Florida’s ICVR Vasectomy Reversal Patients

This review, by Dr. Sheldon Marks, the author of a textbook on vasectomy reversals (1), highlights why many of our more than 7000 vas reversal patients travel to ICVR from Miami, Jacksonville, Tampa, Orlando, St. Petersburg and throughout Florida for our high success up to 99.5% for vas-to-vas connections (2) as well as personalized care before, during and after at our full-time, vas reversal only center. After all, isn’t it really all about the magic that happens after a successful vasectomy reversal?

Vas reversals are all we do!

Of course, there are some excellent, skilled and highly respected doctors in Florida such as Dr. Ranjith Ramasamy or Dr. Sijo Parekattil. I often refer men to these wonderful doctors. If anyone had their vas reversal by either of these world-class doctors, they would receive excellent results.

Even with this, we have many patients that do their research and choose to come to see Dr. Marks and Dr. Burrows. In fact, we have patients as far out as 42 years from vasectomy, now with an adult daughter who just had a daughter of her own (3) and from every state in the US and more than 85 countries around the world.

Here at ICVR, each doctor will perform only one vas reversal a day so that each patients knows that he is getting the doctor’s full focus and attention to detail, and that he is not fatigued from earlier vasectomy reversals nor pressured to move fast to get to surgeries to follow. We even specialize in performing redo vasectomy reversals when the first vas reversal elsewhere fails (4).

Why should any prospective patient consider coming from Florida to ICVR? Here are a few reasons:

-Each surgeon performs the entire vasectomy reversal – we do not allow any doctors-in-training to be involved in the surgery or care.

–No general anesthesia is used and so our patients avoid all of the rare but serious risks (5). Instead, we use mild conscious sedation to keep our patients sleeping comfortably and pain-free. Most of our patients don’t even ask for a single Tylenol afterwards.

-We provide sperm banking at no additional cost, saving couples up to many thousands, just in case.

-Every patient is guaranteed a fixed, all-inclusive, no surprise up front price whether we perform a vas-to-vas or the more challenging vas-to-epididymal bypass.

There are no hidden fees or surprise bills at ICVR.

We encourage couples to take the time and ask the tough questions to help them decide which doctors will give each person the very highest vasectomy reversal success rates.

With so much at stake, why settle for anything less than the highest chances for success, the first time?

Call (888) 722-2929 to answer any questions and when ready, set up a no-charge phone, Zoom, Skype or Face Time consultation with one of our two microsurgeons.
