Dr. David Carl Collipp, MD

Never looked at my records or touched my affected areas. Basically talked about himself.

The staff is never available to get assistance. The operator is clueless.

I'm thankful to have been referred to Dr. Collipp. He was kind, knowledgeable, listened thoroughly and attentively and gave me plenty of time to explain my symptoms. He developed a treatment plan for me, and I have confidence in him.

On most of these evaluation websites, negative reviews are the in the majority; most people aren’t motivated nearly as much to express opinions about positive experiences as they are to express the negative. I have nothing but praises for my experiences with Dr. Collipp and his staff. 1999 – I had been experiencing pain at the base of my neck on and off for about 20 years. When it got to the point where it was unbearable, my chiropractor referred me to Dr. Collipp. When I came into his office, his calm re-assuring manner set me at ease immediately. He really listened to me and was very thorough with his diagnostics. He recommended that Dr. Summers perform a course of 3 spinal injections over the span of several weeks along with physical therapy. That was 19 years ago and my neck has not bothered me since. 2007 – I was assembling a loft bed for my daughter when I suddenly experienced severe pain in my lower back. I made an appointment with Dr. Collipp and he was able to see… me right away. He was as pleasant and re-assuring as I had remembered. Through tears, I described the excruciating pain I was experiencing; he spent a long time with me, listened attentively and checked muscle strength, pain levels, and thoroughly researched the cause of my pain. He recommended that Dr. Summers perform a course of 3 spinal injections along with physical therapy; we only completed 2 of the 3, due to a miscommunication on my part as to the level of my pain following the 2nd injection. I was out of work for 2 months. Although I am still experiencing some back pain (I’m 60 years old and 40 lbs. overweight), but it is 80% better than it had been. 2011 – I went to an orthopedic specialist after bracing a fall with my arm causing what appeared to be a rotator cuff issue – physical therapy was prescribed and the pain was reduced to a tolerable level. 2013 – I returned to get a recommendation for more physical therapy (still having some back issues). He was just as nice, professional and thorough as he had always been. 2018 – I have once again returned to Dr. Collipp for the possible rotator cuff injury from 2011 for which I had seen the orthopedic specialist back in 2011. He and his staff were just as nice as ever. He listened intently while diagnosing my situation. He is recommending physical therapy with the possibility of injections in the future if the PT doesn’t do the trick. I have every confidence that my shoulder will be healed or at least improve immensely if I follow his recommendations.

Quack!

This guy is a quack. He's an absolute joke. My wife has 2 bulging discs, with one, possibly, being herniated. This diagnosis comes from a spine Dr. at the same place as Collipp. He talked to her like she was a little child. He ignored the problem, and never acknowledgedid it. He wanted to talk about stenosis. He kept talking about football players. He won't acknowledge what the real problem is, he won't prescribe any medication that will help. No steroids, absolutely pitiful muscle relaxers or pain meds. He said she was just stiff. What a moron! He must be an ex addict, or something. This guy has no knowledge of the field that he'should in. It is shameful. Stay away from this fraud, at all costs. He will mess you up, worse.

I was hurt in a accident at work and was referred to Dr. Collipp. I told him my symptoms and the pain I was in. Being a good patient I did everything he asked. Numerous tests, chiropractor, physical therapy. None of which worked. I also was given a array of medications that did not work. He then contradicted the other Dr's I had seen and wrote in his final report there was nothing wrong with me. I'm writing this review as I'm sitting in the waiting room of another doctor who if at least listens to me will be better than Dr. Collipp. This time though I will have to use my own insurance because workers comp denied me because of his false report I ended up seeing a year later. Save yourself some time and don't use Dr. Collipp. He's not only a bad doctor but also rude and incompetent.

I don't feel that I benefited from his diagnosis or medical treatment and the symptoms I have had have not improved AT ALL. I feel he did not listen to me voice my symptoms. He treated as textbook but not as person. This was the second time I have seen him in 4 years and I will not go back to him even if it is changing to another practice.

I went to Dr. Collipp only not to get better but I have gotten worse and have found myself paying hundreds of dollars to Dr. Collipps' office for test, procedures and other things that my insurance ruled "MEDICALLY UNNECESSARY" in other words they claim they did test and procedures they really probably didn't do and now I am having to pay them hundres of dollars that I don't have and I am not WELL only getting worse because he didn't treat me at all! I wish I would have now he was this bad before I wasted my time and money. I am thinking about filing charges against them for the charges that I am having to pay. He is truly not a good doctor, that's my opinion and I am sticking to it.

A few years ago my daughter was in car accident with hertz Penske they sent her to see David Collipp for a independent evaluation and he didn't do much other than give her a hard time she is a nurse and ten times smarter than he will ever be this was in 2008 she has had back problems then and now is having to see a new back doctor because of his stupidness and he should have looked at her ex-rays mris I wouldn't send my dog to see him and isn't it funny now seven years later pers is wanting to send me to the same doctor for my knee its not going to happen like I said I wouldn't send my dog to him so called doctor my foot.
