Saw Dr. Kipnis a few months ago. I had excruciating pain in my hip from a laberal tear and osteoarthritis. His only recommendation was excersise at home, that was it and he said I would need a hip replacement in the future. I was so upset. Since then I went to another orthopedic who said I also had the option of a cortisone injection. I just had it done a week ago and I got my life back. The pain is gone and I can walk. Why he didn't recommend this is baffling and upsetting. He basically did not treat me.

His skill and expertise as a surgeon is highly rated and deservedly so. I placed in his hands and was relieved by his work on my total hip replacement. I would highly recommend him to anyone. If he is your surgeon you are in great hands.

So sick of Doctors overbooking appointments. I asked the receptionist how long if an estimated wait and she stated 15-20 minutes. I waiting almost 1.5 hours!

He will always be honest about what he believes is the best treatment plan for his patients. I have recommended him many times to people and everyone has been completely satisfied with Dr.,Kipnis . Lets just say he has solved all of my orthopedic problems! He is an asset to the field of Orthopedics, He doesn't run for the scalpel on your first visit, all treatment options are discussed. In all 15 years that I have been his patient,I can say he is the best diagnostician you will ever find! When you ask your regular dr for a referral you say who would you send your mother to? I bet he would say Dr.James Michael Kipnis hopefully If He knows him !!
