Vasectomy Reversals on Men from Chicago and Throughout Illinois
This is a brief review, written by Sheldon H.F.Marks, MD, about why so many couples from Chicago and throughout Illinois choose to travel to our center for their vasectomy reversal.
We often see couples from Chicago, Peoria, Springfield and throughout Illinois here at ICVR because we can achieve a high success ratefor our patients, as high as 99.5% for vas-to-vas connections (1) and as far out as 45 years from vasectomy, the world’s record (2).
We are able to achieve this high success rat3 because we are a full time, vas reversal only Center with patients Monday through Friday who travel here from every state in the US and more than 82 countries around the world.
Vasectomy reversals are all we do!
“We are honored to care for so many men to provide the highest quality “old world personal style” vas reversal care with what many patients often tell us is the best, most attentive medical experience that they have ever had!”
We provide to every patient:
– The most advanced multi-layer (3 to 4 layer) microsurgical connection and even the more challenging epididymal bypasses, when needed, at no additional charge
– “Pain-free” surgical experience and recovery with mild IV sedation and no general anesthesia that can have rare but serious risks (3). When the doctors come by the hotel the morning after the vas reversal for the “house call,” it is rare to hear that a patient requested even a single Tylenol
– Sperm banking and the first year of storage at no additional charge, often saving couples up to thousands of dollars
– No doctors-in-training participate in the vas reversal surgery or aftercare
With 2 micro-surgeons (Dr. Sheldon Marks and Dr. Peter Burrows) and more than 7000 vas reversals, our doctors are true experts.
Of course, as one would expect in Chicago, there are excellent, world-class doctors locally in Chicago, such as Dr. Craig Niederberger and Dr. Bob Brannigan, who our doctors know and highly respect. If anyone has a vas reversal by one of these or other top experts they will, most certainly, receive an excellent vasectomy reversal.
When you consider that we offer an all-inclusive, fixed, no surprise package price that can be a fraction of what many would pay to stay locally, many from Chicago and throughout Illinois choose to travel to ICVR for their vas reversal.
There is a difference. Because it makes a difference.
Plus, Dr. Marks recently published a textbook on vasectomy reversals (4).
We encourage anyone with questions to call around locally and then to call (888) 722-2929 or contact us at info@dadsagain.com and discover what makes ICVR a logical option to consider for a vasectomy reversal for men from Chicago and throughout Illinois. It is wise to ask the questions and gather all the facts so that each couple can make an intelligent, informed shared decision about the option that is best for them.
