Our Anchorage and Alaskan Vasectomy Reversal Patients
This is summary, written by vas reversal authority, educator and author Dr. Sheldon Marks, highlights some of the many reasons that we see so many men from Anchorage and throughout Alaska for their vasectomy reversal. Just this past 2 weeks we had 3 patients from Alaska!
The purpose of this page is to provide accurate, up-to-date information for couples considering a vas reversal to help them make an intelligent, informed shared decision about what doctor is best for them.
Many of our thousands of patients from Anchorage, Fairbanks, Juneau, Ketchikan, Wasilla, Palmer, Kotzebue, Kenai, The North Pole and throughout Alaska choose ICVR because of our proven and published success up to 99.5% (1) at our full-time, vas reversal only “Center of Excellence” to get the highest chances to achieve the dream of having children after vasectomy.
Patients from every state in the US and more than 85 countries around the world understand that Dr. Marks and Dr. Burrows are true international experts, providing the very highest vasectomy reversal success and unsurpassed care to more than 7000 patients. And with world-record success as far out as 42 years from vasectomy, the number of years from your vasectomy is less of an issue (2).
Considering what’s at stake, why settle for anything less than the very highest chances for success?
At ICVR, Dr. Marks and Dr. Burrows both chose to limit their practice to only one vasectomy reversal each day. That way, every patient can trust that they are the only vas reversal patient that day so that they get the doctor’s full attention to detail, plus the doctor is not fatigued from earlier surgeries nor is he feeling under pressure to move fast and rush to get to the next case.
Other reasons so many from Alaska choose ICVR:
– “Pain-free“, mild sedation so our patients sleep comfortably without the risks of deeper general anesthesia (2). Most men don’t even ask for a single Tylenol afterwards
– Free sperm banking plus one year of storage, which saves couples many thousands of dollars
– No doctors-in-training participate in the vas reversal surgery or care
– We teach other vasectomy reversal doctors from around the world state-of-the-art vas reversal techniques, as well as write courses and even the textbook on vasectomy reversals (3). In fact, Dr. Marks actually invented a microsurgical instrument used around the world, the Marks Vas Cutting Forceps, shown to improve success rates.
We are available to answer any questions and find out how we can offer the very highest chances for a successful vasectomy reversal with the most personalized, precision vasectomy reversal experience.
Because we are a leading international referral center, we frequently see men from Anchorage and throughout Alaska and the world for a redo vasectomy reversal, to correctly fix a failed first vas reversal performed elsewhere (4).
Contact us at (888) 722-2929 or go to info@dadsagain.com to set up a no-charge phone, Face Time, Zoom or Skype consultation with with either of the doctors. We are eager to answer any questions, discuss the procedure and recovery so prospective patients can learn how we are “Making Men Dads AgainTM.”
