Dr. Stapp explained everything very well, gave options to how to fix ingrown toenail. Fix was done in a fast, safe procedure.

I would have liked more explanation about how my problem may have started and procedure he decided on. I had to call him back in for a couple more questions I had as this problem was a total shock to me. I felt his attitude was kind of impatient and Inpersonal at times for someone who was seeing him for first time. I felt like I was kind of dismissed at a time when I felt I needed understanding.

I absolutely love Dr. Stapp! He is professional, personably, caring, informed and I have never had a doctor that I don't have one thing bad to say about him or his practice. I have highly recommended him to several people.
