David M. Rippe

Overview

David Rippe, M.D., is a physical medicine and rehabilitation physician who specializes in electrodiagnostic medicine, conducting muscle and nerve testing to diagnose a range of painful conditions. He serves patients in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area. Solving the diagnostic puzzle is one thing Dr. Rippe particularly enjoys about his work. “Every patient who sees me has been referred by another doctor because there are still questions about their symptoms, whether they are having numbness, tinging, weakness, fatigue, or something else. The information I can provide through diagnostic testing enables them to identify the precise problem and take that information back to their doctor so they can get better.”.

His top areas of expertise are Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, Brachial Plexopathy, Cervical Myelopathy, and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.

His clinical research consists of co-authoring 4 peer reviewed articles. MediFind looks at clinical research from the past 15 years.
