Checking Out the Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center
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.
Among the many other positives about the center, one of the best is the level of expertise brought on by the fact that tubal reversals are all that is done there. You won’t find in vitro fertilization. You won’t find vasectomy reversals being done or any other kind of surgery. What is done is only tubal ligation reversals. This means the staff is second to none in regards to experience with the procedure. Their time is not taken up with other types of procedures. No one can match their expertise.
It is Dr. Berger who has brought Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center to the forefront for tubal ligation reversals. No one can match his background and training within this field. He has had the opportunity to study under and observe Dr. Winston himself, the man who was the pioneer in microsurgical tubal reversal procedures. Put that background together with the sheer number of tubal reversals Dr. Berger has done and you have someone who cannot be matched. Dr. Berger performs these operations, and only these operations, four times a day, five days a week.
The surgical technologists are the ones who keep the operating room all to rights. They ensure the operating room works correctly, that everything is sterile as it should be and that the room itself is meticulous. You wouldn’t recognize them if you saw them because you will not usually see them. They are in the operating room with masks on so you can’t see their faces. Besides you will be asleep in the operating room. The first assistant has been on Dr. Berger’s staff and worked with him for eighteen years. Does your surgeon have the same staff after eighteen years?
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.
Now we turn to the nursing staff. Many of them have been with the center long term as have the Director of Anesthesia and the surgical technicians. You will likely have the most contact with these ladies. Not only are they there to answer your questions, you will find they genuinely care about their patients. This is apparent if you should go to the message board at forums.tubal-reversal.net with any questions. They also write posts now and then for the blog at the center’s website. This allows you a chance to see inside the center.
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.
What about those follow-ups? What am I talking about? I’m talking about the fact that the staff at CHTRC will check in with you at least six times after your surgery. These include a check at six months post surgery and a final check at one year post surgery. I have never heard of a doctor or clinic that provides that kind of follow up. Have you? This is just another indication of the great staff and doctors at the Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center. You won’t find better care anywhere else.
