I trusted Dr. Rappleye. But then we had a disagreement, with his staff. And Dr. Rappleye decided to not to be my doctor anymore. No discussions or nothing. RUDE!!!

He delivered my second baby and was such a great doctor! He was patient and knowledgeable about any of my concerns and I felt very comfortable with him - loved his sense of humor! He is by far my favorite OBGYN and if I have a third child, I will go to him. I recommend him to any of my friends looking for a good OBGYN.

I love Dr. Rappleye, he and his staff are very friendly and knowledgeable, I have always felt comfortable and welcome. He also has a very quirky sense of humor, that I enjoy and this being my first pregnancy I really appreciate that. I would definitely recommend him to others. I would agree that sometimes it takes a while to see him but I take it as a good sign that so many others love him too!

In 2001 I told Dr. Rappleye I wanted my prolapsed uterus pulled up. He recommended a hysterectomy instead. I also had a fibroid tumor in my uterus but later found out it could’ve been removed through laser surgery. After recovering, sex did not feel near as good and still does not. I joined hystersisters.com and talk with women that say this is why they had a supracervical laparoscopic surgery where you get to keep your cervix. Sex without the cervix is not as good. I then ask Dr. Rappleye why my cervix was removed and he said, “Marcia, all doctors in the U.S. remove the cervix with the uterus.” Oh really Doctor!!! I go to the yellow pages for a new doctor and there was a doctor advertising right there in a yellow page ad that he does the supracervical hysterectomy –it said “preserve your cervix.” 3 yrs ago I had to have my bladder put in a sling. This is what you get when trusting your doctor instead of doing your research. Marcia

I used Dr. R for my 1st pregnancy. I saw him twice before my husband and I left the country for the majority of my pregnancy. I might have switched Dr.s had I known how bad he was going to be during the delivery. I think he is a really nice and kind man but as a doctor, he is over scheduled and the day I had my daughter, I was just a number. He poked his head in twice the entire labor and just as I reached dilation of 10 he looked at his watch irritatedly and said, "Ugh, well we can deliver now but I have a surgery scheduled in 20 minutes so lets hurry." He seriously ripped her out so fast, no waiting, no patience. Earlier I had said I was afraid of the episiotomy so he just let me rip and said, "Looks like you had your own episiotomy, huhuh." I had 3rd degree tearing and pain for 8 months because of that. After she was born, I didn't see him at all. VERY unimpressed, especially since I was a new mom.

Dr.Rappleye is a wonderful doctor. One of my derest friend recommended him when my insurance no longer worked for my previous OBGYN, Dr.Katheryn Walker who is also a great doctor. He's very friendly and he recently delivered my baby. He was great at the hospital and I had a great time delivering my baby boy. I do appreciate my frined's referal and I'd strongly recomend him as well. His nurse, Holly is also very thorough and nice.

Doctor Rappleye was VERY helpful... We loved him. The entire experience was really streamlined and facilitated by his knowledge and bedside manner. He delivered my wife, and now has delivered our first child. I intend to go back to him for all of our children if he is still practicing. He is not always punctual, but he has alot of very loyal patients, and come on, its pregnancy... they can deliver anytime, how do you plan a day around that?!

Dr. Rappleye has delivered three of our four sons. He was leaps and bounds better than our first OB and has a very funny (tactful) sense of humor. He just delivered our twins four weeks ago and did a fantastic job in doing so. We were going to switch insurance and he was not going to be in our network and my wife would have none of it even though we don't know if we are going to have any more children. We would recommend him to everyone. My aunt is a charge nurse at the new IMC (labor and delivery) and says that he is really good. He takes the time to explain anything and hasn't been in too much of a hurry for us. We know several other families that used him before we switched and everyone of them had nothing but good to say about him.

I moved on, he was nice but I seemed like a number. He was good at what he did but I like to feel important. The office was helpful and He took time to answer questions but always seemed in a hurry.
