St. Luke’s Palisades Family Practice will host an open house 10 a.m. to noon Saturday, May 20. The event will include a tour of the new facility, free blood pressure and cholesterol screenings and the opportunity to meet the practice’s new physician, Dr. Susan Lipson.
Dr. Lipson joined Drs. Kristi L. Kotz and Joseph O'Neill at Palisades Family Practice in Ottsville in March, shortly after the practice moved to its new location at 8330C Easton Rd. She graduated from Penn State University before earning her medical degree from Jefferson Medical College in 2003. She then completed her residency in 2006 at Crozer Keystone Family Practice in Delaware County.
“I love family medicine and always have,” Dr. Lipson said. “I enjoy seeing patients of all ages. This is how it has been since I started medical school. I love so many things about medicine and that’s why I chose family medicine.”
Dr. Lipson is accepting new patients. New patients can make an appointment online or by calling St. Luke’s Palisades Family Practice at 267-424-8020.
