I have had a laminectomy, a back Fusions and a neck over the las 30 years and never had a repeat issue with very little down time. He is great, office staff is a bit mean but who cares when it comes to having a competent surgeon.

Don’t go here the doctors front staff is awful and rude. The doctor will make you come in early but then wait for hours before you will be seen and then he won’t even spend more than 10 minutes time with you to explain anything. Dr. Rapp puts his patients down and does not respect people.

Dr. Rapp performed surgery and fused C4-7 - when I woke up from surgery I had problems with my right arm - I could not use it. Dr. Rapp assured me I was fine. I finally got a second opinion by another doctor and went in for immediate surgery to fuse C3. Please at least get a second opinion before using him - he was not a kind or personable person to me and did not take me seriously.

This man ruined my life, he gave me horrible non treatable disorders from trying to hurry my spine surgery. He should Never have a scalpel in his hand. Save yourself a lot of pain and anguish, seek other medical care.

Dr. Rapp is exceptional. I was in so much pain and he ordered MRI's and could see exactly what was wrong; sceduled surgery and fixed it; it was that simple. He is down to earth, has a great sense of humor and bedside manner. I can walk without nerve pain thanks to him. My life is so much better because of him.

Dr. Rapp is a first rate Dr. Very easy to talk to and understand. Had cervical spine surgery with excellent results. Took nearly 2 years to get back to normal, but I am very grateful to this excellent surgeon. He also happens to have a great sense of humor! Would HIGHLY recommend him!
