Dr. Ripperger and his office staff are great. Dr. Ripperger is understanding and knowledgeable. Easy to schedule and reschedule appointment times. The office staff is very personable and easy to deal with. I have had over 20 appointments and have never had an unpleasant experience.

Dr. Ripperger is the best psychiatrist in Norman. The only Dr. previously that cared as much as Dr. Ripperger does I have seen is the retired Dr. Hoke. If you have severe mental problem Dr. Ripperger will not over medicate you and will work with you to find the minimal amount of medication needed to get get your life back in order and STAY in order.

Dr. Joseph Ripperger really helped me, I was seeing a female psychiatrist in town and she did not give me the time or help that I needed. Dr. Ripperger is defintely worth the wait! I would suggest him to any of my friends and family.
