Eugene Lipov, MD, an Anesthesiologist with The Stella Center

Oct 27, 2023


Get to know Anesthesiologist Dr. Eugene Lipov, who served patients in Illinois.


New York City, New York Oct 26, 2023 (Issuewire.com) - Dr. Lipov is a board-certified anesthesiologist and pain physician, renowned as a trailblazer in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) treatment. He serves as the Chief Medical Officer at The Stella Center, a medical advisor for Erase PTSD Now, and as the Medical Director at Advanced Pain Centers, S.C. 

His advocacy extends to championing PTSI as a replacement for the clinical diagnosis of PTSD. Alongside his accomplished medical career, he is an accomplished author and an engaging public speaker.

Truly, a pioneer in stellate ganglion treatment for symptoms of PTSD, Dr. Lipov knows first-hand that trauma can be all-consuming. Growing up with a veteran father stricken with PTSD, and a mother with debilitating depression who eventually took her own life, he truly understands the impact that trauma can have on the lives of many. He has made it his mission to help others relieve their traumatic suffering from PTSD and restore hope to their spirit.

In 2006, Dr. Lipov pioneered the use of Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB) for the treatment of PTSD -- a procedure that was initially approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the 1950s for the treatment of certain types of pain and circulation disorders. It is performed with an injection of medication into a collection of nerves at the bottom of the front side of the neck. It is most commonly known as a pain-relieving treatment, used to relieve hot flashes for menopause and cancer patients and treating shingles -- and, now, to alleviate symptoms related to PTSD.

After momentum slowly gained and as clinical trials of SGB to treat PTSD ensued, Dr. Lipov discovered that two injections on one side of the neck into the stellate ganglion had the potential of yielding even better relief to folks suffering from PTSD. Today, his treatment protocol is known as Dual Sympathetic Reset (DSR).

Widely recognized for his expertise in PTSD treatment, Dr. Lipov provided testimony on the subject before the U.S. House Committee on Veterans' Affairs in 2010. Through collaborative efforts with neuroscientists, he has become the foremost authority on the physiological aspects of PTSD on a global scale. His extensive research on PTSD has been published in respected journals, including Biological Psychiatry, Current Psychiatry, Military Medicine, Pain Research & Treatment, Psychiatric Annals, the Journal of Anesthesia & Clinical Research, the Journal of Trauma and Treatment, the Lancet, and the World Institute of Pain.

Furthermore, his groundbreaking work has garnered attention in prominent media outlets such as the Wall Street Journal, the Los Angeles Times, the Chicago Tribune, USA Today, Wired, Playboy, Univision, Stars & Stripes, and has been featured on ABC, NBC, and WGN.

His educational and professional journey began with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Biochemistry from Northwestern University in the class of 1980, where he was recognized as a Phi Beta Kappa scholar. Following this, Dr. Lipov pursued his Medical Degree at the Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University, graduating in the class of 1984.

His early medical career saw him undertake a surgical residency from 1984 to 1986, which took place at the University of Illinois, Cook County Hospital, and the West Side VA in Chicago, Illinois. Dr. Lipov then moved on to a residency in anesthesiology from 1987 to 1989, furthering his training at the University of Illinois and West Side VA.

His journey continued with a specialization in pain medicine training in Chicago. He culminated his training with advanced training in anesthesia and pain from 1989 to 1990 at Rush University Medical Center, also in Chicago.

Subsequent to his education, the doctor attained board certification in both anesthesiology and pain medicine through the American Board of Anesthesiology (ABA). The ABA sets standards and exams for the accreditation of board-certified anesthesiologists coming to the end of their residency. It is one of the 24 medical specialty boards that constitutes the American Board of Medical Specialties.

Among his professional affiliations, Dr. Lipov is an active member of the American Society of Interventional Pain Physicians (a founding member and the first president of The Illinois Chapter), the American Society of Anesthesiology, the Spine Injection Society, and the North American Spine Society.

Anesthesiology is the medical specialty concerned with the total perioperative care of patients before, during, and after surgery. It encompasses anesthesia, intensive care medicine, critical emergency medicine, and pain medicine. Anesthesiologists have the primary responsibility of monitoring the patient's vital signs during surgery. In addition to basic measurements such as pulse, blood pressure, and temperature, they measure the patient's respiration.

In his latest publication, "The Invisible Machine: The Startling Truth About Trauma and the Scientific Breakthrough That Can Transform Your Life", released on April 11, 2023, Dr. Lipov collaborates with other eminent experts to present a fresh perspective on post-traumatic stress. Their work introduces a safe and effective treatment that holds significant promise for the fields of medicine, mental health, and society as a whole.

Residing in Chicago, Dr. Lipov shares his home with his wife, Robin, and their son, Sam. During his leisure hours, he relishes the companionship of his poodle, Gomez. His pastimes include immersing himself in the realms of fantasy and military science fiction literature, as well as engaging in competitive Rummikub games.

Avaricio digs deep, edges Lee by 1 at South Pacific

DAVAO CITY – Chanelle Avaricio silenced a crowded title chase with an early eagle, then leaned on her precision, patience and steely resolve to thwart Tiffany Lee’s blistering backside charge and capture the ICTSI South Pacific Classic by one here on Thursday. In sweltering conditions at the South Pacific Golf Club, Avaricio delivered a closing three-under 69 for an eight-under 209 total, capping a gutsy performance in a fiercely contested 54-hole championship that demanded as much mental toughness as shot-making brilliance. What appeared headed for a runaway victory quickly turned into a nerve-wracking battle down the stretch, as Avaricio’s early four-shot cushion evaporated under the combined weight of a costly miscue and Lee’s relentless charge. The two traded blows in a gripping finish that once again underscored the Ladies Philippine Golf Tour’s penchant for last-hole drama. Both appeared to wilt under the mounting pressure. They each missed the green on the closing par-5 18th and settled for bogeys, allowing Avaricio to clinch a one-stroke victory worth P142,250. Lee misjudged her pitch, sending the ball past the cup, then failed to get up and down from 12 feet. That effectively eased the pressure on Avaricio, who also missed her par putt from 8 feet. After winning by two strokes over Yvon Bisera at Pueblo de Oro last week, Lee settled for runner-up honors with a 70 for a 210 total worth P102,500. The setback did little to diminish her growing reputation, instead reaffirming her status as one of the players to watch on tour. “I really played well at the front – one eagle and three birdies. But at the back, I didn't make any birdies and instead bogeyed two of the par-5s. Overall, though, I think I played well,” said Avaricio, who had trouble recovering from the bunker on her first bogey and then missed the green on the final hole, leaving her pitch shot short before missing the putt. Despite seeing her lead dwindle as Lee mounted a late challenge, Avaricio kept her composure to secure the victory. While the pressure was evident, she refused to let it dictate her game. “I won't say threatened, but, of course, a part of me wanted to win. Medyo nag-worry and pressured na din kasi I was nine-under after the front nine, and I think I was up by four. And then Lee birdied No. 12, which I bogeyed. Of course, I would feel a little worried, but I had to keep myself composed, so I tried to stay in the moment and told myself, ‘Whatever happens, you're doing your best,’” she said. While the finish may not have been as smooth as she had hoped, Avaricio did enough to emerge victorious once more, adding another milestone to an already impressive season. The latest triumph, which came after ruling Pinewoods and Summit Point legs, marked the 10th victory of her career, a feat she welcomed with gratitude rather than comparisons to her previous wins. “I'm really grateful and happy for this win,” Avaricio said, choosing to savor the moment instead of weighing the significance of this victory against the others. With the Apo Classic set to take center stage next week, Avaricio is already looking ahead to another opportunity to extend her winning run and claim the 11th victory of her career. Harmie Constantino rallied with a 68 to claim third place at 212, while Bisera failed to mount a final-round charge on her home course, settling for a 72 and fourth place at 213. Rev Alcantara followed in fifth with a 215 after carding a 74. Daniella Uy, whose fiery backside charge of 31 in the second round powered her to a 67 and forced a three-way tie at the top with Avaricio and Lee, could not recover from a shaky front nine of 39. She wound up with a 76 to slip into a tie for sixth at 216 with Chihiro Ikeda, who carded a 70. Avaricio looked firmly in control after blazing through the front nine in 31, highlighted by an eagle on No. 2 and birdies on Nos. 4, 7 and 9. But the momentum shifted when she bogeyed the par-5 12th, opening the door for Lee, who found her range at precisely the right time. Lee caught fire with three birdies in a five-hole stretch from No. 12, transforming what had looked like a comfortable Avaricio cruise into a tense duel where every shot carried the weight of the championship. With her lead under siege, Avaricio refused to blink. She steadied her game, matched Lee’s par-bogey finish and denied her pursuer the opening she needed to force a playoff. The closing stretch became a test of nerve rather than a birdie barrage, and Avaricio passed with just enough to spare, sealing a one-shot triumph after seeing her once-commanding advantage reduced to the slimmest of margins. It was a victory forged in two contrasting halves: an explosive front nine that put her in the driver’s seat, and a composed finish that kept Lee at bay when the pressure peaked.

Mondilla fires 64 to storm ahead, eyes redemption 

DAVAO CITY, Philippines – Clyde Mondilla is back where he has been so many times before – on top of the leaderboard, within reach of another Philippine Golf Tour title and in control of his own destiny. This time, however, the seasoned, multi-titled campaigner is determined to change the ending. Riding a blistering start and a relentless birdie spree, Mondilla fired an eight-under 64 under preferred lies to storm from four shots down into the outright lead after the third round of the ICTSI South Pacific Classic on Thursday, putting himself in prime position to end a title drought that has lingered since 2024. “I’ve been working on my iron and wedge play this week, making a few adjustments to fix the mistakes I made at Pueblo," said Mondilla in Filipino, one of the winningest players on the PGT whose last victory came two years ago at Caliraya Springs, when he defeated Angelo Que by three strokes. The Bukidnon ace opened with four straight birdies, erased his deficit to catch halfway leader Lee Song at 13-under, then sustained the charge over the remaining holes to seize the solo lead at 16-under 200. It was a stirring reminder of Mondilla’s ability to take control of a tournament when his game clicks. But it also brought back memories of what happened just days ago at Pueblo de Oro – when a spectacular third-round surge put him in command, only for a disastrous final-day 73 to send him tumbling to fourth. This time, Mondilla is hoping the lessons of that painful finish will make all the difference. Standing in his way is Song, who has been knocking on the door of a breakthrough since topping the PGT Qualifying School in 2023. The Korean, who surged into the lead with rounds of 67 and 65, remained firmly in contention despite Mondilla’s spectacular charge, carding a 69 for a 201. “Itwasagoodround,althoughImadealotofmistakes.Still,Imanagedtosaveparonafewholes,”saidSong. AshepreparesforhisfirstseriousbidforaPGTtitle,Songvowedtosticktohisgameplan. “It’sthesamemindset.I’lljustplayforpar,hitthefairwaysandgreens,andtake advantage ofanybirdieopportunitiesthatcomemyway,”headded. Sean Ramos, who joined the crowded leaderboard with a 66 in the second round, remained in the hunt at 203, also after a 69. He recovered from an opening bogey with three birdies over the next six holes but could not sustain the momentum, finishing with a string of pars before birdying the 17th to stay in solo third. Gab Manotoc, meanwhile, saw his bid for a maiden PGT breakthrough lose ground after a 73. Following rounds of 66 and 67, the bogey-free brilliance that had fueled his early charge gave way to a tougher day. After a frontside 35, he faltered with bogeys on Nos. 12, 14 and 15 before bouncing back with a birdie the 16th for the third straight day. He dropped to fourth at 206. “Putter was cold today and the three bogeys came from mental errors. I have to clean that up and try to post a number tomorrow,” said Manotoc. Mondilla’s recent run has been a study in promise and frustration. After spending time away from the Tour to attend to farm work in Bukidnon, Mondilla returned to competitive action in Negros Occidental last month, tying for eighth before placing fourth in Iloilo. He then contended for the title at Pueblo de Oro, only to see his bid unravel in the final round. Rather than dwell on the missed opportunities, Mondilla has focused on making the adjustments needed to finish the job. “My confidence is back, so hopefully, I can get the win,” he said. The adjustment appears to be paying dividends. Mondilla hit all fairways and his early precision, with several approaches settling inside eight feet, helped fuel his opening blitz and erase the four-shot deficit in a hurry. He piled up 10 birdies in a round that showcased the scoring touch that once made him one of the Tour’s most formidable players. Even two costly three-putts, on Nos. 13 and 16, could not derail his charge. The latter proved particularly frustrating. After unleashing a 380-yard drive on the par-4 16th, Mondilla had just 80 yards left to the pin but came up short with his approach, then needed three putts from 20 yards to end with a bogey. Still, he closed with authority, birdying the last two holes to move ahead of Song and take the lead on his own. With 18 holes left, Mondilla is not planning an elaborate tactical overhaul. His approach is simpler: trust the changes he has made, stay committed to the process and let his game dictate the outcome. “I won’t put pressure on myself. I’ll just enjoy and try to shoot low,” said Mondilla. He believes he is also rediscovering the form that carried him to the PGT Order of Merit crown in 2017, when he captured three titles in a dominant season. “I feel good after a long break while doing farm work in Bukidnon,” he said. Now comes the test that has eluded him in recent weeks – turning a strong position into a championship. Meanwhile, Song collected three birdies over his first 10 holes and recovered from a bogey on No. 11 with a birdie on the 15th to stay level with Mondilla at 15-under. But playing in the group behind, he could not match the Filipino’s closing push, settling for a three-under card and trailing Mondilla by one. Russell Bautista and Angelo Que matched 68s to share fifth spot at 207, while Dino Villanueva pooled a 209 after a 69, and Ira Alido surged with a flawless 66 to join Elee Bisera, Eric Gallardo and Keanu Jahns in a tie for eighth at 210. Bisera, Gallardo and Jahns carded 67, 70 and 71, respectively. With only 18 holes remaining in the P2.5-million championship, the stage is set for another tense finish in the penultimate leg of the 10-stage circuit organized by Pilipinas Golf Tournaments, Inc. Song has the experience of leading from the front, Ramos remains close enough to capitalize, and a crowded chasing pack is waiting for any opening. But the biggest storyline belongs to Mondilla. He has produced the charge, made the adjustments and put himself back in a familiar winning position. Now, after watching a promising week slip away at Pueblo de Oro, he has one final hurdle to clear. For Mondilla, the challenge is no longer simply to mount another surge. It is to make sure that, this time, the final chapter tells a different story. TMT
