Dr Ipple saw my husband April 19,2017 and he was supposed to be seen for several reasons, one was severe pain due to a chronic illness (my husband almost died 10 months ago). The dr refused to address the pain issue which my husband knew he was on a time limit and the pain medication (not even a strong one) would run out and he'd have nothing & when my husband got upset at the thought of the pain returning the dr walked out. What happened to that oath? Unbelievable! AMA will be hear from me too.

This is what the automated draft review had to say. Don't believe a word of it :-) If you do, robots will presently tell you what to do, and you'll be permanently hooked up to a cyberspace monitor. Ha!

They made sure every single question I had was answered, and are always available if I think of any more questions I want answered. Their staff is the most friendly, welcoming staff I've ever dealt with. They are so warm and professional, and make the whole experience that much better. I was so impressed with the progress I was able to make after visiting them. All my questions were answered, and I feel a lot more confident and hopeful about the future. The office was very easy to locate. I didn't have any trouble finding it at all. They answered my questions and spent a lot of time with me. I didn't feel like they were trying to rush my appointment at all.

Almost every ailment I ever had was treated with a "hot water soak" in the tub. I had severe swelling for years in my mouth and sinuses and Dr Ipple said to wrap my neck with hot towels. I did so for two years with worsening conditions. I finally discovered I had a mold allergy from a European Doctor which had set up a severe infection in my head which would have been fatal had it not been found when it was. The hot wraps were making the condition worse and was literally killing me.

Dr. Ipple was my physician for some time prior to this and trusted him and his staff. However, I would never send my friends or family there because I discovered that the staff listens in on personal conversations through their intercom system while you are in their examination rooms. My wife and I realized this when the Doctor would mention things he could have only heard us saying. We began checking the doors to be sure no one was outside them listening in, but still he knew. We realized they listen in on the intercom system present in each room. Dr. Ipple also apparently tried to ruin my marriage by making a false claim I made a pass at one of his nurses in one of their "bugged" rooms. In fact I only complemented her on a new hairstyle she wore. Sorry, I'm just from the old days when men complemented people before busy-bodies with sick minds made everything dirty. The good Dr. had no qualms about firing off a letter to my wife about the "incident" and the matter became fodder for a threatening piece in his periodical mailer, all for "your hair looks nice". The Dr.'s attempt at ruining my marriage failed as I had complemented the staff before when my wife was present and she knew I was just being nice. I guess the one time I was by myself made me a target for the Doctor and his filthy minded staff.

The Dr. is not popular with the local hospital and send his patients out of their way to Muncie which has a less friendly and professional system than Henry County. If you take a chance on the Dr., be sure you are never alone in a room and if you don't get professional service and a primitive therapy like "wrap it with something warm" seek a different Dr. ASAP. My condition grew excessively worse seeing Ipple for two years and it was critical by the time the cause was determined. I had other conditions and all treatment suggestions were the same; wrap it. The office "wrapped" their hands around my $90 check for each wasted visit.

Good Health!
