Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Someone who actually cared
I really appreciated Dr. Kipta's care and how awesome he was for me. I lit up every time he came into the room because I felt someone who actually cared was taking care of me

I saw Dr. Kipta when he was still at Straub. He insisted my 10/10 headache was a PTSD episode, yet refused to call my therapist. He also refused to contact the dr at Stanford I had been in contact with for possible cerebrospinal fluid leaks. He gaslit me and spoke down to me. He was terrifying. When I finally made it to Stanford it was discovered I had 3 cerebrospinal fluid leaks due to my connective tissue disorder. My brain had been sagging into my brainstem and compressing. If I had listened to Kipta I'd be dead.

I've suffered from migraines all my life. Dr. Kipta has been to best neurologist that I've had. He listens to me and my issues and works with me on a plan that fits my lifestyle while giving advice on how I can reduce my migraine frequency. He's extremely professional and knowledgeable. I highly recommend Dr. Kipta for anyone suffering migraines

In seeking relief for a family member's problems, we were referred to Dr. Kipta. We are impressed with how well he gets to know his patients and treats them with respect. He explains procedures thoroughly, and patiently answers questions. We feel confident that Dr. Kipta has our family member's best interest at heart, and is well qualified to offer treatment and care. He seems approachable and kind, while remaining professional.

My 87 year old mother is Dr. Kipta's patient. He was very thorough with her initial examination and he made her feel at ease immediately. On the follow up visit, he explained the results of her brain scan using both medical terminology and analogies to make sure we both understood her current condition. We never felt rushed and the next step directions were clear.

He is very honest. I have had other doctors talk to me about me condition but, Dr. Kipta was by far the most through and open. He responds to my concerns and he has a joking lightside. These are the reasons why I trust him.
