Dr. Richard Raybold Whipple, MD

A skilled very professional and caring doctor. Knowledgeable and Thourough the best for any mechanical problem but listen very Carefully and ask the questions he will take the time to answer them. He is a good hearted man.

I saw Dr Whipple for a bump on my finger. He took x-rays at our first appointment, and deemed that surgery was necessary to get the bump removed. He said that his secretary, CiCi, would be in contact with me within the next two weeks to schedule the surgery, but if she didn’t touch base with me that I should contact the office. I waited two-three weeks, never heard from CiCi so I called the office. When I made the appointment, I specifically said I was making it for a surgery. When I showed up for (what I thought was) the surgery appointment, it was clear that no one had looked over my file to realize that Dr Whipple was not doing surgeries that day. I was spoken to very unprofessionally by his secretary, CiCi. I was never apologized to, and I was blamed for THEIR mistake. Also- I had already arranged to take the next 7-10 days off from work as that what was discussed at the first appointment when Dr Whipple indicated I needed surgery. I will not be returning to this office, and I… truly hope they can get their office more organized so other people are not inconvenienced by this.

Saved my right forearm and hand which was amputated by a shotgun blast at pointblank range. Reconstruction time took ten surgeries and healing time...1.5 years. Awesome work and true dedication!

I am greatly impressed with Dr. Whipple. I usually don't deal well when meeting new people, and especially new doctors. Dr. Whipple made me feel at ease, as soon as we started speaking. He is knowledgeable and listens to what I have to say. I trust him to preform surgery on my wrists, which is saying a lot, coming from me.

I had a full elvulsion of my finger and he saw me at very short notice he diagnosed fixed and sent me on my way with not a worry in mind ..everything turned out better than he had said and I couldn't have a higher praise for him!

Dr. Whipple is an amazing doctor and performed orthoscopic carpal tunnel release for me. I had previously had open carpal tunnel release with a different surgeon in another practice - and it was horrible! The difference was amazing. Dr. Whipple told me what to expect and he was right one. I would recommend him to anyone!

Amazing doctor. Did my knee surgery. Now have no problms. I strongly disagree with the Negative Comment. He is not like that.

Dr Whipple came highly recommended to me by my rheumatologist. He did a perfect joint replacement in my thumb. My hand feels brand new!No pain at all! There has to be a lot more to the story of the negative rating. There is not nicer doctor around. Brilliant hand surgeon!

He was awful!!!!! Misdiagnosed me and then on my last visit, he came in the waiting room I was in and said "I cant help you anymore, I dont know whats wrong with you". Then he charged me my co-pay and insurance company for the visit. He has a very unempathethic bedside manner. Beware
