Dr. Pipett is always caring, responsive to my needs, and proactive in making sure my preventive screenings are done. In all the years I have been seeing her, my only complaint has been the difficulty of scheduling with her.

Be-bop a-rebop Karly Pippitt pie! BEST HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL OF ALL TIME! Kind, FUNNY AS HELL, listens, gets to the point, knows her stuff - heals ills, fixes broken stuff, puts worries to ease and sends the patient away smiling. Wish I had a lot more diseases or family members with diseases or that she worked on pets who have diseases or I could possibly think of more ways just to get an appt with Dr. Pippitt - I would do it.

Doctor Pippets is one in a million! She never hesitates to take all the time I might need during my appointment. She always takes my concerns very serious. She always allows me to make suggestions. She guides me in the right directions. If things we do don't work out, she's always willing to try something new. She treats me like I'm her one and only patient she's seen all day.

I have seen Dr. Pippett for many years and have always been absolutely happy with her medical care and her caring manner. One of the things I like the most is that she treats me like I have a brain, listens to my feedback, and involves me in decisions about my care. The only reason I didn't give her a 5 on recommending is that she's so booked out (because she's so great!) that appointments with her can be hard to get.

Doctor Pippets is one in a million! She is a doctor that genuinely cares about me as a human. Not just as a patient or another client. She always calms any fears. Always has great advice or suggestions. And treats my health concerns seriously. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a great care provider.
