• I have seen two other providers in my area (western mass) and neither one discussed specific treatment options for my pain. Dr. Lipa explained why she was suggesting options and showed me the mri and scans as she was explaining.

• Dr Lipa and her team of PAs and assistants were superb. Among the best medical pros I have ever met. Their caring attention and ability to scale important facts to my capacity to process them was exceptional communication and caring skills. I'm so grateful

• Dr. Lipa was very accommodating, as my MRI's hadn't arrived. She proceeded to pull the images off the cloud, and explained what she saw, even when the images weren't too clear, but cloudy.

• The provider acknowledged that I was a return patient and referred me to a specialist who may be able to help me avoid future fractures. She assured me several times that she would advocate for me. She will see me in two months for a follow-up.

• Thank you for asking, Dr. Lipa is an outstanding professional. I enjoy my visits with her. She's kind, respectful, and has the best bedside manner. She also did a spinal fusion for me almost three years ago, and I have been doing so much better. Unfortunately, I have a little complication which has nothing to do with her, and she will be doing more surgery in July, and I'm so glad she will be my surgeon. Thank you.

• I am a new patient, picking up "midstream" on an existing condition that had been treated elsewhere. I was quite positively impressed by all aspects of my first experience at Brigham and Women's. I was also VERY impressed with dr. Lipa. She has remarkable communication skills, and immediately created an open atmosphere where I was able to articulate my concerns and ask my questions.

• Dr Lipa is the absolutely best spine surgeon out there, at least in my opinion. She gave me my life back when everyone else said they couldn't help me. Other doctors did not care about the intense crippling pain that I had been suffering with since 2019. Dr Lipa is compassionate and truly cares about her patients. I just cannot say enough good things about Dr Lipa and her staff, excellent provider and excellent staff.

  2026-04-05

• The physician, the doctor needs to communicate with the provider, the administrators, the nurses more often.

• Dr. Shaun Lipa a good listener also very knowledgeable. My rationale for seeking to schedule an appointment with Dr. Lipa, because I respect her highly. Furthermore, a valuable and trusted resource for answering questions that are discerning. Dr. Lipa as mentioned previously a good listener also very conscientious too. I have always felt she demonstrates a good heart meaning she cares about the patients concerns.

• [redacted] I drove down from Vermont for a second opinion from Dr. Lipa, and it was the best decision imaginable! I am incredibly grateful that I got an appointment so quickly and was able to end up as a patient of Dr. Lipa's. I was scheduled to go under the knife for cervical spine surgery the following day at another hospital, and Dr. Lipa unequivocally let me know that that if I held off that nothing was so imminent that I needed to have that surgery immediately.

• It was great ?

  2025-10-12

• We were very impressed with Dr Lipa's knowledge, experience and understanding of my complex spinal problems, and her suggestions of treatment. For the first time we have hope, we had seen other providers in Maine and were told there was nothing they could do for me, that I was just going to have to live with the constant agonizing pain and the continuous decline of sensation in my limbs. Dr Lipa has brought us hope and we are so grateful to her. Thank you!
