The vast majority of people seeking information
about vasectomy reversal become confused by the sheer number of
"experts" and advertising vasectomy reversal doctors.
Unfortunately most vasectomy
reversals are performed by doctors that do not have the skill,
expertise, qualifications, access to the correct microsurgical
equipment and instruments, or daily experience to offer you the
best chances for success. In addition, the fact that almost all doctors who have ever done
a vasectomy reversal feel comfortable doing one reversal a year
ads to the confusion about who to see for your vasectomy
reversal. Be aware that just because someone says he is an
expert, or even has a thriving practice, does not mean that they
have the skill and expertise to do a well done microsurgical
multi-layer vasectomy reversal. Take the time to go to the best
microsurgeon and the best dedicated vasectomy reversal
center. Chances are it will not be one of your local
general urologists.
Please request information, ask questions, and learn how to
find the true experts. Watch out for gimmicks. You'll be
glad you did. |
