Dr. Rapley far exceeded my expectations on recovery after surgery, limitations from surgery, and pain involved. My surgery was, after the first 2 weeks, relatively painless. With that blessing, my recovery has been incredible. In the Dr.'s own words, "I did it up right" when I injured myself. I thought my weightlifting days were pretty much over, not so! Now I've got goals again, feel better than ever, and its all because of his skill. Thank you Sir.

Dr. Rapley was great to work with. He listened to all of my concerns and was great with explaining what was going to happen. There were several different methods of fixing my shoulder and he fully explained each option and the risks and benefits involved with the procedures.

Doctor Rapley and his staff are the Best. Doctor Rapley has always been conceded about what's the best for me .He takes the time to make sure that I understand what he was going to do in my surgeries and what's going to happen after them. Will recommend him to anyone that needs an orthopedic surgeon.

Dr Rapley did my shoulder surgery and I couldn't have asked for a better Dr. Dr Rapley Truely cares about his patients and was such a joy to be around. He has very good bed side manners. I highly recommend him! We really need more Drs like him! Best Dr I have EVER had. Thank you Dr. Rapley for making a difference.
