If my nurse could not answer my question or if my doctor needed to be involved, she was notified and was brought into the portal discussions or phone calls right away. Dr Hipp is so caring and understanding. She makes a procedure comfortable and easy.

Dr. Hipp is the best provider I met. She genuinely cares about you and takes the time to answer all your questions. I don't think I would have had the same great outcome if I didn't meet her.

I rave about Dr. Hipp to my friends, and we've barely started the IVF process. She is extremely kind and patient with all of our questions. She does an excellent job of explaining very complex processes in a way that we can digest and understand. I never feel rushed when meeting with Dr. Hipp.

I believe everyone went above and beyond to give excellent care. There were multiple IV sticks that were uncomfortable with Lidocaine stick that hurt and seemed to make the IV sticks dbl the pain. After the surgery I had an allergic reaction to something and my arm had an unknown rash.

She wasn't very concerned about my reason for the visit (fertility support). She spent the entire appointment complaining about scheduling and lack of other providers.

Dr Hipp is truly the best and makes me feel as though I am her only priority during our interactions. Emory is lucky to have her!
