I was referred to Dr. Hipp by Dr. Earl Pickens due to a hernia I had. I weighed over 350lbs. I went to surgery on 6/12/15. Dr. Hipp had me in and out of surgery fast. I went in on a Friday morning and was out of the hospital by Sunday afternoon. Dr. Hipp came and checked on at least twice on Friday after I woke and also on Saturday as well as his PA came to see me as well. I weighed 358lbs the day of surgery. I now weigh in between 220 to 230lbs. Dr. Hipp less then a year after my sleeve also removed my hernia. He did a great job on both my surgeries. My scars are very small and barely noticeable now. Dr. Earl Pickens did my gallbladder removal and the scars to that surgery are also barely noticeable. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Hipp if you are wanting to look into the surgery and if you decide you want to get the sleeve surgery Dr. Hipp is the best. One of a kind doctor. Very happy with everything he has done for me.
The following is just my impressions of my own personal experience and I am making no statements about what other people may experience:
My first impression was that he was well versed in the procedure and personable. This impression did not change over time. I came through the surgery with little to no pain and no complications. His office staff is very nice, curteous and professional. His office offers and insists on structured after care. They give patients a notebook full of nutrition guidelines and lifestyle changes. Overall I have been happy with the process.
Again this is just my impression of my own personal experience and I am making no statements about what other people may experience.
Dr. Hipp is a great surgeon and I'm so happy that I chose him. He's very professional, caring and easy to talk to. I really believe that he cares about his patients which really means a lot to me. I would highly recommend him to anybody looking for a surgeon in the Gainesville, Florida area.
I went to a conference on the lap band surgery. I immediately liked Dr. Hipp. He was a larger man then than he is now. I assumed he understood the enjoyment of food. I chose him to be my surgeon for the lap band. He is very professional and reassuring. He explained the procedure in common english and not medical terminology.rn When I visit his office for check ups and fills I can discuss any thing with him. I am a diabetic. I was on medicine and now I am off. I do not regret choosing Dr. Hipp as my doctor. I know that this site steers you to say negative things about your surgeon, but I have never had a negative experience with my surgeon. He takes his time with patients. He will ask questions and answers them in a way that makes you feel comfortable. He is very knowledgeable in his profession. His age was okay with me. I thought that would make him more up to date and familiar on techniques that are being used today. rn
DR. HIPP AND HIS STAFF ARE THE BEST...NOT REALLY CRAZY ABOUT TRISH BUT EVERYONE THERE IS VERY NICE :)
Dr. Timothy Hipp was great. Very impressed with him. He took time to answer all questions. I would highly recamened him and his staff. As well as NFRMC.
Dr. Hipp is a great surgeon. He is a bit quiet and I do not think he speaks openly enough with you, but he is friendly and you can tell he really cares. He makes time for your questions even when he is running behind. I would definitely recommend him!
my surgeon was great his bed side manor was really good he told me that i was going to do good but didn't think i was going to loose 194 pounds and still loosing
Dr Hipp has been a Godsend. He exhibited extensive knowledge of the surgery and was supportive of my decision to choose RNY over lap-band. He's very easy to talk with, and has a gentle touch. I felt very comfortable with him, and enjoy his dry sense of humor as well.
