I have been living in pain for almost 2 months. Dr Lipel got me in and scheduled an epidural right away. His staff of nurses and X-ray techs we’re extremely helpful, professional, and kind. Dr Lipel worked quickly when doing my epidural. I was awake for the whole procedure and the doctor administered lidocaine and it was nearly pain-free, which is incredible. He has his technique down to a science. I can’t say how much I appreciate Dr Lipel and his staff! Thank you for helping me!
