Dr. Lipke figured out what was wrong with my lungs almost immediately, and set me on a path to getting better. Before I saw Dr. Lipke I was teaching, but had to retire early because I was coughing literally every hour of the day. I couldn't teach. I couldn't go out In public. Once I retired I laid on my couch coughing so much and so hard that I was beginning to think this was how my life would be permanently. After all, at that time I had been coughing for 2.5 years! Dr. Lipke diagnosed me with bronchiectasis, and set me up with devices and some meds to be able to live my life. My cough Is still here, about once or twice an hour, but compared to my preLipke life, that's just fine with me.

Dr. Lipke is an extraordinarily capable and thorough physician. Her thoughtful and truly caring approach is an example for all medical personnel. She is the best Dr. I have ever had and an excellent representation of Swedish's quality of care. I've been more hopeful working with her than I have been since I got sick. If there is a problem outside of the focus of our initial diagnosis, she listens and her and her staff assist in getting me the best provider's to address that ancillary concern. Everyone we've interacted with is of an excellent quality of care and they universally share our thoughts on the outstanding abilities and care given by Dr. Lipke

Dr. Lipke is the most holistic specialist I have ever worked with. She not only studies rest results for tests she has ordered, but looks at all tests in my file, and then puts that information in context of my total care. She referred me to another specialist and has taken the time to look at my total health, not just my asthma. She has brought me to a place of improvement that wouldn't have been possible without that approach. She doesn't give up when she or I have unanswered questions. She is exceptional!

In my opinion, Dr Lipke is the finest, most qualified, good bedside manner Dr I have ever had and she has been on top of my pretty serious condition from day one. She never rushes, is tolerant and kind but also a pro explaining all I ask. She is also IMO the finest Dr at Swedish and I am devastated she is leaving but I want her to be happy and I wish all of God's best blessings for her in whatever she moves on to. I didn't get the letter about her leaving - is it possible to have a copy sent to me?

Dr. Lipke is simply the best doctor I have ever worked with. She has been my pulmonary doctor since 2013, when I started having Serious lung issues. She diligently worked to provide excellent care and tirelessly researched to diagnosis my problem. She told me she spoke with the doctor she recommends I should see going forward. Knowing a bit about her, I realize, family comes first and I wish her all the best. Swedish is lucky to have her!

Dr Lipke has been a champion for my health. As a person dealing with post Covid health issues, she is always working to get to the root of my poor health to see me live a better life. I appreciate her immensely as she has not given up on me as so many other specialists have, since Long Covid is a challenging illness to treat. She always treats me with respect and kindness which helps a lot when a patient is not well.

This was my first appt with Dr Anne Butler Lipke for sarcoidosis which is an existing condition. Both my husband and I were extremely impressed with her professionalism, knowledge, thoroughness, compassion and wanting to truly help and not just put me on prednisone. I've been to several pulmonologist over the last decade, and by far Dr. Lipke stood out as top notch.
