Gregory S. Liptak

Dear Liptak family,
Seeing again the reminder of Dr. Liptak's passing is heartfelt and emotional. I had the wonderful opportunity to listen to his enormous amount of medical wisdom for several years at the National SBAA conferences. He was truely a dedicated healthcare professional who inspires me to keep the knowledge and experts together to help those with birth defects like SB. I cherish his memory today about to attend the national conference in Minnesota. He is generally missed....

Dr.Liptak started right away to take care of my high risk baby at Strong Memorial, and in the 70's he made house calls, and my son was 1 of them. This is a great loss for the children and Mums and Dads.He made us feel we can handle anything that came along with our children. Thank you very much for those trips to see my baby during snow storms at our home, I don't know any other Doctor that did that, We miss you, Rest Well, D and Family

I've been thinking about and looking for Dr Liptak for a great while now! Sadly I'm just now learning he has passed on. I was a patient of his of 25 years ago. I have been looking for him and Dr Jackman to show them how they've impacted my life and how I've grown since my surgery they have had a hand in. So sorry for the loss and he is truly missed.

My son was 1 day old and I did not have a doctor for him. Another, not so sweet, nurse had just told me " we won't let you leave Strong until you have a doctor for that baby!". A short time later Greg Liptak bounced into my room and after examining my baby, agreed to be his pediatrician. I...

My Husband and I just learned of his passing. He was our son's doctor , also he guided us through the darkness of Autism and showed us the light. He was a wonderful man and will be missed .

i just learned of Dr. Liptak's death. He was my preceptor in the Pediatric ED at Strong Memorial in 1979. I was a graduate student in nursing, getting my MS in pediatrics. Dr. Liptak's support of me and the role I was trying to create has always been a special memory of my time at the UofR. He gave me guidance and direction and has always been someone I privately thank for giving so generously of himself. He will be missed and I am certain that he touched many lives over the years, just...
