Patient Reviews
Aug 26, 2021
Dr Sipes saved not only my life, but my husbands life as well!!! He is the best addiction medicine specialist in this area. He is always accommodating and understanding. His staff is truly caring, and great at their jobs! I was a strung out addict who is now a productive member of society. He truly helped me turn my life around. He also helped my husband who was in the same boat with me. My husband and I now own our own business and we are thriving because of Dr. Sipes. If you or a family member or friend are struggling call him!!! You won’t regret it.
