          I absolutely like and respect Dr Lippincott. He makes himself available to me which leads me to believe he does this to all his patients. His turn around time for questions is LESS than a few hours. I am constantly stunned as to how he keeps up with patients and knows absolutely everything about them and can speak with them on the level of understanding they have without making them feel ignorant. This is so important to me.
