In her notes she writes things to help me understand what we talked about. She always addresses me with courtesy and friendliness and does the same when it's time to go. She doesn't make me feel stupid for questions or my concerns. She's respectful and if she doesn't know things she will try to find them out - yes, she practices her medicine!

I can say without guile that Dr. Pippitt has remained true the phrase: "Primum non nocere." Thence living by the precepts of her vow to assist the ailed, injured and frightened.

Dr Pippitt is someone who treats me as someone that she knows. What a gift! She knows I'm anxious and keeps that in mind when we discuss things. She goes over past visit discussions, we talk about concerns I have presently. She is very involved and active in her efforts to provide me with excellent medical care. She invites me in decision making and this is of huge importance to me. Always takes me a while to trust a new doctor, I do "doctor shopping"to try them out to see how I feel the relationship will be for me. I'm sooo glad I took a chance with Dr Pippitt.

I appreciated Dr Pippitt's sense of humor. She listened and made me feel welcome and that I was not a burden for coming forward with concerns

2021-12-29
SUGAR HOUSE HEALTH CENTER

Dr Pippitt is excellent on her listening, her ideas and asking me how I feel about them, likes when I bring a list for us to look at (even if we don't get to everything we address some). She "does her homework" to check with colleagues or research something. Only thing was this time she mentioned one of my items on the list and then she said something like I don't know what that is, and then left it at that. Actually I think she is reaching out to another provider to see what she thinks. So, I guess maybe I experienced it differently than what happened.

2021-12-14
