Our San Diego and Southern California Vasectomy Reversal Patients

This page, written by vas reversal authority Dr. Sheldon Marks, highlights why so many of our patients travel from from San Diego, Chula Vista, Carlsbad and Oceanside and throughout Southern California to ICVR, because of our proven and published success up to 99.5% (1) for vas-to-vas connections at our full-time, vas reversal only “Center of Excellence”.

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 our more than 7000 patients. And with world-record success at 42 years from vasectomy (now with an 19-year-old daughter who just had a baby), the number of years from vasectomy is not a major hurdle (2).

Considering what’s at stake, why settle for anything less than the very highest success?

Though there are excellent vas reversal doctors locally such as Dr. Bastuba, there is a reason why ICVR is the destination of choice for so many couples from San Diego and throughout Southern California that want the highest chances to achieve their dream of having children after vasectomy.

At ICVR, Dr. Marks and Dr. Burrows each limit their practice to only one precision vas reversal each day so that way our patients can be assured that as their sole vasectomy reversal patient, every patient will receive the doctor’s full and undivided attention to detail. The surgeon is not pressured to rush to get to the next surgery nor is he fatigued from earlier vas reversals.

Other reasons so many choose ICVR:
– Sperm banking at no additional cost, saving couples up to many thousands of dollars
– 24/7 access with the doctor’s personal cell phone numbers
No doctors-in-training involved with the vas reversal surgery or after care
– “Pain-free” mild sedation so our patients sleep comfortably without the risks of deeper general anesthesia (3). In fact, most of our patients haven’t even asked for a single Tylenol when the doctors come by the morning after surgery for the “house call”
– Dr. Marks is one of a handful of experts that actually teaches other vas reversal doctors advanced surgical techniques at international urology and fertility conferences, writes courses and a textbook (4) and actually invented an instrument used around the world (the Marks Vas Cutting Forceps).

Let us explain how our patients can expect to have the very highest chances for success with the most positive, personalized vasectomy reversal experience.

As a top international referral center, we frequently see men from throughout California and throughout the US for a redo vasectomy reversal, when their first vas reversal failed (5).

Contact us at (888) 722-2929 to arrange a no-charge phone, Zoom, Face Time, or Skype consultation with the doctors to get answers to any questions, discuss the procedure and learn how couples can become part of our family as we are “Making Men Dads AgainTM.”
