Dr. Joseph M. Ripperger, MD

"Absolutely should never be your choice ever! Im really sorry to their really hard working supporttive staff (they were always very pleasant with me). However unfortunately you would be better off seeing Lucy from that wonderful children's cartoon (therapy5 cents) my treatment specialist alone should earn NO stars period end of subject. As a patient of hers for several years I was commonly over medicated on the newest drug rep sponsored designer drug that resulted in uncontrollable side effects making many of my issues way worse, I was undertreated in other ways, sadly. However, my mental health was never stabilized. I haven't been able to reenter the world and actually function as a productive human being and there was never an accurate diagnosis or ANY attempt by my personal treatment team that took care of my medication and mental health treatment. I don't believe my treatment specialist did her individual part, unfortunately and sadly. She didn't do her part to do her own diagnostic testing (for proper therapeutic purposes) she couldn't come to a educated opinion on my conditions of her own. She enstead choose sadly to duplicate previous opinions on me enstead of doing me proper justice with her "educated opinion". I'm truly sorry I trusted her with my mental health I suffer from mutiple previous diagnosis' and was often chastised for experiencing sever symptoms/episodes that left me unable to communicate clearly or promptly enough to her satisfaction. This place was not exactly a comforting environment to emerge yourself into. Let alone begin to heal. So when I finally have had a clear idea of what my actual diagnosis is (without any input from her my nurse practitioner or any of the appropriate other staff, because Dr. Ripperger unfortunately never chose to take the time in those many years that I paid his hard working support staff, he never meet me himself) So I believe my nurse practitioner decide that because she is so very arrogant and unempathetic that they would not be seeing me again. Even though I've stated to them that I have no psychological care (medication or talk therapy wise) at the moment to replace the care I was receiving through Dr. Ripperger's office. They chose bad excuses over empathy just to back their irresponsible choices. Leaving me to hopefully find the help I need quickly last minute or it seems unfortunately that I'll have to settle for the nearest hospital. Hopefully they'll have better bed side manners for those of us who are suffering from mental heath issues. DO NOT USE HER FOR YOUR HELP, IT WILL BE A CHOICE YOU'LL EVENTUALLY REALIZE WAS A WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY. Find a better solution for your sake and your families, I truly wish I would have, these people have rained down unnecessary hardships on my family this should not stand. No family should ever have to endure these unfortunate events. Edited to add... that I believe that there are many hard working individuals there. They do have some very hard working staff who do care. Thank you to them. Thank you to the supporttive staff they are hard working individuals who do care."
