I recently had hip replacement surgery at Columbus Regional Hospital. My Orthopedic Surgeon in Clinton referred me to Dr. Lippe at Southeast Orthopedic because of skill at doing minimally invasive robotic assisted surgery, Dr Lippe has just recently moved his practice form Wilmington to Whiteville, but the decision to see him even though it meant an hour and a half drive was the best decision I ever made. The fact that he operates now out of Columbus Regional Hospital is an added bonus! It may be an older building, but the care was on par-and even better- than in some fancy modern buildings. The staff was amazing at every level of interaction. Everything from the pre-op visit to the quick discharge procedure was stellar. The nursing staff in pre-op and on the 5th floor were attentive, professional and personable. The maintenance staff was friendly and considerate, the young man who brought me breakfast was one of the nicest young men I met there! My compliments to the staff for their dedication to providing excellent care. You are very fortunate to have Dr. Lippe on staff now- and an excellent team to asist him.
