Don't know how the other negative experience the others wrote about Dr Lipof, but for me she walked into my life when I was in the worst pain I ever had. She stayed late at the hospital to do my surgery. She stayed in the OR until I woke up. She has been the best Dr that I have ever experienced. She was never abrupt, rude or non caring.

If you want to be treated like a child she's the one for you! She deals with colorectal issues every day. I do not. I was berated for not having a colonoscopy. She needs to develop some respect for prospective patients- and no she did not spend an hour with me as noted in my notes from the visit. She was like a psychotic mother from h*ll

Very pleased and happy with her surgical skill and friendly manner. Her associate team was excellent as well. Everyone was upbeat. A good and pleasant experience, despite my being a scary cat!

I had an emergency appendectomy and Dr Lipof was my surgeon. As this was my first surgery ever, I was extremely anxious and in tears. Instead of calming my nerves, she added to them by choosing 10 minutes before surgery to berate me for my weight. She embarrassed me in front of my family member who was with me and the nurses who stood by looking uncomfortable themselves. As a doctor I understand she has a right to make a comment regarding my weight, but the timing was not appropriate.

If you have any of the conditions Dr. Lipof treats, you will be in need of very compassionate care. That is where her star shines most brightly...and I am very thankful to have found her. If you need this type of care, look no further;-)
