Baptist Health Memory Clinic-North Little Rock recently welcomed Mark Pippenger, MD, a Jonesboro native with nearly three decades of experience in medicine. He specializes in behavioral neurology.
Pippenger received a medical education from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS), where he also completed residency training in neurology. He later completed a fellowship in behavioral neurology and dementia at the University of California, Los Angeles.
“I try to pay attention to a patient's particular concerns, and I feel it's very important to explain to patients and their families why a certain diagnosis is made, and why particular treatments are chosen,” said Pippenger. “It's equally important to educate people about the diseases I work with. I try to avoid doing unnecessary testing or giving medicines that aren't likely to be helpful and hope to focus on improving quality of life as much as possible.”
Pippenger is also an adjunct associate professor of neurology at UAMS. He is board-certified by the National Board of Physicians and Surgeons (NBPAS).
Baptist Health Memory Clinic-North Little Rock is located at 3201 Springhill Drive, Suite 100A, in North Little Rock.
