Patient Reviews
Dec 06, 2023
I was diagnosed with stage 4 non small cell cancer in my left lung. The hospital that diagnosed me I chose to leave AMA as I wanted to find a true professional. I was referred to Dr Liptay & was seen within days. Dr Liptay & his team ran many tests and came up with a treatment plan that concluded with complete removal of my left lung. Sounds awful but this was 14 years ago. I still see him after a CT scan every year. His protocol is as wonderful as his personality. He saved me. I can never repay that. I just wish I behaved better after what happened but I’m grateful for the time he’s given me.
