Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Sad
My hernia repair surgery only repaired some of my hernia and appointment after ignored the bulges and my worries about them then making discouraging comments about my mobility device I need to get around. Won't be returning here for anything.

Terrible
My mom is still fighting for her life from a umbilical hernia surgery done by dr Lippie on Jan 20th. He knicked her bowel without knowing and sent her home. She had to have a emergency surgery but not until 2 to 3 days later to look for the problem. She has a long incision on her belly where he went in looking for the problem. I would not recommend this dr. She has had nothing but complications after complications after all of this. Find yourself a great dr to do your surgery.

Rude doctor
When my daughter went to see him today, he spent maybe a total of 10 minutes with her and said that she needs to loose weight before a hernia surgery. Never did any scans or anything. My daughter and I are very upset the way the doctor handled the situation . Poor manners.

complete confidence
I have seen Dr. Lippie for 2 surgeries: gallbladder and a re-sectioning of the small intestine. He knows what he is doing. I would request him if I ever have to go for surgery again at Lutheran. He came highly recommended to me from a friend who also is an MD, and I would recommend him to anyone facing abdominal surgery.

He removed a large enflamed cyst from my neck in his office. Spent less than 5 min with me in the ofc prior to the surgery. I screamed for an hour while he did the surgery in the office. Sent home with no pain meds. Next day left several msgs w/ ofc for some pain meds. Only called back after my fam dr contacted them. He told my husband & I it should have been inpatient w/ anesthesia. Post op appt he was apathetic & rushed; never even sat down until I described symptoms of ptsd from it.

Dr. Lippe saved my life when I had a perforated colon with severe peritonitis. 3 years later, he saved my daughter's life when her gallbladder failed. She was sent home from a hospital emergency room, still in severe pain. We immediately called Dr. Lippe, who saw her immediately, and operated an hour later. Her gallbladder was decaying in her body.
