Dr. Christopher Lippincott, MD

I am a physician, a patient, and a patient advocate. My surgery involved three Johns Hopkins department heads - Dr. Nicholas Theodore, Dr. Christopher Lippincott, and Dr. Chad Gordon. Contrary to the accepted standard of care for hardware-associated delayed surgical site infections with exposed occipital hardware and cervical scar dehiscence - and despite the irrefutable evidence that my dehiscing cervical wound is indeed infected according to clinical history, countless photos, and the July 2022 Cervical MRI - Dr. Theodore and Dr. Gordon opened and closed my cervical spine without obtaining cultures, without debridement, and without removal of the infected cervical hardware, then they put complex, poorly vascularized grafts over the infected area. Dr. Henry Brem responded to my 20 page complaint with platitudes,, failing to address my detailed list of egregious lapses in both the accepted standard of care and medical ethics, so I have made both documents public. Patients need to know
