Rolf Knapp

He is by far not what he claims to be. I live in Huntington Beach and one day I asked knapp if he had a doctor closer to me, just due to the drive and all the traffic. I told him that it had nothing to do with him that I thought he was great! My fiancé Dad had gotten ill and I wanted to be there to be supportive of my fiancé. His Dad ended p passing away before we were scheduled to get married in July. In that time I had called and left several messages explaining the situation to Dr. Knapp and that I hadn’t had a chance to call my new doctor and if he could refill my medication one last time .I even called to make sure he received the messages and was told yes. I called my pharmacy two days later and was told there were denied! I was shocked tried calling left messages to understand what happened and why. Never got a notice a phone call nothing. I couldn’t believe this was the same man I respected and trusted. Long story short I got my medication filled and have a brand new doctor that was floored by what I had to go through. Please be aware this is not okay !

Dr. Knapp has been there for me and my family since I was born. Ever time I’ve needed medical advice he has been there, and I’m very grateful! Even though I don’t have the insurance his office takes, he has referred me to those he thinks are best in my area. If I had it my way I would see him until my last day on earth!

I’m a new patient, so I’m not sure if I am being ignored because I have only been with this doctor since the beginning of 2012. I have been in this office about 3 times and have only met this doctor once. He is never available for appointments when needed; for example, I saw him in May and had blood work ordered but I was told to wait until December to get it done because he didn’t have any appointments sooner than that! I am currently ill and had to go to an urgent care because he had no openings to see me soon. I was asked to leave a message and the nurse (or person answering their phones) told me IF it was urgent, he’d call back. He was also suppose to call and authorize a medication for me in May, it is now September and I went in for a refill and was told the doctor hadn’t yet placed that call! It’s been 4 months! I kind of doubt the pharmacist would lie about it since they’d really like to sell me my medication. Yes he was friendly, but he was also 45 minutes behind for my appointment. Yes, he’s soft spoken, but that isn’t as important as being available to your patients.

I dont know how you could find a better doctor then Dr. Knapp. He is not only a great doctor, but he is just as good a person. I have been seeing him for about 16 years now, and he has cured every ailment I have thrown at him.

I have personally been a patient of Dr. Knapp’s for over 25 years. Everyone in my family sees him, both my parents, my siblings, their children, my children and spouse. I have referred everyone I can to this wonderful man! Let me say upfront that my mother and I both have a chronic illness and we are HIGH MAINTENANCE on a doctors office– I talk to these people no less than once a week.
He listens when you talk, he doesn’t just rush out the door to his next patient, he makes time for you when you need him. His nurse, Robin & Denora (front office) are angels! I have NEVER had a problem getting in to see Dr. Knapp when one of my family is ill (which is often), I have had appt’s as early as 7am and as late as 7:30pm to fit my schedule. His office is fully computerized and any office staff can locate your records immediately if they need to. I have called the office at 9−11pm with an urgent problem and Dr. Knapp himself calls me back to resolve the issue– not just to tell me to go to the ER if I can’t wait for an appt. I could go on and on. my mother went to the office to pick up a prescription from Robin for me one day and they noticed something was a little ‘off’.Denora had her wait to talk to Robin who then got Dr. Knapp– My mom was having a TIA (read: small stroke!) and if they hadn’t seen it she would have gotten back in her car for god knows what to happen. all this and she was just there in passing for 2 minutes!
Sometimes the wait for your appt. is a little longer than anticipated, but that’s because he really takes care of his patients, doesn’t just do the mandatory 5 minutes, check your BP and out the door with an RX.
I have never been turned away for an appt. by his staff. If he’s away (infrequent) then I immediately see Dr. Burris or Dr. Tangreti– I don’t really care for Dr. Burris’ bedside manner, but Tangreti is right up there with Knapp.
You cannot find a better office to care for your family– I guarantee it!

Dr. Knapp is a great guy and a great doctor. I’ve been a patient of his for SUCH a long time; at least 14 years… I just can’t remember. Perhaps I should go see him to prescribe something for my forgetfulness, but I digress…
He takes time with you; really listens to what you’re saying and makes suggestions, etc. He seems very kind.
I don’t have to have doctor visits very often but he makes them pleasant.

I have been a patient of Dr. Knapp for years. I always enjoy his thorough time spent with me and his careful diagnosis. He is not afraid to take care of his patients! I never have a problem getting an appointment and if I have a problem after hours, since his office is entirely computer sufficient, he has no issues to call or fax in a prescription at any hour.
If you want a doctor who will talk to you, will take care of you, that you can trust, this is the doctor for you!
