Dr. James Kipnis

Just had an appt with Dr. Kipnis and he is amazing. I was seen for a sprained ankle (torn ligaments). He was so delicate and soft to the touch with my ankle. Very professional doctor. He showed and displayed concern. He also calmed my nerves as I’ve never had such an injury. From the staff to the facility it’s self, I’m very satisfied with the service I received.

I saw Dr. Kipnis as a 2nd opinion for a shoulder injury that was initially misdiagnosed. Dr. Kipnis was able to isolate the the actual cause of my pain and performed a much needed surgery. On another occasion I had a severe ankle injury that was potentially career ending, he saved my ankle and my job. The guy is a very competent doctor and a fantastic surgeon. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Kipnis and his staff were all incredible. He was able to take us in the next day-I know this is not always the case with specialists. Everyone in the office were particularly kind and understanding to my very upset 3 year old, who had a broken collarbone. We checked in easily and the wait time was pretty short. He had excellent bedside manner and answered all of my questions regarding her care. Would recommend to anyone!

I appreciate everything about the staff and office of Dr. Kipnis. His staff is totally professional, and the office is clean and modern. He is relatively easy to get an initial appointment. When I first needed an ortho specialist for a fractured elbow I contacted several local practices and was told on average that it would be six weeks before I could be seen, with Dr Kipnis I was taken that morning. I find Dr. Kipnis attentive to what I have to say, and he willing to clearly answer any questions I have about my condition and treatment. I highly recommend him. I wish he would have later hours once a week because I work downtown so it requires some time off for each office visit, however I'm sure that for the majority of his clients this is not an issue.

I saw Dr Kipnis twice for my left ankle, first time he said a little Achilles tendinitis, didn’t give me a brace or tell me to do anything. Second time after I fell and rolled the ankle, resulting in a bad sprain and aggravating the Achilles tendinitis even worse. Again he examined me, gave me an exercise to do, to strengthen the ligaments, but didn’t put me in a boot or brace or tell me that this could be a serious injury. About a week later I took a step on my stairs heard a pop and I ruptured my Achilles tendon. I used to think Dr Kipnis was a good doctor. Now he sent me for an MRI, calls me back the next day scares the hell out of me with what he says on the phone. Now he says it’s urgent that we operate. Well I feel like I was set up for failure, all he wants to do is operate. you get five minutes to visit with the doctor and that’s it. I’m having my surgery done at Hospital for special surgery. Where the dr took all the time she needed. I didn’t feel rushed. This time I’m in good hands. I can’t recommend him.
