I picked this doctor because he offered photo dynamic therapy and I have had many instances of BCC (slowest least dangerous of SC.) I lost my previous Dr due to our president who said if I wanted to keep my Dr. I could but that didnt turn out to be true. I dont blame them, they have to make money and to be honest they are the best in town with both a derm and a plastic onsite for when you do need MOHS you arent Frankensteined. Erica and Michael Savage, if you can get them, THE BEST. Anyhow, no doc, just a PA, two biopsies which where sent to Pathology Specialists, the most expensive pathologist in town charging 3+ times as much as my prior docs preferred. 682 dollars for two biopsies vs 130 each for Ameripath. Never offered an option when one could have been given. How come you have to have a written estimate to get work on your car but not your body? One came back positive, dead smack in the middle of my right side mustache. A spot about the size of a pin head. They said MOHS, I said NO, not going to ruin my mustache for life first off, whats the alternative? They said MOHS, I explained that that would be my last option. Asked "What if the doc wanted to cut your nose off, would you just say OK or look for alternative?" Was told "Would have nose cut off". What kind of doctor says that? Needless to say they refused to treat me because I refused MOHS first. What happened to "Do no harm". Got second opinion immediately said spot so small that Aldera would have high probability of working. Nothing lost by trying. Any doctor who WONT discuss alternatives with you should have there licence revoked. How full of himself, no consideration for patient concerns. Laughably sent me a certified letter saying they no longer wanted to treat me because I objected to his treatment, as if I had Melanoma. BCC can go for years untreated with little risk. Thanks for doing me the favor now enjoy what I am good at. The internet. Hope I can save someone else the total disdain this doctor has for patients needs. Go there at your own peril, hope you leave with all your features. You know who I am, I have the letters, refute what I say. FWIW Aldera is working perfectly, imagine that and I even suggested that to him and was ignored.

Went in for a follow up appointment in Oviedo office and was told by Elana Shackleford A.R.N.P. that I should consider having a biopsy. When I asked how much it would cost me I was told because of Obama they were unable to tell me what my insurance would pay, but they wanted to give me the information so I could call the insurance company myself. This is not the service I get in any other health care office. I asked what part of the Affordable Care Act prevented them from finding out what my insurance and her assistant referred to me in the third person about how I was an Obama fan. I paid my copay and left. Three days later I received a certified letter indicating they didnt want to have me as a patient any longer. I guess they like cash customers better.

One of the best doctors I have ever been to. Saved my life with his diagnoses of skin cancer. Great bedside manner, very good doctor, he really cares. Dr Knipe takes his time and looks you over real good. His staff is amazing very skilled and knowledgeable. I enjoy going to the office for my appointments.

I had my first visit with Dr. Knipes office. I met with Nurse Blattner. I was so very happy with the level of service they provided. I didnt feel rushed and I did not have to wait in the waiting room for more than 10 minutes. I would definitely recommend their office.

Dr Knipe is one of the top Dermatologists in the Orlando area and his staff is second to none,especially Jennifer Blattner A.R.N.P. She is better versed and more qualified than 85-90% of the Drs of Dermatology in Orlando.Rest assured youll be impressed!

I have been going to Dr Knipe for over 10 years. I have had a kidney transplant so the immunosuppressants can cause skin cancers. Dr Knipe is always on time, pleasant and thorough. I feel I have a better quality of life with his help.
