Dr. Locas Kipp has been so helpful and even before I asked the questions, he stayed proactive and explain exactly what I want to know most. He is highly experienced, professional and really cares about his patients! Excellent experience with Dr. Kipp.
He goes above and beyond to make sure all my questions are answered, and to also offer info I didn't even know that I needed. He's openminded to my choices, and is extremely supportive. I didn't go to Stanford for years for a follow up as a result of seeing Dr. Dunn at the time, who in my opinion had a very insensitive bedside manner. I am so happy that I have Dr. Kipp now, whom I trust completely.

Dr. Kipp spent extra time with me discussing/helping an issue that was unrelated to my neurological issue - very thankful to him as he helped me straighten some things out.
I hadn't seen Dr. Kipp in several years & that was a huge mistake on my part. He is well worth the 3 hr. drive to see him. He ensures my files are complete & represent reality of having w/MS. Most other dr. visits are 15 minutes so there's no time for this depth of care.

Dr. Kipp was very attentive to my concerns and made me feel comfortable in expressing myself. Overall, I felt welcome to be there.
Dr. Kipp cares about the patient's clinical workup and takes the time to spend with his patients explaining the follow-up visits and coordinates with other external physicians as needed on behalf of patients. Dr. Kipp is diligent with his email follow-up and I'm very pleased he accepted me as his patient.
My wife really like this places and my self and kids they love this places.
Dr. Kipp is extremely capable and excellent at explaining everything to the patient. He truly cares about his patients. Now after one year of being his patient I feel like a healthy woman again who could achieve her goals. He is very patient explaining the issue over and over to the patient and the members of the family. he has very good and soft 'bedside manners' and he really accommodates the patient needs. He makes sure that the patient gets the right care. And he is super knowledgeable.
Dr. Kipp and Luka were excellent in explaining to me how MS affected me. Best explanation I have ever received. They took the time and effort to explain and give me confidence showed me they CARED! And they explained in terms I could understand.
This was an amazing experience w/both my internist & Dr. Kipp. I really appreciated when he pulled up MRI images of MS brains on Google & then compared with mine. It helped me feel more confident about the assessment.
the doctors have explained things in simple and copassionate terms.
Dr. Kipp is a marvelous dr. He is smart & very caring. Took a lot of time to test and explained everything.
MY INTERNIST DR ARTANDI IS ALWAYS FABULOUS AND HAS ALWAYS GIVEN THE BEST OF CARE. THE NEUROLOGIST DR KIPP WAS ALSO WONDERFUL. SPENT A LONG TIME WITH ME TESTING AND EXPLAINING ALL THE OTHER TESTS I HAVE TO HAVE. BOTH THESE DRS I WOULD RECOMMEND TO EVERYONE. THEY MAKE STANFORD PROUD
The doctor that I saw was great. The only concern I had was that he was new to the team and I would have preferred to see someone more experienced.
