Home & Family Facts and Notes

Are you one of the thousands of women in the U.S. alone that changes her mind after having a tubal ligation? Something in your circumstances has changed or maybe it’s just been a change of mind. Who cares? What you want is to reverse the surgery and need a good doctor to do this. The staff and surgeons at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center are the answer you have been searching for.

Unlike any other place you can name, tubal reversals are the only thing done at the center. You won’t have to worry about something else, like in vitro fertilization, being pushed on you. As an IVF is a more expensive procedure that usually requires more tries, you will find this is the procedure that will be presented as your best option whether it truly is or not. Not so at CHTRC.

The head surgeon of the Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center is Dr. Gary Berger. You will not find anyone else that has the background, education and training that he has within the tubal reversal field. As Dr. Berger performs the tubal reversal microsurgery four times a day, five days a week, no one can begin to match the number of reversed tubes he has repaired. He even trained under Dr. Winston. Check out his background on drbergertubal.com yourself and see no one can match it.

The surgical staff of technologists at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center are second to none. These are the people who make sure everything within the operating room is as it should be. You may not ever see their faces behind their surgical masks but they are the ones that make sure all equipment works as it should, that the operating room is meticulous and all is sterile for your surgery. Dr. Berger’s first assistant has been with him for 18 years. If she doesn’t know the drill by now, you sure won’t find it elsewhere. Among doctors who use staff at whatever hospital they work with, the surgical staff can change from time to time, especially since most other surgeons perform tubal reversal much less often than Dr. Berger.

Next we have Dr. Caryn Hertz who is the Director of Anesthesia at CHTRC. She, too, has been there for a long time. In her case, she has worked with Dr. Berger since 1995. This collaboration began after she left Duke University Medical Center to join Dr. Berger. I would guess the name of Duke alone should tell you the quality of the professional she is. Match that with her long term work with Dr. Berger, meaning she, too, knows this surgery inside and out and you have a winning team.

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.
