Dr. Lipton did my thyroid surgery in 2007. I had never had any health issues before - no surgeries, no broken bones, not even stitches, ever. He explained everything in a manner which I could understand and then make informed decisions. He had such a kind bedside manner. He was so pleasant to work with on every occasion - regular appointments, biopsies, surgery, follow-up. I can't find enough nice things to say about him during what, at the time, was the worst experience I had ever gone through.
