Health Information

Every year in the U.S. alone hundreds of thousands of women are persuaded to undergo tubal ligation surgery. The number varies depending upon the source but of those women who do this, many will decide they want to reverse the surgery. The premiere place to do so is the Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center.

Maybe the best thing about the center is that tubal reversals are the only type of surgery done there. You won’t have to withstand any efforts by the staff or doctors to push you toward having an in vitro fertilization either which is a more expensive option and possibly less effective alternative. They do tubal reversals, period. Not vasectomy reversals and not IVF. As the tubal reversal surgery is all they do, you have an extremely well versed staff. They have the experience no one else does.

Perhaps what makes this center the premiere place begins with Dr. Gary Berger. No one has the education, training or medical background that Dr. Berger has in this specialized field. For more detailed information about his background, please check out the pages on drbergertubal.com. Add his background to the fact that tubal reversals are all he does and that he does them four times a day, five days a week, and you have experience that no one else can match.

Keeping the operating room and equipment operating at peak efficiency are the surgical technicians. They make sure everything works right and all is meticulous and sterile as it should be. These surgical technicians have been with the CHTRC for years. In fact, Dr. Berger’s first assistant has been with him for 18 years. That ought to give you a good feeling that she knows what she is doing and has seen it all. That is the caliber of the surgical staff.

Not only has the first assistant surgical technologist been there long term, so has the Director of Anesthesia. She is Dr. Caryn Hertz and has worked with Dr. Berger since 1995. Before that she was at the Duke University Medical Center which just goes to show what type of qualities she has. Sure beats wondering who you would pull going into some hospital for the surgery.

Looking at the nursing staff next will again show you the quality of the people who work at CHTRC. Some have been there long term as well. What really matters is how much they really care for the women who come to the center looking for a second chance at having a baby. Most likely it’s the nursing staff who will talk to you and answer your questions. You can even talk to them via the message board at forums.tubal-reversal.net.

With that quick look at the staff, let’s talk quickly about the message board at forums.tubal-reversal.net. You will be able to ask questions there if you wish. Sure, you can call the office and get answers. However, at the message board you can talk to some of CHTRC’s other patients. You will meet other women thinking about getting a tubal reversal or who are saving up to pay for one. You can also talk to women who have already had it done and have had their precious little miracles as well. The staff watches the board to answer your questions and even Dr. Berger drops by now and then to help out.

And what other surgeon or center do you know of that follows up past the six week in office check up? At the Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center, they contact you at six months and again at one year after your reversal surgery. Dr. Berger and his staff have even had contact with some ladies years after their surgery when they needed advice on fertility issues. Using the information collected post operation and what was collected before, the center maintains a database that allows them to answer the question women will ask prior to their surgery - What are the success rates? You will know the statistics for this center specifically and not some general statistics for all doctors.
