Freedom From Fibroids Team All Around Town

The Freedom From Fibroids team has been hitting the streets all around Metro Atlanta, educating women about UFE, Uterine Fibroid Embolization. The non-surgical procedure takes 45 minutes, the patient goes home the same day with a band aid and the recovery period is about a week.

Although UFE has been available since 1995,  many women have never heard of the procedure. UFE and fibroid expert, Dr. John Lipman performed the first procedure in Georgia over 17 years ago and has performed more UFE procedures than any other interventional radiologist in the Southeast.

Women should be informed about all of their options when it comes to the treatment of fibroids. The team visited spots all around town to make sure women have the information they need to make informed decisions about their lives.

Check out the photos from our community health talk at the Atlanta Fulton County Public Library, the health fair at Atlanta City Hall, the health fair at Delta Airlines inside Hartsfield Jackson International Airport, the Atlanta Business League's members expo at the 755 Club at Turner Field and the City of Atlanta Health Fair at Hartsfield Jackson Airport. We've been busy!

Freedom From Fibroids Health Talk

Fibroid and UFE expert John Lipman, MD and his team headed South to Vienna, Georgia to present a health talk on fibroids. Over a hundred women gathered at the Vienna Church of Christ to hear Dr. Lipman speak about Uterine Fibroid Embolization, the non surgical treatment for uterine fibroids. The women attending the seminar listened closely as Dr. Lipman described how the procedure works. Many were surprised to learn the patient goes home the same day with just a band aid and they're back to work in about a week.

Lunch was served to all of those in attendance with many complimenting our catering service, Caterrific which is owned an operated by Craig Reese.
