s due to the various challenges life has thrown at me. Dr Rapp stands out as one of the best I’ve utilized. I have learned there are a lot of various signs and symptoms to every illness/injury. The single most important one, is the PATIENT, and that in my opinion, is the one Dr Rapp pays the most attention to. When I need a Spine surgeon, I travel 500 miles to see him.

He and his staff went above and beyond, and were able to get an appointment with another provider that same day. Since we were in from out of state, this was truly appreciated.

He focused on me and included my wife when appropriate. He did not rush the appointment looking at a watch/clock to hurry on to the next patient as so many doctors do today.

Knowledgeable, explained things well, all my issues may not be just from my back, he explained what may cause some of my other issues, and said that when I am in the hospital , he would have further tests done to find answers.

Excellent doctor and staff

It has been over 24 years since Dr. Rapp did Surgery on me , recently I had found out that I had a survivor medical condition that if not treated could put me back in a wheelchair , I knew that it would take another surgery to correct it , and I knew that having it would greatly improve my health and walking , when I had this conversation with Dr. Rapp , and he agreed that it would take another surgery to correct it , we started scheduling the appointment for another surgery...

I felt rushed during my appointment, like the doctor was in a hurry to get through my appointment. All of the reflexes/tests to see where I’m experiencing pain were done very quickly. I also didn’t entirely have an understanding of what the doctor suspects is going on or exactly what he’s looking for on my imaging given the information I provided.
