For those who are looking for the right tubal reversal surgeon the choice is not always easy to make. Reading what other patients have to say can be very helpful and insightful.
For those who are interested in tubal reversal surgery many wonder what to look for in the surgeon. Many patients who actually write back and forth on message boards have shared what experiences brought them to choosing the physician that was right for them.
Tubal reversal surgery like most surgeries is something that when it is time to choose the physician you as the patient want to be 100% sure with the decision you have made. Being confident with your decision will not only put you at ease but you will have an understanding of what to expect in the long run.
For many who go through a surgery knowing that you can get in touch with the staff and surgeon should something arise means a great deal. This is one thing that the surgeons and staff at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center pride themselves in. They believe that every question is important. If it weren’t important then why would someone ask it?
- When searching for the surgeon to perform tubal reversal surgery one of the best things that can be done is to talk to previous patients. This can be done by checking to see if the surgeon has a website. If they have a website look to see if they have a message board. In the message board look to see what the patients are saying and who may be asking questions and who and how they are being answered. Does the staff take the time to interact with the people asking questions? If so, are the answered in a friendly tone? Are the questions answered in a way that can be understood by someone not in the medical community?
- What type of pregnancy rates after surgery do the patients have? Is there any data to show the actual results? Any tubal reversal surgeon can proclaim that all of the patients that have been through surgery have had successful pregnancy but is there any evidence to back this up?
- Will the surgeon be honest with the patient in what to expect? The last thing people need is a surgeon to fill them with unrealistic expectations. Why have people believing something that may not happen? This is a ploy used by some just to make money.
- Do the staff and surgeons care about what they do? This is something that many of the former patients can answer. Dr. Berger and Dr. Monteith’s patients have written about this many times and continue to do so.
