Dr. Lipp is one of the most honest, trustworthy doctors I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. He’s extremely well informed about everything involved in gastroenterology, and VERY thorough in his treatments and suggestions. He has fantastic bedside manner as well! I always look forward to my appointments with him because I leave feeling informed, taken care of, and like I’m in very good hands.

Dr. Lipp is very easy to talk to and answered all of my questions without rushing me. They have finally added WiFi to their basement location where there is no cell service but no one at the front desk was able to provide a login. The waiting room is eerily pin drop quiet - please play some music or get a TV and PLEASE have WiFi for your patients.

My daughter was in distress for 2 days. At 7:30 am, before I went to work, on Fri, Oct 7, 2016, I was able to make an appointment on ZOCDOC for her with Dr Lipp. Her appointment was made for the same day at 11:45 am. The appointment was so easy to make online!! Upon arriving at 300 Old Country Rd Mineola NY suite 31, the office staff were so very nice! They had all my daughters info and she did not have to fill out any additional forms. Dr Lipp was amazing in diagnosing my daughter. His suggestions for her illness were on target. My daughter and I were so relieved after her appointment. Thank you to Dr. Lipp and his staff!

Very personable and knowledgable. He took the time to discuss the procedure and got to know me, that's very rare these days. I would highly recommend Dr. Lipp.
Verified patient
Dr. Lipp was incredibly thorough.He asked myriad questions and took the necessary time to assess the situation.The staff were attentive and very professional as well. Dr.Lipp outlined a course of action.After I left his office,I had a couple of questions.When I called back to get some clarification (my bad for not asking initially) all were answered completely. Great experience.
Verified patient
Dr. Lipp is great. He's personable and explains things very well in order to take some of the confusion out of dealing with and maintaining conditions like Crohn's or colitis. The wait time is a little long, but that's because he asks many questions and takes the time to get to know his patients.
Dr. Lipp I s easy to talk to. I felt very comfortable asking him questions. He was attentive to me and addressed my concerns with compassion and caring. I would recommend him to anyone. My husband is also going to see him soon.
His approach was warm and friendly. Being that i was a new patient, he was very much an interviewer in learning my nature of why i came to the office. After talking with doctor Lipp he understood my Chief Compliant. He took extensive notes and also i provided to him my patient repirts of test i had preformed recently, he was impressed that i had my patient information with me. He politely asked if he can gav cpoies for my chart. I was very pleased to know he is a good listener. Hhe made me feel very comfortable to continue my care under his medical direction. His examination was also impressive to find where the pain was occuring. I believe i can try
We went over many things regarding the testing I had with another Dr. that Dr. Lipp sent me to. Many thing was explained that have to be done Dr. Lipp is very informative and gives his time. I don't feel rushed
My visit was excellent. Dr. Lipp is an amazing doctor. He is compassionate, listens well and treats appropriately. Dr. Lipp is an excellent diagnostician. He was the only doctor that figured out my primary diagnosis this past year. He takes the time needed with patients & is determined to help you feel better. I would highly recommend Dr. Lipp to anyone seeking a GI specialist.
