Never expected this from a Medical Professional......., Sep 22, 2011 TOTALLY UNPROFESSIONAL ALL THE WAY AROUND I was recommended by coworkers to go to this Doctor since my previous Doctor retired.Upon walking in to the office all looks professional, but when I met with him everything changed. He had a attitude of a "pompas ass". I explained to him I was looking for a new primary care physician because mine retired.Dr Alonso asked me who my former physican name was and he replied "Script Writer". He also stated that."I better not be DR. shopping in order to get scripts". I explained to him I am a NYC Paramedic with 10years on the job, and never needed a script. He looked at me and laughed.At that point I was insulted and should have walked out but I decided to give him the benefit and let him proceed with the blood work-up. As he was drawing blood I noticed he wasn't wearing gloves which is a big "no no" in the health care field and the topper was he returned the Vacutainer holder along with the tourniquet to the draw for use again on another patient.I questioned him on it because we are taught never to re use any supplies on a patient and I explained it to him He said with a smile"What did you say you do for a living and I stated a Paramedic". His insulting reply was "You guys in NYC may waste money and throw out supplies but not in my office, I discard them when I deem necessary.You are only a Paramedic with a crash course in medicine but I went to medical School and made doctor, Who are you to judge me?Never in my life have I ever been insulted by someone in the Medical field and will never put my foot back in his office. I certainally advise caution in going to this mans practice.

Unprofessional, rude, and obviously has been watching too much House MD..., May 10, 2012 This guy thinks it's okay to treat patients as less than human. There are plenty of other doctors who will tell you what's wrong /and/ be courteous, because, you know, you're a patient not an intern or employee. |

Arrogant, unfriendly, aweful, sarcastic, contantly at least 30 min late..., Apr 4, 2012 sarcastic, unfriendly, 30' late atll 3xs I've seen her, wont prevent flare ups nor does she believe in them, has a "let's wait until it's too late to treat you and you're dieing" attitude. Rolled her eyes when i asked a question I had seen online and sighed as if I was the stupidist patient on the planet. |

Lousy overpriced doctor, horrible location, very unproffessional staff..., Jan 24, 2012 I went for a routine visit, and was reassured by the staff that it would be covered by my insurance...then when I finished I find out its not! The staff clearly didn't know what they were talking about, and just told me that so I could come in and make the appointment. The Doctor just rushed the entire visit and didn't even seem concerned about me. I got a very bad vibe that he didn't really know what he was doing, and most of the time he just had the assistants do all the work. Will never go again. |

Narcissistic doctor won't release patients to see other doctors..., Jan 7, 2012 Reviews of the practice showed that another doctor there had a higher rating, so I wanted to see this other doctor. I was flat out told NO, I am not allowed to see any other doctor at the practice than Karen Bader because that was the first doctor I ever saw in the practice. |

Thank you newLIFE for the care we have received in your Mobile, AL office!..., Dec 2, 2011 Dr. Ripps has been treating my husband and I for almost a year now and we wouldnt dream of seeing anyone else. The staff at newLIFE is so caring and supportive from start to finish. We have found him to be extremely knowledgeable and compassionate. We feel like with the help of Dr. Ripps and his staff we will achieve our dream of having a family. He is board certified and his rates are very fair in comparison to the national average. We could not be happier with the care we have received. If your looking for a great doctor, we recommend him 100%! |
