About Me

Somebody being told that they may have a lung cancer is a pretty big deal. Oftentimes they're on edge, they might not be hearing everything we’re telling them. We try to put them at ease, make sure that they know that they’re in good hands, that we have their best interest at heart.

I cannot say enough about Dr. Michael Liptay. I have high anxiety and he reassured me and calmed me down. He explained my options, the VATS surgery, and his experience in performing the surgery for many, many years and that I was in excellent care. I needed to hear what he told me.
