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. Rappard is the best doctor
Hello everyone, I wanted to share my story. I was in a terrible ceiling collapse accident in my apartment that left me disabled. I suffered terrible neck and back pain. I was bound to a couch and unable to care for myself or children properly because I was in so much pain. I wasn’t sure what to do until I was referred to the best doctor I’ve ever met. His name is Dr. Rappard. He is such a good doctor and cares for his clients health and well being. After undergoing my procedures with Dr. Rappard. I am happy to say that I am no longer bound to a couch. Yet, I am able to exercise, study and enjoy everyday living. I no longer have back pain. Dr. Rappard gave me my life back and I will always appreciate him for that. Dr. Rappard is the best doctor to go to. He is a honest and knowledgeable doctor as well. He knows his stuff, and won’t steer you wrong. I am so thankful to have been referred to such a doctor that really understands his clients and helps them to recover successfully.

Very Thorough & Responsive
Dr. Rappard was very thorough and responsive in the care he provided. Once best course of care was determined and implemented he followed up with me on a regular basis to ensure I was feeling better. I would highly recommend Dr. Rappard.

Finally my back pain is gone!
I have had unexplained back pain for years and had little to no help from previous doctor visits, that is until I saw Dr. Rappard. The entire staff was thorough, welcoming, and comforting. Dr. Rappard explained my options and we worked together to get my back pain managed and after a few months I have little to no back problems. Super thankful for Dr. Rappard and his entire staff.

The Best
Without going to Dr. Rappard, I would likely have had problems later on, that would've been irreparable. The staff is AMAZING. I can't say how many times I doubted having surgery. Dr. Rappard patiently explained everything to my wife and myself, which changed my mind. Everyone in the office is sooo nice and helpful. Plenty of times Evelyn had to help me fill out paperwork. She NEVER ONCE complained. See if you get that at the post office, or the DMV??? Go see them, if you want to get better.

The guy really knows his stuff - after reviewing my imaging, we discussed possible procedures. I have done a lot of research online, and had a lot of questions. Dr. Rappard explained the different options, reviewed the pros and cons and offered me a really competitive price. Much better than flying to Arizona for some laser procedure!!

Torrance, CA – Jun 17, 2017

I am 6 months removed from a couple of branch blocks and then 2 follow up neck procedures. I feel fine, everything is working perfectly. I was willing to accept that Dr. Rappard was a credible, and honest person from meeting with him, and thankfully I can confirm that he is a great doctor, that I recommend to anyone. To be honest, I thought the operating experience was surreal, and I was comfortable. There was a great team, that do their jobs very well, from the anesthesiologist, to the nurse.

You saved me from a life of opiates and/or pain so strong that I couldn't perform adequately in my daily activities. After this Rhizotomy procedure, I walked off the table, and except for not drinking the chardonnay, ate dinner with my family. The anesthesiologist, Dr. Paul Rodrick was excellent as well.

Dr. Rappard was honest, detailed, thorough, and patient. His goal was always my well-being and he answered all my questions. He focused on being as less invasive as possible and stressed not over operating just to say he was doing something. All procedures were explained to me in laymen terms and they were carried out just as he said they would. With all the procedures I was home the same day and mobile thereafter. No long periods of immobility. Most of all he listened to me and responded.

Dr. Rappard is an excellent physician and surgeon. He brought my grandmother back from near death, after she had a ruptured aneurysm. There is no one else in Los Angeles able to perform like him. I would trust him with my life.
