Atlanta Fibroid Center

Atlanta Fibroid Center is a healthcare facility that is focused on caring for women with uterine fibroids in the outpatient or office settings. John Lipman, MD, FSIR is the Founder & Medical Director of the Atlanta Fibroid Center. He has a very impressive background consisting firstly of his medical training at Georgetown, followed by his Radiology residency at Harvard, and lastly of his Fellowship in Vascular & Interventional Radiology at Yale before coming to Atlanta in 1991. The “FSIR” designation is one of the distinctions that only 8-10% of Interventional Radiologists ever receive in their lifetime and is one that patients seeking care from an Interventional Radiologist for their fibroids should look for. Dr. Lipman was the first physician in Georgia to perform the uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) procedure and has one of the world’s largest UFE experience. Atlanta Fibroid Center (AFC) was the first in Georgia to be recognized as a Fibroid Center of Excellence by the Boston Scientific Corporation (Marlborough, MA) and BioSphere Medical (now Merit Medical Salt Lake City, UT).
