Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. S is very caring, very sympathetic.

Great Doctor
He rebuilt my ankle after tearing 2 ligaments and a tendon. Only been 2 months since surgery and everything is healing as planned. During my post and pre operation appointments he explained everything about the procedure, healing time and PT after surgery. My wife accompanied me to 4 of these appointments and was very impressed with Dr Sipala as was I. I am continuing with my healing process and start PT in a few weeks. If you are looking for an Orthopedic Surgeon that cares about you this is the person you should pick hands down.

Thank you for your review!

Dr. Sipala is extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Answers questions and takes the time to listen. The front office staff, on the other hand, could use some front-facing training. They are absolutely miserable, rude, and make zero effort to help you or answer any questions or concerns. I would recommend Dr. Sipala but can never recommend those miserable front desk girls.

Shocked and amazed
Dr. Sipala is my new favorite doctor!! I’ve had a bunion for 20 years and just had post-op visit 1.5 weeks after surgery.. my foot looks and feels amazing! Truly shocked at how easy this has been. VERY little pain, bruising swelling or scarring. Inconvenience of boot is only negative in all of it. Wish my grandmother had been able to have such an amazing doctor and latest procedures!

Dr.Sipala did my flat foot reconstruction surgery June 1st 2022 I can not be happier with his entire team. I truly can not say enough good things about him always on time very personable extremely knowledgeable etc etc I also have to acknowledge one of his nurses Monquie she has been great!!! Always there to answer all my questions and she is so reassuring everything thing I'm going thru is normal. I never once have felt I'm bothering them every time I call and you just don't get that anymore. They truly are the best!!! I never have written a review on a Doctor but he so deserves it!!!
