Matthew A. Kippe's Online Review Report Card

I found Dr Kippe to be very rude, rushed and full of himself!

Excellent and knowledgeable doctor. He really cares and wants to help you. He ordered alot of exrays then explained my problem upon exam. Gave me several options and was very clear in my diagnosis. I would highly recommend this doctor!!!!!

I've been a patient of Dr. Kippe's for several years. He has helped me tremendously with Rotator Cuff surgery and most recently a visit having to do with severe back pain below the shoulder. He is very smart and understanding of your pain. I would highly recommend this amazing doctor.

Went to him first time, for my first exam I wasn’t feeling it with this doctor. I’m not saying he’s not a great doctor he is all business & bedside manners was ok. First time there he thought I may have a frozen shoulder which I knew I didn’t because I had full range of motion with some discomfort and pain. I was sent to get an MRI and sure enough I did not have a frozen shoulder. I had 2 tears in my rotator cuff and a bone spur. The doctor told me to try Cortizone shot which I had told him before I had tried Cortizone shots and they didn’t work for me but I did it anyway and sure enough it did not work what a surprise. The second visit, he saw my MRI said I had 1 partial tear and the report showed I had 2 tears in the rotator cuff and had a bone spur. I went to see another doctor & I’m scheduled for surgery with someone else. I’m sorry but I would not recommend this doctor. My recommendation is shop around and get a 2nd and even 3rd and 4th opinion.

Have a worker’s compensation injury that’s a nightmare to deal with but dr.kippe and his office are understanding and more than capable to handle the insurance company. All my dealings with the dr have been great, pre and post of surgery great now moving along to PT and I’m thankful this location is located in Dartmouth. JM

I would not recommend Dr Kippe to anyone. He was rude dismissive and diagnosed my injury as a strain. Two other Doctors felt it was a tear. MRI results after seeing another dr confirmed a tear and other underlying issues. He gave me a 1minute exam and suggested I go to therapy for 4-6 weeks and reevaluate after that. Two years ago same thing with my other shoulder where I told him he was wrong and sought another opinion which confirmed a tear. He took that personally going into my wreck today visit with him. If it wasn’t urgent I would have walked out of the office after seeing him walk in with a negative and non-comforting demeanor . Can’t give less than a star.

He was rude, arrogant and very dismissive of what I had to say or ask. I unfortunately had a visit with him two years ago that I did not remember until I saw him walk into my exam room today and we had a disagreement on whether I needed an mri or not. Today, I feel his arrogant, pompous and rude attitude towards me was a result of that visit. Today’s exam from Dr Kippe was maybe a minute (What he actually did) I explained to him the pain was from my shoulder to my finger tips..everywhere..after his exam he felt I had a strained shoulder..4-6 weeks of therapy...(yesterday same office different doctor did a 10-15 minute exam. Diagnosis ...torn bicep tendon possible rotator cuff tear and other strain...he put me on prednisone and gave me pain medicine and said I would need an mri but he could not schedule it. (??I plan on doing my best to make sure it is at least known to as many people as possible what I feel about Dr Kippe. I cannot give less than a star so he gets a gold star from me

Dr. Mathew Kippe is excellent in his area of practice, and goes above and beyond for his patients. His knowledge and personality make you feel at ease. He is wonderful, and his expertise in his field are superb. I am so happy I chose Dr. Kippe.
