“Dr.pipestone went above and beyond for my husband. Les had a cold for a few weeks and dr. Pipestone was very conserned. He ordered bloodwork and a chest x-ray. He called back later that evening, after hours to give us the results to my husband. Dr. Pipestone ordered him antibiotics. He is a very perceptive caring and compassionate doctor.”
