Dr. Andrew M Lipton, DO

I am pretty healthy, but at 76 years of age, certain problems are expected. I have had several doctors in the past, and all have variously mis-diagnosed the problem or the solution. Dr. Lipton gets to the issue quickly and has always provided the proper solution. Contrary to expected practices, Dr. Lipton spends whatever time a patient needs for his treatment, which is why the wait can often seem extended. But consider that you will receive the time that you might need in return. Dr. Lipton is a gifted osteopath, and his manipulations are quick and mostly point out the problems quickly, which he treats properly. I also like his use and openness to non-standard treatments that he has found to work. I have received PRP shots for my knee problems and that has worked wonders. My wife and daughter both rely on Dr. Lipton's treatment as our first line of approach for all ailments and concerns.

Dr. Lipton has been my husband's and my primary care doctor for about 20 years, and we love him! Extremely smart, personable, knowledgeable, open-minded, patient, and communicative, he is skilled as a diagnostician, generous with his time, willing to dialogue with us about our options, and eager to research new preventive and therapeutic techniques. I especially respect Dr. Lipton's extensive knowledge of allopathic, integrative and holistic medicine and appreciate his use of natural and nutritional therapies whenever possible. He genuinely listens to our concerns, is always open to our questions, and is surprisingly responsive to email communication between visits. A warm, engaging physician and ideal "health partner," Andrew Lipton demonstrates all the attributes that an exceptional doctor should have. I hope he never retires!

Very professional, kind doctor and staff - he’s been my doctor for five years-always, always “spot on” diagnostic and treatment- I highly recommend

Dr. Lipton has been our family doctor for the past 10 years. There is no other doctor we trust more than him and his staff at Narberth Family Medicine

I asked a close friend of mine to recommend a doctor. Without hesitating for one second she emphatically and excitedly responded, Dr. Lipton! After years of dealing with auto immune issues she finally found someone who could help. With his extensive knowledge of Western medicine, Integrative and Holistic approaches, it seemed as though we would also find some answers to the problems we have been battling, from bewildering auto immune symptoms to a recent stroke. He offers the best of both. During my appointments, Dr. Lipton takes the time needed time to address concerns to figure out the best course of treatment to help you heal. Any wait is worth it. We find him to be genuinely concerned, warm, patient, personable, engaging on an individual basis, always open to questions, and despite his busy schedule, quick to respond to emails if any questions arise between visits.

Dr. Lipton saved me a trip to the office with an accurate medical opinion based on his charts of me. Hooray for the internet and for the staff at Dr. Lipton's office that keeps him informed of incoming e-mail.

Dr. Lipton has been my primary care doctor for twenty years. For me, he has all the attributes that an exceptional doctor should have. He genuinely practices holistic medicine, using natural remedies and interventions whenever possible. He takes his time to listen and respects what I am saying and feeling. I can completely trust his treatment.

I think my headline says it all. I have been Dr. Lipton's patient for a very long time and have gotten consistent great help from him and from his staff. He takes good care of me and takes all the time that is necessary to address my health issues. He is also amazingly responsive to email communication.

Dr. Lipton is a caring physician who works collaboratively with his patients for their ultimate welfare.

I have been a patient of Dr Lipton's for about 7 years. He is a warm, personable, and engaging physician -- a very rare combination. Be prepared to discuss your concerns with a doctor who really listens and is truly interested in addressing those concerns.

Dr. Lipton's approach to medicine is holistic and integrative. I find this approach to be very effective. In addition, he is excellent at osteopathic manipulation, which is quite beneficial for me. Dr. Lipton is intelligent, knowledgeable, down to earth, warm, open to new ideas, and he utilizes new & alternative treatments. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

I believe in working with the best in any field. Dr. Lipton and his staff meet these standards. He is extremely attentive to his patients' needs, and addresses them alternatively before recommending prescriptions and procedures that might not be necessary. He is on the front line of alternative holistic treatments, including stem cell work, thermography, chelation and vitamin therapies, and even offering acupuncture (with his wife Mary Ann) and massage therapies. They treated me for a workers' comp-related injury, knowing they would not receive payment until the case was resolved. There was no guarantee they would ever see a penny, but they trusted me and were absolutely phenomenal in their treatment even though they were not getting paid up front. Dr. Lipton and his staff are honorable as well as knowledgeable, and able to apply their knowledge with clarity and compassion. I thoroughly recommend Dr. Lipton and his staff for all family medical needs.

I came in with vomiting & exhaustion after I had wrist surgery. My previous doctor would have written me a prescription but Dr. Lipton rehydrated me and chelated in some electrolytes. Big difference. Really worked and didn't cause any of the problems that medication would have. Also stayed late on a Friday to see me. Finds his patients interesting.

No doctor has ever spent the time that Dr Lipton did with me, I felt heard and acknowledged, as opposed to many other doctors dismissing my complaints. He is a gem!

Dr Lipton is an expert at Osteopathic diagnosis and manipulation. My years sciatic pain resolved within three treatments

Unlike most holistic dr's, dr Lipton treats more as a western go. I. E. , next, next, next!!' There is NO patient education or explaination of lab tests. I have been in holistic medicine for 40 yrs & sadly I miss the older dr's (most of whom have died) from whom I've acquired a wealth of medical information, w/ the difference explained of what's being done holistically vs traditional medicine.

For more than twenty years Dr Lipton and his staff have been taking really great care of me. He knows traditional and alternative medicines. His wife MaryAnn is a wonderful acupuncturist.

I was treated here, and had some recommended lab tests done. I had inquired about pricing and informed my insurance would pay for it. Low and behold, they did not pay, and I was slapped with a $500 bill. I had called the office repeatedly and reassured it was a minor error. Apparently, per my insurance, "fatigue" was not an appropriate diagnosis code--and NOT the reason I had this blood drawn. Long story short, I filed a rebuttal, which apparently the office was notified of. I received a nasty, and nearly threatening, phone call from the front office staff telling me to drop my insurance rebuttal or I'd be stuck with the entire bill. Turns out, they didn't keep proper records of my information. I don't know what had happened, but I never dropped my rebuttal and I was not charged. This is not a professionally run office, and the rude and condescending phone call because of THEIR billing error and THEIR inability to keep records was absolutely abhorrent. I really feel for the patient who discussed the double billing. I believe it happened that way, from my own experience.

I had a very disappointing and unprofessional experience with Narberth Family Medicine. After spending some time with them on the phone verifying my insurance, as well as asking questions about their philosophy and approach to newborn care, I made an appointment for my son. I was a little surprised that they take a $100 deposit from all new patients, in case you are to cancel - even after I provided them with insurance and billing information, but gave them a CC number anyway. I got my baby up from a nap, traveled 30 minutes and arrived 10 minutes early to fill out the paperwork, only to be told after filling it out, that they did not take my insurance after all (as of 6 months ago) and I would be charged $300 for my visit. I did get my $100 deposit back (which had already been charged?!?) but even so, there is no excuse for wasting people's time like this. To add insult to injury, I asked the receptionist if she could recommend any other physicians in the area that follow a similar approach to Dr Lipton. She said she would talk to the doctor and call me the next day. Big surprise! I never heard from them.

I lov ethat Dr Lipton is knowledgable and is willing to take much that 13.5 minutes with you. He has a wholistic approach and offers accupuncture and massage therapy and nutritionals at his office. He also does adjustments to the spine which are exceptional. i could go on...
