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 Doctor
I can’t remember where I had my last CT scan or MRI but maybe Quest? Sorry

Patient Review on Dr Pipek
Dr Pipek is very condescending in his approach to patient care and my diabetic concerns. I will be seeking out another doctor to handle my diabetic medical care.

Highly recommend Dr. Pipek!
I have been with Dr. Pipek since the start of all my thyroid issues over a year ago. He always takes the time, listens, answers questions, and trusts that I know what is happening in my body (this is so rare with doctors now days) and works with me to adjust doses of my medication if and when needed. If I feel I need to get labs done early he’s supportive of that and will squeeze me into an appointment even last minute. I have had normal levels for several months now and I highly accredit him for getting me there. Always a great visit

My appointment is as late.
I love Dr.Pipek. But the amount of time that it took for the receptionist to check me in was ridiculous! I got there early, checked in for a 10:40 appointment but was not called up to the desk until 11:00. Did she forget about me? I almost had to reschedule my appointment because I had to be to work at 12:00. My BP was high x2 when the MA checked it. Very disappointed.
