I cannot recommend this practice and provider more. Dr. Kipa-Joseph always takes time to make sure I understand what happened and what we are going to do moving forward. She is always answering questions in a way I understand. If I am confused about something she finds a different way to tell me. Her staff is always kind and quick and it is always a great experience.

Dr. Kipa-Joseph's calm and easy-going demeanor helped to make a stressful and anxiety-filled event into something more manageable to deal with. She took the time to explain what is to be expected from check-in to after surgery recovery. I will continue to go to her again.

This was my first appointment with Dr. Kipa-Joseph. We have messaged regarding a follow-up concern I have on my biopsy report that has yet to be resolved. The response I have so far acknowledges that the report sounds contradictory but the results are negative.

Dr Kipa probably safes my life. I have ignored by other doctors for 30 years, and finally Dr Kipa's team cared enough to find what's wrong, and discovered serious issues in late stage and provide treatment method immediately. I appreciate her and her team with my life.
