Dr Lipper has been my doctor since 1988. What's great about Dr Lipper is he takes the time to LISTEN to you and doesn't just write you an Rx or act like a know it all, he's a very compassionate and caring doctor. There are a lot of good doctors out there but it's hard to find one with a good bedside manner like Dr Lipper. He's non judgmental and you can tell him, literally ANYTHING and he will never judge. As for those reviews that complain about his staff, everyone is entitled to a bad day and that's what I think those reviewers encountered. I've never had a problem and if I did it wasn't major as I know I've been unintentionally rude to clients at work when I was having a bad day. Give Arnisha, Dana and Shante a break as they deal with all kinds of patients with all kinds of needs and if they seemed a little off putting don't dwell on it look at it as that person is having a difficult day. Life is too short to worry about the little things, you probably run into more rude people in traffic everyday. Give Dr Lipper another chance because he's well worth it and his staff is too. If little things bother you and you can't let it go, maybe you should be seeing a different kind of doctor. read more

Dr. LIPPER is really good at explaining things to people. He is one of the best doctors I know. His receptionist is very helpful and knowledgeable! His entire staff is very friendly and helpful! They make sure that you feel comfortable!! read more

The staff has been truly responsive and really great about following up to make sure prescriptions and appointments are done correctly really well runoff his team is very kind communicative and supportive. The rock here is very good and they're willing to take the time to look at different elements to make sure they have a good picture and happy to refer you out as needed to get the right testing happy with the x-rays and MRIs needed with some injuries I've had And he's willing to actually take the time to spend with you to understand what's happening which is where in Los Angeles when everyone tries to run out of the room quickly to get the next paycheck this Dr and office truly care A+ read more

Dr Lipper was assigned as my PCP through my insurance, I have the card for it, and the receptionist on the phone was the most classless & rude person I've ever spoken to. Incredibly childish -- I wouldn't recommend this doctor whatsoever based on the call I just had. Just because someone's worked for you for a long time doesn't mean you should keep them around -- this woman has no business working in an industry people go to for help and medical care. Horrible experience! read more

Really wanted to like this doctor, and he appeared initially to be the sort of doctor you hope for; but that was not the case. The entirety of his medical practice consists of referring you to Cedar Sinai emergency room. He even makes jokes that he's "not on the take from them"as he tells you to deal with your organ malfunctions / pain symptoms by going to the emergency room , yet again. His (few) referrals were often to other clinicians that were not on my plan, & I had to go back to his staff again and again to get correct referrals that were Covered( supposedly ) and the staff, they do the best they can, but they really are not qualified or just plain burned out of/for their jobs. The Woman at reception & older RN are nice enough, but they're just not well-qualified, with much apathy/ moderate efforts made only after much pleading . I ended up with 2-3 Thousand$$ in bills to pay off over the next year too... and my condition was not fixed. So- If you have minor Medical needs/ are basically young & healthy, then I'm sure Dr. Lipper would be just fine; If you have complex internal medical issues & are over 45 GO elsewhere. Really. My new PCPs office is so different, totally thorough & so precise, absolutely EPIC staff, his kind, high-quality service with perfect referrals; I wish had I discovered them years ago. Really brings to light the contrast between the Two Medical Practices & the Physicians, and prompted me to pen this overdue review. Avoid Dr. Lipper for your PCP- despite his convenient location & seemingly pleasant demeanor- he's Not Good & one CAN get better care elsewhere.. then the ER, his main solution to every problem. Sigh. read more

Love Doctor Lipper, but his staff is terrible. Shocked that they have been with him for twenty years. I know going from a PPO to HMO was an adjustment, but goodness the service is lacking. This is issue for all HMO Doctor's to be frank. Not only did his office manager and receptionist make two basic mistakes on my record...but her follow through on questions was poor. The real problem is with his nurse Shawnte. She has the worst attitude I have ever encountered. Sassy and direct with huge lull in response time is not the way to treat new patients. Once you do see Lipper, it is almost worth it, but the pain to get to that point is a damn shame. read more

If this review was about Dr. Lipper, I'd render 5 stars. But if ZERO stars was available, that would be my choice for his lousy office staff! Their interaction customer relationship skills just SUCK. One of the gals apologized to me a couple years ago but after 2 grievances filed with Humana/Prospect about my multi-experiences, I decided to write to Dr. Lipper personally in email. In response, he chose to tell me (after his own investigation) that he felt it would be better to change physicians in my network after building a 3 year relationship with him. (I'm 70 by the way) It saddens me to have to change personal physicians at this point in my life. I found Dr. Lipper very professional, totally caring, trustworthy, attentive and never hurrying me in and out. He was also conveniently located for me. The problem is, I had to constantly deal with the unprofessional wickedness of his office staff at almost every juncture of interaction (usually over the phone). Good luck with them. They don't listen - they wait to talk - and they are just plain inappropriately mouthy, condescending and mean. If you don't experience the same dysfunction I have described, then we will have have to chalk it off simply as my bad chemistry with them - BUT if you look at a few of the other reviews in here, you will find that I wasn't the only one who experienced what I did! I feel Dr. Lipper needs to elevate the spiritual aspect of harmoniousness and uplift the ethic of customer service with respect for patient's rights to express what they need and expect without aggressiveness and condescending tone from the office staff.

Lipper Arthur E MD - NOT HAPPY WITH OFFICE STAFF AT ALL. - Internal Medicine Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

Dr. Lipper has been our internist for over 30 years. He is very professional, open to alternative medicine, great bedside manners and very kind. Also, a good listener which is important for patients. I am grateful having him as my internist. read more

I never took a chance on Dr. Lipper because of his lead front desk employee. Rude, discourteous, curt and unprofessional are some of the kinder descriptions that come to mind. Hopefully physicians like Dr. Lipper will recognize that the people who answer their phones are a direct reflection on them and their valuable practice. Stay away from this office! With little effort I found a wonderful PCP with a kind and caring staff. read more

Really glad I was went to see Dr. Lipper. My wife and so sat down with him for an extended period of time. I was genuinely impressed with his friendly nature and professionalism. He answered every question we had and listened intently. My only regret is that Dr. Lipper is not my regular/personal doctor. Out of all of the doctors I have met in my life, Dr. Lipper ranks highest on y list. Well done kind sir. read more

Dr. Lipper has been taking care of my husband and me for at least 20+ years. He and everyone who works in his office (the "A Team") are "simply the best, better than all the rest!" Thorough, Professional, Kind, Caring, Humane, Diligent, Helpful -- exactly what you want from your healthcare professionals. I honestly can't say enough. My highest recommendation to these wonderful caregivers. Thank You! read more

Dr.Lipper was recommended to me by my in-laws, I've seen him for the past 2 years. He is an amazing doctor and his staff consists of nothing but compassionate and prideful people. He listens to all of your concerns and does not rush you out the door, he takes pride in diagnosing you correctly. I cannot have asked for a better doctor. read more

I had my first visit with Dr. Lipper this week. I have to say Dr. Lipper and his whole team (nurses and front desk staff) are amazing. Everyone was so kind and helpful. Dr. Lipper really took his time and listened to every question and concern I had. I never felt rushed. He also has a good sense of humor which made the experience that much more pleasant. I feel really happy to have found this place. read more

I'm a big fan of Dr. Arthur Lipper. He is an excellent doctor who takes time with his patients every visit. I've referred many patients to him and all have had positive feedback. Timeliness: Every appointment I've had, I've been taken in to see the doctor on time. Hours: Note - They are closed for lunch from like 1-2:30pm every day and no one will pick up phone during that time. It's best to call outside of those hours and select "make an appointment" to speak to someone in person. Parking: there is street parking in surrounding neighborhood. read more

Dr. Lipper is kind, considerate and caring. He'll be my doctor for life. I highly recommend him. read more

This was my first time coming to see Dr. Lipper and his staff. I am blown away by how professional, kind, and helpful everyone has been. Above all it is rare to find a physician along with his staff that is so warm and caring. I don't know any of these people, but I felt I like and was receiving some kind of VIP treatment. Nope, that's just how they are with all of their patients. I was completely comfortable throughout my time there and I agree with all the recommendations and concerns of Dr. Lipper. He is a smart, rational, and caring physician. There is no doubt I will come back again as well as refer all of my family and friends. read more

Arrived a few minutes late to an appointment and was sent away with instructions from the front desk staff to send Dr.Lipper an email of why I needed to be seen and what my symptoms were. Apparently my symptoms were severe since his staff contacted me after he read the email 3 days later and took me off from work. I qualified for a disability claim from my employer to get paid for my time off but Dr. Lipper refuses to fill out the claim form because he did not physically see me for disability due to him sending me away. As much as I was going through at the time I now have a month of unpaid disability leave due to his negligence. If you need a physician to actually care for you and your health needs please seek elsewhere! Zero stars! read more

Finally got an appointment to see the doctor. He was ok, got a referral to another specialist, that was about it. I am on medication for high blood pressure and they did not even check that. When you call this doctors office you get a machine with the usual choices. I called Monday morning, left a message that I need my prescription refilled. No response. Called that afternoon, the following day. Again the following day, a total of five times, still no response. Finally I went to my pharmacist Thursday afternoon and they called. Of course they got similar treatment. They called again and were put on hold. Finally I got my prescription filled with the assistance of my wonderful Ralph's pharmacist. Pathetic, the customer/patent service is simply pathetic. Aetna Insurance covered, X patient of Dr Lipper. read more

Dr. Lipper was fine the one time I saw him. My issue is the ineptitude of the office. I have called several times over the months and very rarely am able to get through to a person. Often the recording says they are closed even though it's operating hours. I left 3 messages over last few weeks and never received a response. It's time to join this century and offer online scheduling or simply return phone calls. Moving on to another doctor... read more

Such a wonderful doctor! Caring, knowledgable - quite simply the best of the best :) The staff are equally friendly and seem to love their jobs. I always feel like I'm paying out of pocket when in reality, I'm not. And I would gladly pay for his services if at any time I am lacking insurance coverage. read more

Dr. Lipper spends time with his patients, has reasonable appointment dates and is concerned with how his patients are received. Since scheduling with Dr. Lipper I have subsequently have moved to Northern LA, but I'll treat with him because he's worth it! read more

Arthur hooked me up in a pinch. as I was getting ready to leave town, I got an asthma attack again. I get them every few years, but this was a bad one. Usual Dr. Lipper has a wait to see him, but he returned my call and got me a prescription over the phone for an inhaler. Dependable, professional and caring sum up this doctor. read more

I went to see Dr. Lipper for these headaches that were related to stress from work. I told him my symptoms and he asked me "Have I ever had headaches in the past?" I said " Hmm, maybe once and a blue moon". At this time I was working 60hrs a week for work, and the lack of sleep was giving me headaches. I was hoping for something stronger than Tylenol, bc they were so painful. As soon as I said I got headaches once and a blue moon. He said "hmm okayyyyy", and then began writing something down in my chart. Three weeks later I found out he submitted the billing to my insurance saying that I had pre-existing condition!!!!! Typically when you have a reg Dr visit they bill as "checkup". My insurance saw this and they freaked out!!!! I I had three people from my insurance provider call me and interview me one -by -one of "what happened and asking me if I had a preexisting condition and if I lied to them!!!??" After hours of being bombarded from my health insurance the last interviewer said they were going to do an extensive investigation and would receive paper work in the mail about this investigation. After two months of my insurance realizing that I was telling the truth and that he incorrectly wrote the wrong code for billing, and " we spoke to Dr Lipper and confirmed with him that I did not have a preexisting condition and that he needs to re submit a bill with the "check up code", not the "preexisting condition code", he told them that he "would not do that bc I truly believe she has a preexisting condition and do not believe you" ( the insurance company). My insurance spoke to him four times asking to please resubmit the bill with the right code and he declined every time with that same response. I was charge hundreds of dollars. My insurance recommended me to get another doctor that he was looking to get more money out of me, that is why he billed me that way. When you bill "preexisting condition you receive more money from the insurance company and the patient has to pay a lot out of pocket as well. As opposed to a checkup it cost less money. The billing department is so unorganized they will lose your payment multiple times, and harass you every week saying they never received anything. Even if you send them your bank statement, they will lose it at least four times and you will have to hear from them for about six months after your visit, every few weeks. They also will send your bills to a collection department even if you made a payment one week after your Dr appt. These people have a vendetta of wanting to screw up your credit just for kicks. Luckily my bank put them in place, telling Dr Lipper's billing office that they confirmed payment with the billing manager over 15 times and even sent copies of my check to them and when payment was confirmed from there account. My bank removed me from collection and this was another headache of a situation. On another note, if you are late for Dr Lipper he will straight up say" I don't want to see them, they are five minutes late." I have seen him send many people home when even people are a few minutes late. He then will say "make sure you charge them a late fee as well." I wish I could give him zero stars for him being such a dishonest person. PLEASE EVERYONE WATCH YOUR BACK if you go here, bc he will get his moneys worth out of you, some way and some how. This Dr will get his money worth out of you. All he cares about is making money. He has no morals and will get his moneys worth out of every patient. He is dishonest and acts like a dirty car sales man. HE IS HORRIBLE!!!! Worst doctor I have ever had, due to his dishonesty. read more

Dr. Lipper and the his staff are the best and responsive to all questions. Dr. Lipper knows his stuff when it comes to the body. Appointments are always on time and they make it easy when needing a referral. He is well known in the community by other doctors and all positive from the other doctors. read more

I was compelled to write my first review today out of the kindness I have received from this office. I haven't been into the office yet (Dr. Lipper is my new PCP) but needed referrals for a few emergency specialist visits. I've never experienced such kindness from doc receptionists before! Arnisha followed up with me right away and I had a referral within the day! You are not just a number here. They treat you with dignity and compassion and I highly recommend this office. read more

Dr Lipper is the most caring doctor I ever had. He goes out of his way to help his patients. I highly recommend this doctor to others. His office staff are highly knowledgeable and professional. I wish more doctors had his bed side manners. read more

I have been a patient of Dr.Lipper for several years -- I had a series of health problems and he has made referral s that aided me toward wellness -- I respect this doctor -- and I think highly of him .. read more

Please be advised the Dr. Lipper and his nurses do not address LGBT issues or medication. The also do not believe that anyone reads or uses online reviews to find a doctor. If you are looking for a modern practice look elsewhere! I have had many doctors over the course of my life and cannot urge strongly enough to stay away from this office. read more

Dr. Art has been my chief medical officer for 30 years. We have been together in good times and bad times. He is one of the truly great physicians. With COVID, I have been in for a while. I got 2 great referrals for special needs. I called recently and one of his staff members blurted out with the words, "I love you." In that moment, I got choked up as well, because patients are sacred with this group. About 12 years ago, I stepped on a dog toy coming down the stairs, flew, shattered four ribs and punctured a lung. At Cedars, the did an MRI, diagnosed the ribs and sent me home. Dr. Art called and order me to get an ambulance immediately. I would have died. I lived through an ordeal at the hospital. Almost died again at the hands of a trauma team. That night, I opened my eyes and he was standing in the doorway of my room in ICU. He said, "I heard. You've been through hell, haven't you?" He gave me the one safe place to disclose what happened. I will never forget it. read more

I was sent to Dr. Lipper for an evaluation and I must say he is such a nice and repectful Dr. He does not make you feel uneasy, it's like he almost treat you like family. I would so see him again if I had to.. read more

This Dr. took terrible care of my mother...never retured her phone calls, never even called to report on the results of blood tests and the staff was told they couldn't give her the results. Terribly frustrating experience. Surprised at the good reviews...only thing I can think of is that when you actually "see" the Dr. he is nice and seems personalble but never followed through. Seemed like he didn't care after the visit. The new Dr. is a dream...completely the opposite. Returns phone calls, answers questions and concerns...nothing overly complicated...just professional. Wished she had switched a long time ago. I would not every go to this dr. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Lipper forever! I love this man!. He is kind and truly cares about his patients. Not only is he wonderful, but I love his staff as well. I hesitate to write such a glowing report, because I fear he will become too busy, but I also want to let others know that this is a great doctor. read more
