Dr. Ivey Lipman grew up in Old Bridge, New Jersey with a strong desire to become a dentist since she was 3 years old. Spending time in the dental chair herself along with volunteering throughout high school at her dentist’s office only validated that this profession was the right one for her. Dr. Lipman received a scholarship for academic achievement to the University of Miami in Coral Gables, FL,
where she obtained her B.S. Following four years in Florida she headed north to attend Boston University’s Goldman School of Dental Medicine, eventually graduating Magna Cum Laude. Following graduation, it was important for Dr. Lipman to further her dental education and improve her clinical skills to excel in her profession. To accomplish her goals, she completed a 1 year general practice residency at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx, treating and managing patients with various medical concerns in a hospital environment. At Montefiore she treatment planned and executed complex cases while treating patients with complicated and extensive medical histories, giving her a well-rounded residency experience. She also firmly believes that dental education does not stop after the completion of residency. It is important for her to learn and grow as a practitioner through continuing education courses as new dental research expands and improves the technology available, dental materials, and the overall way dentistry is being practiced. Dr. Lipman’s most important goal is to educate her patients and emphasize preventative treatment in order for her patients to avoid past dental problems from recurring. It is important for her that her patients are happy, comfortable, and understand every reason why they are receiving their treatment, as well as how they can prevent future dental issues. Dr. Lipman fell in love with Manhattan as a child and the love affair has continued now that she resides here. She enjoys playing with her dog Iggy in the park, practicing yoga, cooking, reading, and exploring everything wonderful that NYC has to offer.
