I would highly recommend Dr Lipson. He is an amazing surgeon with equally as wonderful bedside manner. Surgical results were amazing almost immediately! Dr Lipson will spend as much time as necessary to explain your medical diagnosis and we’ll as any pre oppose op information. It was important to me to find an excellent surgeon who did his own surgery and not delegated to residents . His office staff was very attentive! The operative experience was wonderful with excellent results.

Dr. Lipson operated on my back. I walked off the table I have not been in pain once. I have been in pain for 12 years before I had a herniated L4 L5. I recommend him highly

Dr. Lipson is a highly competent, kind, honest, and all around excellent surgeon. He takes the time to explain every thing that he sees on any an all of your films, x-rays, MRI's or whatever other types of tests that a patient has, and tells you exactly what is going on. He is straight forward and makes you feel comfortable with what is going on with you. For me, he took the time to explain what everything was, told me exactly what needed to be done, and if this step didn't work what my next step would be. The day of surgery, he came to talk to me before and explained how long it would take and exactly what he was going to be doing. I would recommend him to anyone who has problems with their backs. Not only did he fix me, he gave me the hope and good feelings that this was going to work long before the surgery started.
