FemaleAbout Virginia M. Ripley
Growing up, Dr. Virginia Ripley wanted a challenging, dynamic career in which she could interact with people, though she was unsure of what that would be. In her early college years, she decided to get a feel for different jobs by shadowing professionals in various fields. It wasn't until she shadowed a physician at Creighton University Medical Center that everything changed. Any doubt towards her future career instantly disappeared, as immediately fell in love with medicine. She determined that becoming a doctor would be the fulfilling job she desired.
Dr. Ripley went on to attend medical school at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. During her studies, she had to make another difficult decision: deciding which practice to specialize in. Not wanting to limit herself to just one interest, she decided she would specialize in family medicine, as it combined many different areas of health care into one practice. She completed her residency at Lincoln Medical Education Partnership. Today, she treats a broad range of patients as a family medicine doctor at Methodist Physicians Clinic.
One of Dr. Ripley's favorite aspects of family medicine is being able to care for entire families. She enjoys seeing babies, their grandparents and every family member in between. While Dr. Ripley loves simply watching them grow, she also recognizes the benefit of treating so many members. In a multi-generational family, she effectively practices preventive care by pinpointing certain traits or diseases that could potentially be passed down to future generations.
In her free time, Dr. Ripley enjoys spending time with her family. She, her husband and three children love being outside and staying active. Dr. Ripley also loves doing activities that keep her in shape, and occasionally enters fitness events such as triathlons.

In every way, Dr. Ripley is an exceptional physician! She's thorough, compassionate, listens and considers my opinion. For myself, her prompt attention to my symptoms probably saved my life. In my husband's case, who is also a patient, she heard my concerns for him and responded quickly to have his condition assessed. The diagnosis of Frontotemporal Dementia gave us important information. It helped the family understand his changes in order to help... All because she LISTENED and responded appropriately!
