Patient Testimonials

I was frightened about having surgery to remove my brain tumor. I was told that with surgery I would likely lose hearing in my right ear and I could have facial paralysis and balance problems for the rest of my life. I thought about the possibility that something could go permanently wrong and how this would affect my children. Then I learned about Dr. Lipani and his extensive experience using Cyberknife. He explained that with radiosurgery injury to my hearing and facial nerves would be less risky than surgery. With less risk and no cutting I was sold! It turned out treatment for my tumor was very easy. I didn’t have any side effects and my quality of life never changed.

Just wanted to give you an update regarding my CyberKnife procedure for trigeminal neuralgia. Although it took 8 months after the procedure to obtain pain relief, I have not had any pain. The “pins and needles” sensation in the right side of my face is a small price to pay for 100% pain relief. Thanks again for giving me my life back.

I was diagnosed with a brain tumor that was affecting my vision. I had surgery but my surgeon said it was too dangerous to remove the entire tumor. Then I heard about Dr. Lipani and his expertise using Cyberknife to treat tumors that are considered inoperable. After reading about the option using radiosurgery I was a bit skeptical. After all, I just went through major brain surgery and not only was my tumor still there but my double vision wasn’t any better. Dr. Lipani was very knowledgeable and was able to address my concerns. He explained why my tumor was inoperable and how radiosurgery can be used to treat my tumor safely while preventing further injury. He told me there was also a chance my vision would improve as well. Fortunately for me he was right. The treatment process was a breeze. Thanks to Dr. Lipani and his team my vision improved too. There are no words to describe how happy I am to have survived this ordeal with such amazing success!

Just a note to tell you how very appreciative I am with the care you and your staff gave me during my recent visit and follow-up. It is RARE! I have been to so many physicians in the past year who not only don’t know my name, but also never bothered to read any of the information I sent them prior to my visit.

Not only did you know my name (and pronounce it correctly), but you took the time to become acquainted with me and my condition before I ever came in. Kathy made me feel as though I’ve known her my whole life. Pat was friendly and efficient and seemed to truly care about getting me an appointment quickly.

I can’t tell you what this experience has done for me. It was extraordinary! You and your staff are extraordinary!

Thank you for giving me your time and knowledge. You should teach a class in patient relations to physicians who don’t have a clue!

Once again, thank you. My friends can’t believe that I’ve had such a wonderful experience after all of the less-than-adequate care I’ve received in the past.

Dr. Lipani is the finest neurosurgeon! Compassionate, Caring, Down to Earth with his professionalism; he is the best! My son Alan, had an L-4/ L/5 Spine Fusion, 7.5 hour surgery and I can not thank the “Great Doctor”/Surgeon for his dedication, kindness and caring.

The Doctor outstanding in every way possible. Explaining every detail and taking his time to do so. Amazing for a surgeon to be so informing of the procedure to me and my wife. After the surgery he came out and explained everything to me. My wife is doing great after the cervical spine fusion, moving her arm in ways she hasn’t in years and getting her feeling back in her fingers

Dr. Lipani and his staff are excellent. Dr. Lipani was very thorough. He explained what needed to be treated and why. He has terrific bedside manners. He answered all my questions patiently. Did not rush me at any time. I recommended him to one of my friends and she was extremely happy with him too.

Princeton Neurological Surgery is truly unbelievable!! The office staff is tremendous - they are always available and return calls promptly. Cathy the office manager goes out of her way to assist you. Getting an appointment is super easy and you are seen promptly. Dr. Lipani takes his time and listens - never rushed! The office staff will follow up and stay in touch with you even after appointments or procedures. We drive almost an hour from Edison to the office simply because of Dr. Lipani and his team. I recommend Princeton Neurological Surgery to anyone who is starting the process of finding a doctor or someone who is not happy or needs a second opinion.

Princeton Neurological Surgery is highly recommended. I received top-notch care from the moment I walked into the office. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Kathy handled all my insurance pre-certifications and made sure that no aspect was stress to me. Dr. Lipani is the absolute best. He takes the time to fully explain and answers questions, have a great bedside manner, and saw me every day of my hospital stay after surgery, even on a holiday. I wouldn’t let any other neurosurgeon but Dr. Lipani and his staff treat me. The best in the area!

I cannot say enough about the tremendous care my wife has received from Dr. Lipani and his staff. At every turn they have been supportive and cooperative with both my wife’s symptoms and needs and our schedules. They have done nothing but give to our family the entire time my wife has been under their care.
