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.

I suffer from mild Tomophobia,which is a fear of Dr tests and the results..Dr Lippe was kind, mild mannered and listened to everything I said.. I am so very happy to have found him..

Best GI Around!
I visited Dr. Lippe after seeing other doctors who just couldn’t figure out what was wrong with me. After our visit I dealt like he had a good plan and it really calmed me down. Now that I’ve been seeing him, I’m doing so much better! I recommend him to everyone I know!

We are in the height of the pandemic and the dr comes out with no mask. It was my first visit and he had no staff so i witnessed Him coming out and calling in patients 1 by 1 with no mask on and 1 point had a pen in his mouth. Needless to say i left Without seeing him which is unfortunate. He could be an amazing doctor however his lack off sense in these times says it all.

Dr Scott Lippe – Jan 04, 2022

I searched hoping to find a Gastro appointment within a 5-mile radius, but nothing! So I widened the search and found this incredibly highly rated Dr. Lippe, 4.8 /5 with rave reviews; and he was available immediately, the same day or a week later. I opted for a week later and this is what happened: Dr. Lippe's office just called at 12:30 pm to cancel a 2 pm appointment -- as they could not see me today: Ok, happens! Then explained they could not see any of my information other than the appointment date and my name: odd Then I asked the lovely person on the phone if she needed my Insurance info and she said: no, we will do that when you come: not ok! She then informed me I could rebook for next week and that the Doctor would rather be paid cash or the office would charge a 3% credit card fee: Way too odd.

The doctor is amazing! He is very knowledgable and probably one of the best gastroenterologists I have ever interacted with, he truly cares! The PROBLEM is the office clerk Bernice who has a very poor rude attitude and is in the wrong business. She is not a people person and acts as if she can careless or not be bothered. Every time I have gone to see this doctor, she never has a smile on her face and is by far welcoming. Bad experience each time with her tone, attitude, and lack of interest in her job.

Dr Lippe saved my life. This man was the FOURTH GI I saw and the only one who listened to me! He treats his patients like humans, very hands on and honestly I felt like it’s my own dad looking out for me with every visit or email. Thank god for doctors like him.

Dr. Lippe is the most efficient, precise, loving, supportive, and knowledgeable doctor. I always felt safe, and secure being under his care. He is like a father to me, and during my most critical times of need and flairup, Dr. Lipee was always there providing me the uptmost care. I will always recommend Dr. Lippe to any of my loved ones that need GI medical assistance. Becoming a physician myself, I aspire to have the kindness, directness, and knowledge and demeanor as Dr. Lippe.

The finest doctor I have ever met. After an absolute nightmare with other gastroenterologists, I wasn’t expecting much. Dr Lippe LISTENED and immediately started medications that helped. After tests were run and results obtained, he has worked very closely with my surgeon. He is kind, compassionate, personable and funny. He is truly an expert in his field. Scheduling appointments on line is simple and convenient. He communicates very well and really cares about his patients. Very highly recommended.

The staff was professional and kind. Waiting time was short compared to other doctor offices I have been to. The doctor came out himself to get me which I found nice,comforting and different. Right away he was very kind and friendly. He did not disregard my results or make me feel bad how other doctors have and took immediate knowledgeable charge of my situation. Definitely would recommend to others. I now have a new GI that I plan on keeping. Very good intelligent doctor with true compassion.

Dr. Lippe cares for his patients like no other. He takes the time to listen to me and then makes sure I understand everything, even if he needs to repeat multiple times. He has excellent bedside manner, and it feels like he treats me and not just my medical issues. He is the BEST!!!

This doctor has been a true Godsend for me. I have had so many issues with my health this year and because of him, I have always felt more comfortable and at ease because he has been there for me. I'm probably his most annoying patient and he still answers every single question I have anytime of the day. I'm grateful I've found a doctor that truly loves helping people. I highly recommend Dr. Lippe. Dena Scott
