Is There a Vasectomy Reversal Doctor Near Me?

“Is there a vasectomy reversal doctor nearby?” is a common question we hear as couples try to decide which vas reversal doctor is right for them. If every doctor’s care, results and vasectomy reversal success rates were all the same, then the convenience of having a doctor just down the street or nearby in town would make sense. But for most couples throughout the US and around the world, usually there is not a true, top rated vas reversal surgeon nearby. This is why more than 7000 couples have done their research and chose to come here to ICVR for their precision, customized microsurgical vasectomy reversal.

This review, by vas reversal authority Dr. Sheldon Marks, addresses many of the thoughts, misunderstandings and consequences when patients use convenience of a nearby vas reversal doctor as a primary reason to select a reverse vasectomy surgeon.

The key concept is all factors being “equal.” When it comes down to the bottom line, isn’t it all about results? The goal is not the reverse vasectomy, which is simply the tool used to achieve the goal of restoring the man’s fertility. The end point is what the doctors do to give each and every patient the highest vas reversal success rate. After all, every couple chooses to have a microsurgical vasectomy reversal to restore fertility so that they can have a baby together after a vasectomy.

“For all of us at ICVR, we are all about the results of what we do – to give each couple the dream of having children together. The vas reversal is just the beginning of a long relationship to help every patient reach the goal of having a child.” Sheldon HF Marks, MD

It is wise to seek out one of the many highly skilled and experienced doctors with the fine-tuned and perfected microsurgical skills that achieve world-class success rates up to 99.5% for a vas-to-vas connection, the success that we published and offer here at ICVR (1).

These top-tier, respected vas reversal doctors have the knowledge, skills and wisdom that comes with decades of a urology residency, additional fellowship training and a focused urologic practice. These urologists realize that it’s not just about the the vas reversal but it’s also the close and regular aftercare that is just as critical to each patient’s success.

Outcomes and care vary widely from doctor to doctor.
As with any technically challenging surgery, experts know that not all doctors achieve the same results. All vas reversal doctors are not all equal and do not offer the same success and attentive aftercare. As with any skill, whether an NFL quarterback or fighter jet pilot, some people will naturally be better than others (2).

For more than 35+ years, men and women have done their research, considered all options and have decided that coming to ICVR is definitely worth the mild inconvenience of not having a vasectomy reversal doctor nearby. The doctors here, after all, teach other doctors from around the world how to perform vas reversals, teach the specialty courses and even wrote the ONLY textbook for other reversal doctors (3).

Around the World.
Men have traveled from every state in the US and from more than 85 countries, often more than 24 hours and from as far away as China, the Philippines, South Korea, Australia, South Africa, Kenya, Morocco, Brazil, the U.K., Germany, Saudi Arabia, France, Denmark, India, Norway, Kazakhstan, and Russia to have their vasectomy reversal performed by Dr. Sheldon Marks and Dr. Peter Burrows.

Many men do their research and come to ICVR for a redo vasectomy reversal after a unsuccessful first vas reversal elsewhere.

When investing in each family’s future, we think that most will agree that this is not the time to worry about the quickly forgotten inconvenience of travel to find a vas reversal doctor nearby. Like many thousands of patients, most will realize that ICVR is a smart, logical destination for a vasectomy reversal to achieve the dream of having children together, whether each person lives just down the street or thousands of miles away on another continent.
