The Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center gets asked a lot about HSG by women after tubal reversal surgery. They are questioning whether their tubes are really open, regardless of the checking Dr. Berger does during the surgery, and want to do this procedure. However, there are concerns about this being done too quickly.
Dr. Monteith has just published the third part of a series of a weekly blogs. Any patients who are curious to know more about him,who have met him, or are considering having surgery will find this interesting reading.This weekly blog will describe his path to becoming a tubal reversal specialist.
Dr. Charles Monteith will be joining the staff of Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center as a Tubal Reversal Specialist in July of 2008. By then, he will have trained with Dr. Berger in tubal reversal surgery for six months. The initial fee for surgery with Dr. Monteith will be a discounted rate of $4900. This rate will be available from July 21st to September 1st. This is an all-inclusive fee and includes all aspects of care. Many patients wanting to have children after tubal ligation are taking advantage of the reduced rate with Dr. Monteith.
Dr Berger has posted to his tubal reversal blog about the Ethics of Tubal Ligation. He says Doctors who perform tubal ligations should consider the possibility that the patient might in the furure change her mind, and therefore it is preferable to perform a type of tubal ligation better suited to reversing at a later time, should the need arise.
Many times the partners of potential patients have questions and concerns regarding the right physician for tubal reversal surgery. The Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center message board offers an avenue of information for partners to discuss tubal reversal surgery and to gain the support and information that they need to chose the right step for their family .
The good news is in! Dr. Charles Monteith began performing tubal reversal surgery full-time at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center on July 21, 2008. One month later, a patient from his first day of surgery has reported a positive pregnancy test! Dr. Monteith has been training in tubal reversal surgery with Dr. Gary Berger since January 2008 and became certified as a tubal reversal surgeon in July.
After his wife underwent tubal reversal surgery at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Surgery last week, the spouse of a patient who chose Dr. Gary Berger as her tubal reversal doctor explains the consultation, surgery, and post-op process to a potential patient. Dr. Berger and his staff have “fine tuned” the process so that time is no wasted and patients feel supported, informed, and cared for professionally by the tubal reversal staff. As the responsible adult who was caring for his wife before and after surgery, he reports that the entire process was streamlined and efficient and made them feel relaxed and safe.
Dear Dr. Berger & Staff,
Just wanted to take this opportunity while sending back my feedback sheet to thank you all so much for making our surgery experience so wonderful. I must say that when we first found the clinic the day before my surgery for my consult, we were surprised by the small appearance of the building. My husband & I expected a big sprawling clinic/hospital looking place. But once we entered into the reception area we were at ease. The receptionist was very kind & took a picture of us together so Dr. Berger would be able to “put a face with the name”. I thought that was great, that he thought enough of his patients to do that. We sat in the waiting area looking at & reading all the pictures of new babies & hundreds of thank you’s & blessings.
