I have never forgotten Dr. Lipton's kindness paired with the fact that he is flat out an amazing Dr. Chris' pinkie finger was mangled in a paper shredder, it looked as though he would loose a good portion. It was a holiday weekend and it was difficult to find a doctor. Luckily we found Dr. Lipton and I am convinced he saved Chris' finger. This was about 10 years ago and I still think about this dedicated Dr. who came in over a holiday. I saved his card and wondered if he was still practicing and wanted to thank him again. He went above and beyond. Doctor's like Dr. Lipton are few and far between.

Although he is a surgeon, he chose to treat an injury in a nonsurgical fashion with excellent results. I appreciate the savings of money, time and suffering related to his choice. His office staff, manner, and professionalism are appreciated.

From the initial meeting where I was asked "Why are you here?" by Dr. Lipton, to the latest when he ignored my statement of being in physical pain, this has been one of the worst experiences of my life. I do not recommend seeing this man as his manners are atrocious and he treats you like a piece of dog excrement he accidentally stepped on. He would come into the appointment late, take a look at me for maybe five minutes and then leave with barely a word said about anything.

I've known Dr. Lipton for several years. We met when I severed 6 tendons and 2 major motor nerves in my right wrist when my hand went thru a 5 x 7 pane glass living room window. He performed my surgery, and when I was ready, I went through all the therapy to be able to use my hand. He was and has always been very knowledgeable and professional. I have found him to be very nice, soft spoken, and always very courteous.

My experience was awful with this Doctor-he made my problem much worse then when cornered about what he was going to do to fix it he had a fit. Very unprofessional and rude. DONT LET HIM WORK ON YOU IF HE MAKES YOU UNCOMFORTABLE AT CONSULTATION - FIND SOMEONE ELSE!!! I wish I would have and maybe I wouldnt be looking at loss of my hand and obvious disfigurment because of him.
