• Dr. Alpaugh, in my opinion, is the best surgeon I've ever had after 75 surgeries. The man is always respectful, caring, always has my back, understands how life is on this side, always listens to me, always makes sure I'm okay. And I love him to death. I would do anything for Dr. Alpaugh. He's gone out of his way in the past two and a half years. I mean, the other day when my leg was leaking, he took me right in to make sure I was okay and checked me out and made sure that I was okay. I didn't get checked out by one of his other people. I get checked out by him. And I appreciate that. He means more to me than he'll ever know.

I am happily returning to have a hip replacement with this provider.

  2026-03-19

• Dr. Alpaugh and every single medical professional with whom I have interacted since my initial consult can be described in three words: 'the gold standard'. Whether it be the receptionists, the PA's, the residents or Alpaugh himself, my experience has been exceptional. Every time. And, this does not even touch on my surgery and the outcome, which has been equally as outstanding. I am deeply appreciative to the whole crew because my quality of life has increased significantly while my pain has correspondingly decreased.

My PT person wrote a summary for the doctor and I don't know if he looked at it. He didn't really address my problem I still don't know what's causing this pain And it's excruciating. That's the main reason I went to see him. He took x-rays of my leg but he never went over anything with me as far as the x-rays he suggested I go to Dr [redacted] for injections, but I wanna know what's causing the pain and what would be the purpose of the injection.
