David Rippe, M.D., is a physical medicine and rehabilitation physician who specializes in electrodiagnostic medicine, conducting muscle and nerve testing to diagnose a range of painful conditions. He serves patients in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area. Solving the diagnostic puzzle is one thing Dr. Rippe particularly enjoys about his work. “Every patient who sees me has been referred by another doctor because there are still questions about their symptoms, whether they are having numbness, tinging, weakness, fatigue, or something else. The information I can provide through diagnostic testing enables them to identify the precise problem and take that information back to their doctor so they can get better.”

The care provider did a good job discussing my issues with carpal tunnel. He told what I need to do to get fixed up. I pretty much understand the procedure now for surgery.

I was scared the test would be painful. The care provider was very patient, explained everything in detail, and did a great job calming my fears. Thanks for putting up with me! I was scared for nothing. The procedure was not that bad.
