I highly recommend Dr. Rapp. He is extremely professional, caring, and attentive during every visit. He takes the time to thoroughly explain diagnoses, treatment options, and next steps in a way that is clear and easy to understand. I never feel rushed, and he always listens carefully to my concerns and answers all of my questions with patience and compassion. Dr. Rapp truly prioritizes his patients' well-being and makes you feel comfortable and confident in your care. I am very grateful to have him as my physician and would confidently recommend him to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and compassionate doctor.

Every visit I have had to Dr. Rapp's office has been excellent plus. Dr. Rapp and every member of his staff give service that is second to none.

Dr Rapp is a wonderful surgeon with great bedside manner. He truly cares about his patients well being , before and after surgery. He has a great team of nurses and staff that are both professional and knowledgeable. I'm so thankful that he performed my extremely difficult surgery. I had given up all hope of getting well until I had my first visit. If you , a friend or family member are considering surgery, please give Dr Rapp a visit before making your final decision.

I received excellent care!
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 9/2/2025
I forgot to ask Dr. Rapp to show me the pictures of the esophagram. He said he didn't have access to it in the exam, but would be able to address it in his office and we could do it following visit. But I forgot to remind him. I really would have wanted to see that as my husband was with me and could've taken part in that.
