Should You Go to Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center?

Every year in the U.S. alone hundreds of thousands of women are persuaded to undergo tubal ligation surgery. The number varies depending upon the source but of those women who do this, many will decide they want to reverse the surgery. The premiere place to do so is the Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center.

Maybe the best thing about the center is that tubal reversals are the only type of surgery done there. You won’t have to withstand any efforts by the staff or doctors to near you toward having an in vitro fertilization either which is a more expensive option and possibly less effective alternative. They do tubal reversals, period. Not vasectomy reversals and not IVF. As the tubal reversal surgery is all they do, you have an extremely well versed staff. They have the experience no one else does.

The head surgeon of the Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center is Dr. Gary Berger. You will not find anyone else that has the background, education and training that he has within the tubal reversal field. As Dr. Berger performs the tubal reversal microsurgery four times a day, five days a week, no one can begin to match the number of reversed tubes he has repaired. He even trained under Dr. Winston. Check out his background on drbergertubal.com yourself and see no one can match it.

Keeping the operating room and equipment operating at peak efficiency are the surgical technicians. They make sure everything works right and all is meticulous and sterile as it should be. These surgical technicians have been with the CHTRC for years. In fact, Dr. Berger’s first assistant has been with him for 18 years. That ought to give you a good feeling that she knows what she is doing and has seen it all. That is the caliber of the surgical staff.

Not only has the first assistant surgical technologist been there long term, so has the Director of Anesthesia. She is Dr. Caryn Hertz and has worked with Dr. Berger since 1995. Before that she was at the Duke University Medical Center which just goes to show what type of qualities she has. Sure beats wondering who you would pull going into some hospital for the surgery.

Now we turn to the nursing staff. Many of them have been with the center long term as have the Director of Anesthesia and the surgical technicians. You will likely have the most contact with these ladies. Not only are they there to answer your questions, you will find they genuinely care about their patients. This is apparent if you should go to the message board at forums.tubal-reversal.net with any questions. They also write posts now and then for the blog at the center’s website. This allows you a chance to see inside the center.

I’ve talked a bit about the staff. Another thing that should be considered is the message board mentioned in the last paragraph. How many other doctors or clinics allow you, even wage you with, a means of contacting other patients? You can ask questions there and find the support you need for whatever may concern you regarding having a reversal done.

What about those follow-ups? What am I talking about? I’m talking about the fact that the staff at CHTRC will check in with you at least six times after your surgery. These include a check at six months post surgery and a final check at one year post surgery. I have never heard of a doctor or clinic that provides that kind of follow up. Have you? This is just another indication of the great staff and doctors at the Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center. You won’t find better care anywhere else.
