It scares me that this business is still in operation- they have pharmacy techs mixing chemo with no pharmacist on staff. Therefore the meds are mixed, never checked for accuracy etc, and then directly infused into sick patients. I know first hand as I used to work there and never had our meds checked before they were infused. Typically a pharmacist would check the dilution process, look at the syringe to be sure the proper dose was drawn up, etc but this company had no double check system at all which is extremely dangerous.

Dr. Knipe treated me for several months. During my treatment, I shared personal confidential information. He later used that information to defraud our family in a rather large real estate transaction using a dummy corporation to shield his identity.Stay away from this man. I've reported his crimes to the FBI and Office of the Inspector General HIPAA task force. He is not to be trusted.

Dr. Knipe is a knowledgeable, competent doctor. He had to give me a really bad diagnosis but was willing to try all alternatives to beat the odds. He has spent a lot of time with me. The entire staff at this practice is kind and helpful.
