Howard Lipkin's Online Review Report Card

I have seen a couple of dermatologists in the past. The main one being Dr. Lipkin. I have since moved and tried one in my area, and I was not impressed. Dr. Lipkin is very thorough and takes the time to answer any questions. I also noticed how he documents the moles and with pictures. I will definitely be making the drive to see him. It is worth it.

Without reservation I can state that this practice is questionable. You are directed to use an out of town pharmacy simply because they have a relationship. I truly believe this practice will eventually be engrossed in legal problems soon due to unethical practices.

I'm getting increasingly more concerned why they insisted on me using a pharmacy based out of Shelby Township.

I’ve only seen doctor Lipkin 2 times in 2 years. All my appointments are with the PA Matt. He spends at most 5 minutes with me for my Humira follow ups and he never gets my prescriptions right. Paperwork that is required by the Humira assistance program and specialty pharmacy does not get sent in on time so I wait weeks without my medication. Among other reasons for not writing my prescriptions...they told me that I didn’t get the required bloodwork or chest X-ray done only to find that I DID do it...causing another delay. I’m tired of the long delays getting medication that I need to stay clear from plaque psoriasis. I feel as though they do not care about their patients and I will be looking for another dermatologist. Maybe if I were a cosmetic patient looking for cool sculpting and not a medical patient needing medication to have clear skin from the discomfort of plaque psoriasis I might be treated better! I’m guessing it’s all about the money. I’m sure cosmetic procedures make them more money than writing prescription and quarterly office visits.

I have been a patient with Dr. Lipkin for years and would not trust anyone else to treat me.

Dr. Lipkin has been my dermatologist for several years and would highly recommend him to anyone! I have also been seen by both of his PA's which I would also recommend. His staff is very friendly and knowledgeable which is wonderful.

I've seen Dr Lipkin on many occasions and found him to be very understanding as well as spot on with getting rid of hideous red marks on my face that were swollen and tender. I felt awful, yet he was kind and gentle. We need more Drs that are so caring. Most recently I've enjoyed a procedure of a product that reduces wrinkles and fills creased as well as made me look a lot younger. My friends have commented that it is a significant difference. I agree. Thank you so much Dr Lipkin

The best dermatologist in town!

I have been a patient of Dr. Lipkin for 15 years, he's the BEST in town.

Very professional! Dr. Lipkin is the best dermatologist I have ever been to.

Basically there is a problem with his staff steal medication from customers. Both Him and His PA Matt are excellent at what they do.

THE BEST!! I will not go to anyone else.. !!

Very professional atmosphere and operation. The front desk and staff were friendly and courteous. Dr. Cliffel spent time with me and explained in adequate detail my case and answered all of my questions. Highly recommended.

Severe Acne Scarring Due to Error in Prescribing Accutane Overdose. In short, I was prescribed twice the amount of Accutane that would be advised for my height/weight/severity of acne. This caused my acne to not only get worse, but it turned into cystic acne - large, hard bumps under the skin that left deep icepick scarring all over my cheeks, The three month overdose of Accutane also caused me to have nose bleeds at least twice a day and prevented me from focusing on college because I had to make a trip to see him at least once a week in order to have cortisone injectioned into the cysts. It's been about 8 years since this happened, but the scars are still there. The bottom line is that he was very good at making money and I believe curing the acne was on the back burner somewhere. It wasn't until I switched dermatologists and began taking half the amount of accutane..within a week I was cleared up.

I am not one to normally write reviews, I feel compelled after yet another terrific visit. After seeing two very disappointing dermatologists, I found Dr. Lipkin five years ago and all my problems have vanished. He is incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and has a fabulous disposition. Crazy as it may sound, I actually look forward to my visits with him. I've turned my family on to him, and they all love him also. THE standard for great Doctors...

You'll never find a better doctor than Dr Lipkin. He has a great personality & takes his time with you. Any question you have is answered & you never feel uncomfortable. His staff is great from the moment you walk in the office. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Lipkin is a great doctor, who cares and listens. Very comprehensive in his care and always develops a very intelligent plan that covers all the aspects of the visits-very highly recommended 10 stars

I look 20 years younger. Thank you
