Our Vasectomy Reversal Patients from Tucson, Yuma, Nogales and Southern Arizona

This page, by Dr. Sheldon Marks, highlights many of the reasons why so many locals here in Tucson and around Southern Arizona choose to stay local and come to ICVR for the precision vasectomy reversal.

Tucson is the home to ICVR, one of the America’s top vasectomy reversal referral centers. With more than 7000 men who travel here from every state in the US and more than 85 countries around the world, our full-time, vas reversal only center is considered by other experts to be a true international “Center-of-Excellence.”

Dr. Marks and Dr. Burrows have a proven, published success of up to 99.5% for vas-to-vas connections (1) and with successful vas reversals with men who had their vasectomy up to 42 years, the world record now with his daughter having a baby (2), we are considered by other top experts to be one of the top destinations for couples that understand there is no reason to settle for anything less than the highest chances for success.

“ICVR is focused on one purpose, one goal – to give every patient the most state-of-the-art precision vasectomy reversal anywhere and the very best personalized medical experience they have ever had.”
Sheldon H. F. Marks, MD

As an outpatient procedure in our dedicated surgical suite, we avoid the use of rare but potentially risky general anesthesia (3) and developed a mild sedation technique so our patients sleep comfortably and pain-free throughout. In fact, most men don’t even ask for a single Tylenol afterwards!

Most doctors that do vas reversals are not true experts, and so can’t master the critical microsurgical skills necessary for the vas reversal. Surprisingly, many are not even trained in urology and urologic microsurgery, one of the most technically challenging surgeries in all of medicine.

Experience matters!

We perform the entire vas reversal, and since we don’t let any doctors-in-training participate in the surgery, every patient can trust that he will get the very highest chances for success.

Reasons to consider Dr. Marks and Dr. Burrows for a vas reversal include:

– Each doctor limits his practice to one vas reversal a day
– We offer an all-inclusive, no surprise price with no hidden fees
– You get both doctors personal cell phone numbers
– Sperm banking at no additional cost
– Our doctors actually teach other urologists advanced vas reversal techniques in courses, classes, a new textbook (4)

Our motto says it all, “We Make Men Dads AgainTM.”

Since we are here in Tucson’s own back yard, contact us at 520-731-2705 to arrange for a no charge office, phone, Zoom, Face Time or Skype consult to find out why we are one of the leading vas reversal centers in the world, just down the street. Consultations are available days, evenings or weekends.
