Testimonials from patients of Dr. Ripley
Although I consider myself a healthy person, I have some nuisance problems that can at times be very frustrating. Dr. Ripley and his staff have always responded to my medical needs as well as my emotional needs. They understand the times when "no cure or no diagnosis" add a drop in my otherwise positive outlook. Dr. Ripley never hesitates to send me to a specialist is the problem… See more
I started seeing Dr Ripley when I moved down to Beaufort. I have a chronic blood disease and had transferred to a hematologist in the area that was not really keeping up with my health. By the time I got to Dr Ripley I was frustrated and scared and sure that I would end up in the hospital. Dr Ripley was so nice during the initial interview and had good recommendations for me for referrals. My… See more
My husband had a medical problem that necessitated his being in a major hospital 90 miles from where we live. I brought enough meds to last me a week, since he was told he'd be in hospital for about three days. Unfortunately, the time extended and I ran low on one of my critical meds. I texted Dr Ripley (on a SATURDAY) and asked if he could send a prescription to a drugstore near the… See more
I would like to recognize 2 of Dr. Daniel C.Ripley's employees - Meredith Trader who is Dr. Ripley's receptionist and office manager and Tracy Ketola who is his nurse. Both of these ladies are extremely professional and very helpful in resolving any questions or problems that I may have. I'm a retired Marine Colonel and I have encountered numerous receptionist's and nurse… See more
I am a patient of Dr Daniel Ripley in Beaufort SC. Not only is he a very caring & smart doctor; his staff is some of the most caring I have ever met. Having serious medical issues, I have met many, many doctors from Duke Hospital to the Mayo Clinic & Dr Ripley & his staff rank among the best! His nurse, Tracy Ketola, always calls a few days after my visit just to check on me &… See more

I am retired and travel a lot. Dr. Ripley is always available to me by phone, text, or email. This is very comforting to me. Dr, Ripley encourages me to exercise. One of my exercise classes was recently featured on the cover of a local magazine. Its not only a physical workout, but a mental one as well. It works your body and your brain. Its a vibrant and energetic form of dance. It works… See more
In my lifetime I have never a better patient/doctor relationship. Dr. Ripley and his staff really care about their patients and always make me comfortable. I love getting appointments quickly if I need them.
Dan Ripley is everything a family doctor should be. Kind, friendly, knowledgeable, available and eager to help. I remember the seminar when Dr Dan initially joined MDVIP - he was defining his business model and said he wanted to be a part of our family. And that's happened. We get appointments the same day or next day if desired and we feel comfortable contacting him even for minor… See more
Dan Ripley is a people oriented doctor. He knows us and is able to tailor his treatment and care not just to our medical needs but also to our personal and life style desires. As a family doctor you couldn't ask for more.
