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.

Excellent experience
Dr Kipnis was great. Everything was explained in detail and all my questions were answered. His entire staff is friendly and professional.As soon as the surgery was done he talked to my wife and put her mind at ease. Can’t thank these people enough.

The best!
Dr Kipnis saved my husband’s life. This is a definite. My husband had necrotizing fasciitis and Dr. kipnis had to perform 3 surgeries in 4 days! He met with me constantly during those 18 days in the hospital and was patient with me through ALL the questions I had while clearly “ driving the bus” through his recovery! I will FOREVER be grateful for his expertise and caring manner! I would HIGHLY recommend him!

Dr. Kipnis is just incredible! I had a double hernia repaired and 2 weeks later I was back to myself 100%. The timeline he gave me of the surgery and recovery was right on target! You can see with the way he relates with his staff that there is an incredible amount of mutual respect between them. I would highly recommend!
