I am fond of Dr. Lautenslager and appreciate her intelligence and bedside manner.

Going to Ripa Center is a pleasant experience. You are seen on time, the front desk staff are always cheerful and attentive. One of the front desk staff (I wish I remembered her name, she is one of the older ones, with long, curly hair) even offers to make any future appointments I need with a Cooper specialist. Dr. Lautenslager has been my GI for almost 10 years. She has excellent bedside manners, communicates very well and has a calming presence. (This is a compliment coming from a fellow physician.)

I had a very positive experience with Dr. Lothenberg. This was my first time there. So, you know, I kind of answered a lot of fours because I thought if I go back to her, she is very good. But yes, she was positive, informative, very nice to talk to, all of those things. So it was a good experience. Thank you. Bye.
