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.

A doctor who doesn't validate his patients
i had a horrible experience with Mitchell Lipton. He's a doctor that doesn't listen, doesn't inform you about your condition, leaves you abandon and doesn't provide standard Patient care. In my follow up visit he doesn't validate your pain and your wound. In my last visit in his office for physical therapy he was very rude, injured my wound more and when i let him know that he had harmed me all he said was ' I'm sorry. I have a lot of work.' and after my experience with him, i looked him up for more information about him as a doctor and his 3.5 star review is to much.

Disgusting attitude
I normally don't wright review unless I'm taken away by how amazing or terrible. In this case I will say that Dr. Lipton has got to be the WORST Dr I have every met. Not only is he arrogant and condescending but very rude and full of himself. Glad I only met with him once on person and one with zoom. Do yourself a favor and go to a real Dr who will listen to you and care.

Bad doctor
One of the worst experiences of my life with a doctor. Dr. Mitchel Lipton treated me like just another item on a conveyor belt…The faster he was done with me, the faster he could charge me his outrageous fee. Made no effort to hide his obvious desire to rush the 5-minute appointment and kept talking over me when I attempted to question him about my situation. I had to pry details out of him as he was exiting the exam room, as to what I needed to do with my infected finger, until the following appointment. He is extremely egotistical – didn’t listen and didn’t bother to mention one important detail which would have saved me a 250 mi. round trip for my second appointment. Aside from the two minute medical exchange, he was rude and downright insulting when he told me he was allergic to my cologne; I wasn’t wearing ANY, and I had earlier a shower. When I told him I hadn’t applied anything it said – ‘It must be your aftershave’ in an overbearing tone.

If you wanted get treated poorly then the Father not the son will treat you exactly how he treats his employees "LIKE GARBAGE" the man has no respect for his patients nor his staff. Don't bother getting treated like a patient rather than a person that is beneath him. Dr Lipton is very rude and inconsiderate.
