Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Simply the best
We fully believe that Dr. Kip is the reason that our son came out safely and that I didn’t end up with an infection. Had she not been on shift the morning my son was born, we truly know there would’ve been an entirely different outcome. She will be my OBGYN from here on out, and I trust her and her hands with my life and the lives of my children! In-office, she was very straightforward and no BS. If you’re not the type to respond well to that, she may not be your fave. For me, I need/needed that approach and I was thankful for it.

Did amazing c-section perfect experience
She came in and saved me from 20 hour labor with my baby’s head hitting my pubic bone and causing what she described as bone pain. She did my C-section and I was terrified but she made me so comfortable. Now my scar is almost invisible and I’m very into my appearance and looking good in bikini. I’m so happy with her and only wish I could have another baby with her as my dr.

This woman is very rude and disrespectful,I took my 17 yr old daughter to see her for the first time and my daughter is shy so when she asked what's going on I started to answer and she shshhh me and says I want to hear it from her,so my daughter tells her what's going on than she looks at me and says OK now you can talk,it took everything in me not to go off on this woman,my daughter even said I don't want to go to that doctor again

I was having perimenopause symptoms and wanted to talk to her about them. She was angry with me as soon as she walked in. I told her that I was having crazy symptoms that I wanted to talk to her about and she nastily responded “well tell me what because crazy symptoms tells me nothing!” I started telling her that I was having debilitating hot flashes and I wasn’t sleeping. She said that peri menopause doesn’t exist, that women don’t take care of themselves then we come to see her when we fall apart and want her to fix it with a pill. (I never asked for any medication of any kind) She concluded in the most condescending way possible that peri menopause does not exist, I’m having hot flashes because I consume sugar and I’m not sleeping because I’m stressed. She never asked me any questions, just made assumptions. Condescending and unprofessional.

It was my first time to meet her for installing a Mirena (IUD) Also will been last time forever. She did not do the right job for me. She cut and left the metal wires way too much outside. It was very hurtful then I have to go back to fixing by other Dr.

Dr. Kipiliongo is a cold, harsh woman. After meeting her at my 39 week appointment I hoped she would not be on shift during my delivery. She made me feel like an idiot for having concerns over how often I felt the baby moving. She has no patience or empathy. She also told me to be induced. I purposely scheduled the induction when two other doctors would be on staff. Unfortunately, somehow she was on when I delivered my baby and the whole experience was intensified by her lack of desire to make me feel comforted or even joyful that I was about to have a new baby. She was short with the nurses and rolled her eyes at all of us. The day after she came to the room to do the check up she didn’t even say congratulations. She abruptly examined me and said you can be discharged. Overall a cold woman.

After reading many positive reviews, I was very excited to meet Dr. Kipoliongo. I am 24, thinking about having a baby and just wanted some questions answered during my exam. After eagerly anticipating my appointment for over a month, I was greeted with coldness and given rude remarks when I asked my questions. She told me I should just go to a primary care doctor and ask them instead. I was so disappointed. I told her that I cannot talk to my mom or grandma about this stuff so I was just hoping to get some insight. She did not seem to care in the slightest. During my pelvic exam, she yelled at me for being tense, which only made me more tense. I forced myself to relax, but by then she already seemed extremely annoyed with me and I believe I saw her eyes roll. She asked me if "something about her presence" bothered me. And I said no. It was just the overall vibe. I cried on the car ride home. Feeling so disappointed and like all my questions I had pre-planned were dumb and pointless.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Kipoliongo?
Not nice ! She delivered my baby and made me feel like crap as I did my pushing. Kept making eye contact with the nurse and not telling me what she wanted me to do. Very cold. I wasn’t comfortable at all. Horrible bed side manner. Saw her for my follow up check up and Cold yet again. Made me feel stupid with every question I asked. I would never recommend her nor have another visit with her. She’s so mean.

Disappointed – Oct 09, 2019
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Kipoliongo?
1st time meeting her at my 38 week appointment. She was concerned about preeclampsia as my bp was 122/90. However, she did not have the nurse retake it after I had been in the room for a few minutes. She did not listen when I tried to explain I had- upon checking into the appointment been told there was an issue with my insurance. Then proceeded to project other symptoms onto me : "so you have a headache. You are having blurred vision" to which I repeatedly said no (these were not presented as questions). She continued to make me feel bullied into going to the hospital for a whole workup. Baby and I were perfectly fine and I just ended up more frustrated at the end of the day....which was also likely not good for my blood pressure. Others I know seem to like her. However, I would never recommend her and will never see her again based on this encounter.

Was seeing one of the other doctors for my whole pregnancy and ended up going a few days early and Dr Kipoliongo who I had never met before was on call at the hospital. Out of my 4 C-sections she did an amazing job... BEST post-op recovery!

Very unkind and unprofessional. I scheduled my 20 weeks pregnancy appointment with her. She yelled at me because I haven't choose a pediatrician for the new baby yet. And then she focused on her computer asking questions and didn't even bother to look at me. She didn't even ask if I have concerns or pain or how do I feel at this stage of pregnancy. A total waste of time and money. I won't recommend her.

Went to her as a new patient because I had found out I was pregnant and the gyn I was seeing didn't practice obstetrics as well so I needed someone for during the pregnancy. She walked in and was like well your pregnant what do you want me to do about it, I started to cry and she left the room and never came back.

She's a fantastic Dr.! Extremely compassionate and I was lucky to see her. She was able to help me where other doctors had failed. She didn't just write me off like the TWO obgyn's that I saw before her. (Both having told me that I was too high risk and that there was nothing they could do for me.) In addition to giving me excellent care she referred me to a specialist who was also fantastic. Without going into personal details I now have two beautiful daughters that are happy and healthy. ??

Dr. Kipoliongo cured me of an extremely painful and long time ailment that was hindering my everyday life. I went to see several doctors and none delivered the exceptional results kipoliongo did. She listens, she's trusting, and knows how to talk to patients that have very bad anxiety. She's also so an amazing job in my prenatal care! I love her!

Back in October I was in the middle of a miscarriage which I wound up needing a DNC for, when I first found out what was happening my doctor was unavailable so I made an appointment with Dr. K. Best decision I had made. I was so scared and so upset, so was my fiance. But she helped to get us both through. She took the time to explain to us what was going to happen and held my hand and calmed me down. After it was all said and done at my follow up, she even cried with me. This woman is a God send

Dr. Kipoliongo is an amazing physician. Always approachable, great listener, and very thorough with her assessments. She delivered my daughter back in 2012 and it was an experience I will never forget. It was wonderful. I'm expecting again. Unfortunately, due to health insurance, she will not be able to deliver my child @ the hospital that's in-network. But she has provided me with excellent care so far and I'm forever grateful. Thank you for CARING Dr. Kipoliongo!
