Sheryl L. Lipnick, DO – Associate
Dr. Lipnick received her BS in Bioengineering from the University of California, San Diego. She received her DO from Western University of Health Sciences in Pomona California and has recently completed her residency at the Cleveland Clinic and at Midwestern University in Downers Grove, IL. "There is no greater satisfaction than improving an individual's quality of life, said Dr. Lipnick. "This means helping a high school student recover from a bad ankle sprain or repairing a recreational athlete's meniscal tear. My undergraduate engineering experiences have helped me to focus on the quantitative aspects of clinical issues while my strong family influences and life experiences help me focus on the emotional and humanistic aspects. It is this combination that draws me to the treatment of musculoskeletal disease and specifically, the surgical care of these often debilitating processes.
