Eugene G. Lipov (born 1958) is a physician researcher and board-certified anesthesiologist who specializes in intervention-based pain management in the Chicago area.[1] He is best known for his treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) using a technique called stellate ganglion block (SGB).[2][3]
Born in the Ukrainian SSR, Lipov and his family emigrated to the United States in 1973.[1] Once settled in Chicago, his father Gregory,[4] a cardiovascular surgeon, and his mother Mary,[4] an endocrinologist, were among the first group of physicians to take care of local Russian émigrés.[1] Both Lipov and his older brother Sergei[5] went on to have careers in medicine as adults.
Education
A Frances W. Parker School (Chicago) graduate, Lipov received his bachelor's in biochemistry from Northwestern University in 1980. A medical degree from Feinberg School of Medicine followed in 1984, and Lipov moved to Cook County Hospital/University of Illinois for a surgical residency. He spent two years in an anesthesiology residency at the University of Illinois before completing his training at Rush St Luke's with advanced training in pain management.[6]
