“I have had two appointments with Dr. Ripp and a third appt is set for a procedure for my lower back, which I have had troubles with for several years - because I failed to keep my lower back muscles strong to keep my core in good condition. The procedure is designed to keep my lower back from getting achy, getting tired, and becoming painful. Those three symptoms of poor core area muscles will disappear to allow me to exercise my back and my entire body often and routinely. Two appointments were plenty to easily realize that Dr. Ripp and his entire staff are all caring people who take pride in knowing that people who seek pain management from that Gorman Medical Office get excellent analysis and understanding how each person can be helped to win their battle against achy, tired, painful and debilitating weak muscles and other weakened areas and issues which that office can propose to solve. Colorado Springs is blessed to have that staff here to help offer and help pain management issues get resolved.”
“Nicole is very knowledgeable about the weight loss plan as well as the questions I had regarding the plan I am on. Also, the staff is great! 5 stars overall!”
