Very disappointed that no one followed up with me after my surgery. I was assured that there would be a follow-up call and every other outpatient surgery that I've had in the past 3 years there has always been a follow-up call the same day. I really can't comment as to the success of this surgery until there has been some time to heal. I think Dr lipham has a good reputation, but right now not feeling very good about the practice.
