Dr. Frank Lipman received his initial medical training in South Africa and emigrated to the United States in 1984. He became Board Certified in internal medicine after serving as Chief Medical Resident in his final year of residency at Lincoln Hospital in New York City. Becoming more and more aware of both the strengths and the weaknesses of his training, he began to study acupuncture, Chinese medicine, functional medicine, nutrition, herbal medicine, biofeedback, meditation and yoga.

He began to see that the polarization between how western modalities and other healing philosophies merely negated the positive attributes of both. He saw that true healing lay in a blend between the two. He now practices his unique composite of what he calls “Good Medicine”, combining all the systems in which he has trained.

Dr Lipman has consulted high-profile patients, like Gwyneth Paltrow and Maggie Gyllenhaal and is the best-selling author of 5 books (with an additional 2 in the wings for publication at the end of 2020 and early 2021!)
