What Members Are Saying

In 1997 my older brother died suddenly from a heart attack. My neighbor mentioned to Dr Lippelman my situation and he stopped me on the street and told me to come in. Now 27 years later and a quadruple bypass in 2012, I’m happy to say he’s still my Doctor and a good friend. He takes the time to listen and make sure I have the best care. Without him I probably wouldn’t be writing this testimonial.

Gary

Patient of John P. Lippelman, MD

Dr. Lippelman has been a doctor who has guided us in life's medical situations always willing to give counsel while providing excellent treatment and expert referrals when necessary.

Howard

Patient of John P. Lippelman, MD

I have been a patient of Dr. Lippelman for many years and have had an excellent relationship as it relates to my health. There are the routine necessities of good heath care. He has always tried to make these visits as pleasant as possible. However we have been together involved in some very serious and difficult situations involving my care. But in each instance I was glad he was there for me, never wavering. Further I consider him a friend and pleased to have him as guest in my home. He gets 5 stars from me.

PERSONALIZED CARE FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY
My practice helps my patients gain control of their health and lead longer, healthier lives through the early detection of illness and personalized wellness plans. It is the close partnership between you and me that will help you reach your wellness goals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most MDVIP-affiliated primary care practices accept insurance (your physician can tell you whether they accept your specific insurance plan). Your annual fee pays for preventive care medical services that insurance usually doesn’t cover (e.g., advanced diagnostic testing and screenings). Your MDVIP-affiliated physician will continue to bill your insurance and charge copays, co-insurances and deductibles as he or she currently does for other medical services like sick visits.

MDVIP makes wellness and prevention easier by providing your physician with innovative tools and technology. MDVIP supports your physician’s practice and seeks to eliminate barriers to a positive healthcare experience. Your doctor will determine whether and how to incorporate these tools at his/her discretion.

Game Changer

from William in FL • September 28, 2023

My experience with Dr. Lippleman has been nothing short of amazing. I have never had a doctor with such a focus on preventative care in my life. He takes time to counsel/consult and takes a genuine interest in my well being. This is what a health care should be.

A Doctor amongst doctors

from Cynthia in FL • August 31, 2023

As a retired RN, I have encountered many MDs. I must admit that after meeting Dr. Lippelman, I am so impressed with his caring nature, knowledge, ability to actively listen, and his follow through performance. His office is one that emanates warmth, respect, and efficiency. I highly recommend this practice. Anyone choosing Dr Lippelman is making the best investment in his/her quality of life!

I've called a lot of people "Doc" in my life, none were better that Doc Lippelman.

from Mario in FL • January 4, 2023

It's what everyone expects (and deserves) from a physician; their time and personal attention. I've been with Dr. Lippelman for five years and he's never failed to give either. He adds to that his dedication to his field, his constant study of advances in medicine, and his long experience in caring for patients and all of that has equaled the best experience with healthcare I Read more...

from GaryJerome in FL • March 18, 2020

Back in 1997 when my only Brother passed away from a heat attack, my neighbors reached out to Dr. John Lippelman to see if maybe he would be my Doctor. I remember him stopping me in my car and telling me to make an appointment. He's been my Doctor ever since and it was easy to follow him to MDIVP. In late 2011 I asked him to do a stress test and he did, it eventually lead to a quaduple by- Read more...

He is always there for his patients

from Renee in FL • March 12, 2020

I have never had a health care professional like Dr. Lippelman. He cares about his patients - and everything you throw at him. He is up to date on so many latest studies and books and with his many years of experience he brings incredible knowledge and wisdom for whatever is going on with you as a patient. He also thinks about the whole person - body, mind, and spirit. I don't have a Read more...
