My preteen daughter was on the verge of a nervous breakdown suffering from severe anxiety and OCD. Dr. Tipton prescribed her a medication that I will call her "Miracle Pill". She is so much better and is living a normal teenager's life. Her OCD is almost non existent and her anxiety has decreased dramatically. Dr. Tipton was a very pleasant man, listened without judgment and knew what he was talking about. I am thankful to have met him and for his help. I was sorry to hear he was leaving his practice.

When I lost my child I didn't think I could go on. Dr. Tipton has helped me more than any other doctor has been able to. He is very understanding, accurate and professional. I would recommend him to my friends & family if they ever needed to speak to a psychiatrist.

Dr. Tipton took my case after several miss diagnoses by one of his co-workers. I explained to Dr. Tipton all of my issues. He sat there very professional,as I ran my mouth. After hearing me out, Dr. Tipton gave me the right diagnoses. I was Prescribed the right meds. and from there on out, I'm a whole different person. For the better that is:) I would recommend to those that don't know him, and need for just that one person that will listen, to atleast give him a chance! He worked magic for me that other Dr.s couldn't do!
