Dr. Mark Anthony Pippenger

Wouldn't recommend, no empathy for the first appt of the day, missing the turn and calling the office to let them know at 5 minutes. Drove from concord in charlotte traffic leaving way early and still wouldn't see us pulling up right at 8:10 which would have been on time had I not missed the turn. Called at 740 and the office is closed, but the person calling to confirm days before said they open at 730, I would have turned around had I known the possibility of being a few minutes late would be a no go. It'd hard enough with thr dementia/ alz pts and someone in this field should understand that

Dr Pippenger has been my MS Memory Doctor for 2 years. He always gives me and my wife (my Carepartner) his full attention, and we have complete confidence in his diagnosis and recommendations.

Needs to be humble and open-minded. He is not, and this arrogance is dangerous! My Atrium neurologist already did an in-office visit where he diagnosed me with Hashimoto encephalopathy, copper deficiency that can make it difficult to walk, put me on copper supplement, did a cognitive test on me and found cognitive impairment, and made a referral for formal neuropsychological testing. I then saw Pippenger online for help with memory issues related to these issues and wanted to see how good he is. He is a bad neurologist. I told him that my Atrium neurologist had diagnosed me with copper deficiency and that it can cause neurological problems. Pippenger was arrogant and dismissed that. Based on an incomplete online assessment that did not include a comprehensive exam like my Atrium neurologist had done, Pippenger contradicted my Atrium neurologist and claimed my memory problem was all just in my head and that I did not need neuropsychological eval. Turns out he is wrong: I had 2 formal neuropsych evals that showed objective evidence of memory impairment. Also, research has demonstrated that copper deficiency indeed causes neurological impairments. Thus, I am being treated aggressively for copper deficiency with IV copper by a physician who is knowledgeable. When I wrote to let Pippenger know all this, he got arrogant and claimed he knew about copper deficiency. He obviously did not know enough. Had he known enough, he would not have misdiagnosed me like he did. Needs to be humble and open-minded. He is not, and this arrogance is dangerous! My Atrium neurologist already did an in-office visit where he diagnosed me with Hashimoto encephalopathy, copper deficiency that can make it difficult to walk, … More

Excellent bed side manner. Very thorough and knowledgeable.

He was very caring and kind when examining my Mom. He was very knowledge and patient with her.

Dr. P saved my mother’s mind. While my mother does suffer from dementia, she had seen a psychiatrist who had put her on many medications that made her much worse. Dr. P helped her stop taking all of the harmful medications for her memory and cognition. He recommended the correct memory medicines. I wish he would publish his work for all patients and caregivers to learn. We wish he was still in Little Rock! He seems a bit quirky but he is well worth your time for memory help. I wish he would expand his practice and knowledge to genetics and targeted care with more emphasis on evidenced based supplements.

HE IS THE SORRIEST EXCUSE FOR A DOCTOR THAT I HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED. TOLD ME THE RADIOLOGIST DIDNT KNOW WHAT HE WAS TALKING ABOUT. HE HAD MADE UP HS MIND AFTER LESS THAT 2 MINUTES OF OUR ENCOUNTER. TOLD ME THAT THE RADIIOLOGIST DIDNT KNOW WHAT HE WAS TALKING. I DO NOT RECOMMEND

My mother was referred to Dr. Pippenger. The waiting room time was maybe 20 minutes or less. He was kind and spent a great deal of time talking with her and making her feel at ease. He was not rushed and certainly not "rude". He answered all of my questions and concerns. His staff was friendly and efficient. The UAMS My Chart system makes it very easy to get a prompt response when needed. Everything about our experience was positive.

Dr. Pippenger was very pleasant, However, he can be a little over the top. He is also a little narrow minded in his treatment plan. He stated that ARICEPT was the only medication available for my parent and recommended behavioral modification, as sedatives and anti-psychotics "cause death". Research shows that there are other meds on the market and that sedatives and anti-psychotics are routinely used by neurologist to improve their quality of life.. Looking for alternative neurologist.

Our family met Dr. Pippenger about 3 years ago for my mother. He is always very patient with her. He listened to all of our concerns. Very detailed in her treatment and progress. Yes, you might have to wait to see him but he is took his time with her and never rushes through the exam. He has been wonderful with her and we all LOVE Dr. Pippenger! Morgan Family

Dr. Pippinger was a waste of time in several different ways. 1. From a medical standpoint, I found Dr. Pippinger to be was than impressive to say the least. He seemed more interested in keeping my dad's business and remaining friendly, than delivering hard messages. 2. From a professional perspective, my father drove 3 hours to see this man and every time without failed waited anywhere from 1-4 hours in the waiting room before the doctor arrived. The man is a joke of a medical professional.

He took care of my dad he was always kind and listened to our concerns He would always spend a lot of time evaluating dad and documenting his decline. He was never in a hurry. Dr Pippenger diagnosed him wit PSP, progressive Supranuclear Palsy. I would highly recommend him

Dr. Pippenger spent time talking to my mom, myself and my sister. He wanted to know all about my mom. I like that he didn't shove meds at us right away. Instead, he gave mom physical exercise to do 3-4x a week. Dr. Pippenger makes you feel comfortable and relaxed by telling you about himself and his family. He's a very interesting man. Wait time to get in for an appointment is long, but I've been pleased so far.

I had my husband to five different doctors wasting at least 3 years of our time together before coming to Dr Pippenger. He took time with my husband, explained everything to us & I would highly reccomend him. He always answered my questions in office as well as if I contacted him through the UAMS Portal. He knows his stuff & never stops trying to learn more keeps up with studies in the field. My husband died one month ago from heart disease but everything Dr Pippenger told us was right on.

Rude and condescending. Seemed to be showing off for his interns instead of caring about the patient and questions about his diagnosis. Would not recommend this doctor.

It is extremely hard to get a hold of the staff and, and feedback on time sensitive matters. I/ve waited weeks for a simple answer.
