UFE Success Stories

Quotes
I had the UFE procedure in February 2024 and followed up with an MRI scan in May 2025. Scans show significant improvement (reduction). My periods are shorter, lighter, and I no longer experience clots. The pain during my cycle is minimal, so I don’t even need over-the-counter pain medication anymore. I’m very grateful to Dr. Lipman for this incredible improvement. Before the procedure, he took the time to answer all of my questions. I found him to be patient and personable. Thank you!
Quotes
My second opinion suggested UFE – best decision ever! I no longer have to plan my life around my cycle! The process was explained thoroughly. I had a smooth procedure and even smoother recovery. The office called to check on me 3 days post surgery. Now after my follow up examination, my fibroids has decreased by 62% and more shrinkage to occur over the coming months. I would recommend Atlanta Fibroids Center and the staff to anyone! Thank you for giving me a better quality life!
Quotes
A special thanks to Dr. Lipman & his staff for taking really great care of me. Dr. Lipman took the time to answer all my questions. The whole process went smoothly and I am happy to say that I am feeling 100% better after the UFE procedure. I am grateful to have come across UFE & Dr. Lipman as I was not a candidate for any other surgery due to really low iron & blood levels. I can’t thank Dr. Lipman and his team enough for what they do to help women who are suffering from fibroids. Thank you again Dr. Lipman!
Quotes
Thanks to Dr. Lipman and his team I no longer have the pain associated with fibroids. I still can’t believe that I no longer need Motrin or Tylenol from monthly cycles. My cycle is the lightest it has ever been in my life. The procedure was quick and the recovery time was very quick as well. This was the best decision I could have made for my female health. I am so grateful.
Quotes
I went from being told I needed an urgent vertical hysterectomy to getting a second opinion with Dr Lipman, who explained UFE as an option. I am so glad I followed my spirit and got a second opinion. I went from looking at a major surgery to an outpatient minimal invasive medical procedure. I would like to thank Dr Lipman and his entire medical and admin team. They were so organized, professional and pleasant!! It hasn’t been a week yet and I am back to normal. I am so grateful- thank you God!
Quotes
I have been suffering with fibroids for years and didn’t know until I had an ultrasound. I was always tired and had frequent urination so I decided to research to see if anything can be done to get rid of my fibroids. The UFE procedure came up and a friend of mine said she knew someone that had the procedure done with Dr. John C. Lipman. I had the UFE procedure in March, 2022 and just had a follow up with him and all of my fibroids are dead. I fell so much better. Thanks Dr. Lipman
Quotes
My experience on this morning was a 10/10! The staff were very attentive, every step was communicated thoroughly, and Dr. Lipman was very informative and assuring. My OB/GYN recommended him and after researching, I knew that I had found a way to seek relief from a 9 year nightmare! Praying that the UAE and UFE will provide the solution that the uterine myomectomy did not resolve.
