I've known Dr Lpipe since 1996, and lately he is losing it. I had to wait for prescription refills for over a week more than once. His conduct is unprofessional by making remarks like 'oh how kinky'. And I can't remember how long along I actually got an examination from him. With him it's hello and goodbye while your insurance company pays him good $$$. I would never go back to him again. Looking for a new orthopedic Dr. Patient Beware. He's in it just for the money. I intend to report him to the MY Medical Board.

Dr. Lippe is a poor excuse for an MD. He walks in and out like he thinks he’s a rock star and let’s his poor PAs handle everything. Thank God for his PA Jen or my mom wouldn’t be walking today. Dr lippe came in the room and basically gave my mom a death sentence telling her he can’t do a thing for her and walked out without even looking at her. PA Jen saw that my mom’s knees were swollen bad and prescribed a anti inflammatory that got my my mom up and walking again NO THANKS TO LIPPE. We love u Jen and if u start your own practice we are in. As far as Lippe goes he’s a joke. That’s the truth

Dr. Lippe treated me when i was a kid and now he is treating my daughter. I brought her in for a fractured wrist. He was gentle and patient and made my daughter feel completely calm before he let her choose her arm cast color and put it on (himself, not his assistant). Our family has been going to Dr. Lippe for 20 years and i find him to be the most caring, honest, and sincere doc.

I went to Dr. Lippe for knee pain. He was very conserviative. He didnt push me into surgery. He was caring and honest, exactly what you would wish for in a medical professional
