Our San Jose, Santa Cruz, Silicon Valley and Santa Barbara, California Vasectomy Reversal Patients

This page, by vasectomy reversal authority and author Dr. Sheldon Marks, highlights why so many men from San Jose, Santa Cruz, Silicone Valley and Santa Barbara and throughout Central California do their research and choose ICVR for their microsurgical vasectomy reversal.

Patients come to our full-time, vas reversal only “Center of Excellence” because we provide up to 99.5 % success rate for vas-to-vas connections (1), with many men even 20 to 42 years from vasectomy! (2) Our patients from every state in the US and more than 85 countries around the world understand that we have performed more than 7000 precision vasectomy reversals, every day, every week for several decades. Plus, each doctor limits his practice to one vasectomy reversal a day so that each patient receives the surgeon’s full attention to detail and is not under pressure to rush to the next surgery nor is he fatigued from earlier vas reversals.

Of course, there are many world-class urologic microsurgeons in the region who I know and respect that would also provide a top-notch vasectomy reversal including Dr. James Smith, Dr. Paul Turek, Dr. Ira Sharlip, Dr. Ed Karpmann, Dr. Mike Eisenberg, Dr. Raul Clavijo and Dr. Dave Nudell.

There are also many urologists who perform vas reversals as part of their busy general urology practice. Usually, the highest success will be with true vas reversal experts. In fact, our doctors actually wrote the textbook (3), teach the classes and write the courses that other doctors take to learn about vasectomy reversals.

Having the highest success rate is not the only reason to come to ICVR.

We have pioneered an advanced mild sedation technique, so our patients are comfortable, relaxed, and sleep throughout the surgery without the rare but serious risks of deep general anesthesia (4) and the vasectomy reversal is usually completely pain-free. In fact, most men don’t even ask for a single Tylenol afterwards.

Plus, patients don’t have to worry about having the reverse vasectomy performed by a medical student or doctor in training. Here at ICVR, Dr. Marks or Dr. Burrows does the entire surgery, from start to finish. Each patient receives a customized vasectomy reversal that is what is best for how each has responded to the years of blockage.

We also offer long-term 24/7 access with the doctor’s personal cell phone number after the vas reversal. Plus, at the time of the surgery, we can retrieve and freeze sperm, just in case, at no additional charge, which saves our patients many thousands of dollars.

Call our team of senior professionals is available to talk.
