The evening was filled with joy, humor, historical facts, entertainment, roasts and toasts by fellow Scarsdale Medical Group partners, including a humorous slideshow presented by Dr. Paul Pechman, on some of history’s prominent personalities  who have donned bow-ties - Dr. Lipman’s signature look.  Another partner, Dr. Kenneth Croen, informed the gathering that over the 50 years, Dr. Lipman had seen 250,000 patients and written a million prescriptions.  The roasts were followed by a musical tribute, with songs written and performed by Naomi Lipman, Dr. Lipman’s wife of 60 years, and his son, Barry Lipman.  Executive Director of the practice, Maria Trusa, remarked, “Scarsdale Medical Group is extremely proud to honor Dr. Lipman for his 50 years of dedicated service. Over the years, he has remained a staunch advocate of patients’ rights and has always put the well-being of patients first and foremost.  He is well loved by patients, colleagues, staff, and the community alike, and we all look forward to many more years of service from him.”
