She is SO right! And the excellence continues long after you leave their building. I had my TR in 2002 and every time I have emailed Dr. B or a nurse, I have a reply with minutes. Literally, within minutes. I have 2 TR babies and have had 2 m/c in the last almost 8 years. I have had 100% complete support from them any time I needed it. This is truly an EXCEPTIONAL practice. This should be the standard for all medical care! Jo Ann

Why Did You Choose Dr. Berger For Your Tubal Reversal Surgery

Women who have come for surgery or plan to have reversal surgery in the near future, share the many reasons why they prefer to have Dr. Berger perform their surgery. One important reason mentioned is the time and expense Dr. Berger takes to analyze patient data so that potential patients have the information they should have to make an informed decision about tubal reversal surgery.

I just wanted to let you know Back in 2005 when I was looking for a Dr to do my reversal I went to my family Dr and he sent me on to you He had already sent another lady to you that had a baby. ( I also had one thank you) I was contacted from a friend who asked me about my reversal and who I went to and I sent her your web site info She also went to her family Dr (which is different from mine)to find out info on a reversal and he also told her to go to you. I just wanted to let you know that you are very liked in our town and it seems that the DR's here think the world of you as we all do too. I just wanted to share this info with you. I think it is neat that two different Dr's send their patience to you. Thank you again for making this happen for all of us. TJ

Dear TJ -

Thank you for your message. I am glad to know that I have a good reputation among the doctors in your town. Apparently, it has been spreading over the years. When you see your doctor next, please thank him for me for sending you to me!!

Thanks, DJ! Having worked with him for many years, all of us who work with him believe that Dr. Berger is the best tubal reversal doctor! But it is nice to hear that other doctors think well of him, too.

Thanks again.

Hello everyone. I have been watching this site for over 6 months while planning to have a tubal reversal but this is my first time writing in. My doctor here in Florida also highly recommended Dr. Berger, I've been in touch with the office but I started to do a little research on my own and looked at some other doctors. I requested some information from a doctor in Kentucky. Being a nurse myself I was surprised and impressed when my phone rang one day and it was [the doctor] himself. Something doctors don't do very often. I thought it was a good sign of caring and confidence. If anyone can help me make my final decision, whether its a past patient, nurse or Dr. Berger himself I would appreciate it. I mainly want to know what the difference between the two doctors methods are and how responsible they hold themselves and their work to results after the patient has paid for and gone through the procedure.

Posted by momto10 (Member # 11808) on December 17, 2007 11:38 AM:

I can only tell you how I came to my decision. I
too was on [the other doctor's] site (for a short time), the reason I lurked, but didn't participate was 2 fold,
1. I really felt like everyone was worshipping him, it felt funny, like he was a deity or something, I would prefer a little more modesty. And the other reason was that I REALLY respect Dr. Berger because he POSTS EVERYTHING, the good, the bad, the ugly....I feel like he holds NOTHING back. I see EVERY statistic, he keeps records of every possible variation, as though he was constantly conducting research. [The other doctor] is all sunshine and roses and we as mothers know that if something seems to good be to be true, it probably is. I can't trust someone who doesn't disclose everything.

2.I also preferred the "staff" here. The nurses are friendly, helpful, and ACTUALLY wanting to help you have a baby.

OH I need to add a few more reasons (sorry, the more I think the more I realize).
3. I found Dr. Berger on the OneMoreSoul.com site, he WANTS to help bring about a new soul, it's not all about the money for him. He cares about he souls he helps to produce. Just the fact that he knows a soul is involved is amazing.
4. For number 4 I wanted to include all the little reasons that matter but not as much, the price, the helpfulness of the site, he is doctor recommended, he works WITH our current doctors before during and after, and his staff is SOOO Smart and they are willing to share all their knowledge.

Hope this helps... It doesn't mater to me who you pick, I just found myself in your shoes and I wanted to words to my decision.

Posted by Julia Smith, RN (Member # 10) on December 17, 2007 11:51 AM:

Dear TJ: I apologize for the lengthy response, but I think it addresses some of the questions you had.

Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center is the only medical facility specifically for tubal ligation reversal surgery. We provide the most detailed information about tubal reversal available from any doctor, hospital, or medical institution. This blog post describes how we are able to do this.

Keeping track of patients following surgery makes excellent sense from a clinical point of view. Continuing follow-up after surgery helps ensure the best care for each patient and allows us to evaluate the success of tubal reversal surgery and the care we provide. Setting up and maintaining a system to ensure ongoing follow-up is not usually found in a private medical practice since this is costly and time-consuming and requires staff knowledgeable in database management. Regardless of the cost and time requirement, Dr. Berger has made it a priority because of his commitment to giving patients all of the information they should have in order to make an informed decision about tubal reversal surgery.

At Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center, we have a computer system where every nurse enters patient information before, during, and after each surgery. In fact, all 11 of our nurses contact patients, record data and make daily entries into computerized records.

With this follow-up information, Dr. Berger can analyze and report accurate statistical data about the long-term outcomes of tubal reversal procedures he has performed. Other doctors often quote our statistics -- but they cannot provide information on their own since they are not able (or willing) to go to the time and expense of collecting their own data!

The patient follow-up system consists of information collected in many different ways and includes a minimum of 6 calls or e-mails to the patient in the first year following surgery.

1. Post-operative nurse visit the morning after surgery;
2. Telephone follow-up on the second postoperative day;
3. Telephone follow-up on the third postoperative day;
4. E-mail questionnaire at two weeks;
5. Telephone contact at 6 months;
6. Telephone contact at 12 months.

Other information is collected and recorded any time we communicate with patients post-operatively. These contacts are usually initiated by patients to report pregnancies and the outcomes of pregnancies. When patients report new pregnancies, we request that they complete a Pregnancy Report Form. Each week, we summarize the new pregnancy results in the Weekly Pregnancy Report Forum of the Tubal Reversal Message Board and also give more details in the Weekly Pregnancy Announcements.
After reading our information and statistics and comparing it to what might be available from other doctors, we believe patients will recognize that Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center is the only facility where accuracy of information is considered to be a priority and sharing it with prospective patients is considered to be a necessity. Providing facts rather than offering misleading or speculative statements about tubal reversal success is one mission of our practice. We believe this is the right thing to do.
I hope this helps!

Hi Savannah and welcome to the board. I'm also from FL..Panama City area. I have not had my TR yet, but plan to schedule after New years. I began researching TR doctors about 7 or 8 years ago and my search ended when I found Dr Berger. It just feels right!! Not only will you find amazing support from Dr B and his staff, but the ladies on this board are all very supportive and informative. I just couldn't imagine going anywhere else.
I wish you lots of luck no matter where you decide to have TR!!

I wanted to add a little something to this post that helped me make my decision. I also researched the Doctor in KY. He charges extra of you are overweight. Dr. Berger just plain old won't operate because it isn't safe regarding anethesia. I am not overweight, so that wasn't an issue, but it made HUGE warning bells go off in my head that a doctor would essentially perform elective surgery on someone where it wasn't necessarily the safest. he also wanted pictures of you in bra and panties to assess your weight. Ummm....how about HECK NO!!!

I felt that in the KY docs literature that he was bashing Dr.Berger's surgical technique. (and really it was a roundabout way to bash Dr.Berger himself.) I don't feel that anyone should have to bring someone else down to raise themselves up. It just isn't right.

The other doctor includes all pregnancies into his statistics, including those achieved by IVF. Umm...that isn't the same thing. If I wanted to achieve pregnancy by IVF, I would have gone that route to begin with. If I remember correctly, the other doctor offered IVF if the TR didn;t work. That's all well and good, but I live in NY, so I certainly wouldn't be traveling to KY to have that done.

Anyway, I had my TR is 2004 and I really felt that Dr. Berger cared about me. He also cared about my reasons for wanting the surgery. His staff was beyond excellent. My TR baby is 2, so I know for sure the surgery works! HTH!

Tubal Reversal in Mexico - Reply

I can't begin to tell you how different you will find your experience at Chapel Hill! Coming up with the funds for the surgery was very difficult for us as well but truly worth every penny.

You will most likely find that Dr. Berger is incredibly reasonably priced when compared to other physicians especially combined with hospital fees. It came out to a 65% discount for us over what my local RE and the hospital was going to charge.

Also, when I say I did my research, trust me I did. I even called the NC medical board and governor's office. I research public records for any malpractice suits (not even one suit against him) and called the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology and there was not one negative about this man who has been practicing for 30 years! My general practitioner thought I was nuts for finding a DR online and when he completed his research, his words to me were, "I'd send my wife to him after everything I've learned." Now, my RE was a personal friend and recommendation by him so that should speak volumes to you.

As for success with the surgery, I unfortunately do not have another child but I have been pregnant three times in the last year since the surgery so at least he's taken me a step closer and I have faith that we'll have a "sticky bean" soon. God led me to Dr. Berger and he's now leading you to him as well. With effort, patience, and diligence, the money will come.

Again, the man is worth his weight in gold and his nurses are worth just as much, if not more!

Make sure to have all of your gynecological work ups done before you have the surgery to make sure you don't have any other obstacles. One other added bonus is that you won't find better support than on this board. The women are incredible, knowledgeable (even more so than some physicians and nurses that work in Gynecology) and courageous and always willing to help. My RE is always impressed with how much I know and the types of questions I ask. He tells me that I'm the most "informed consumer" he's ever had. I think Dr. Berger should charge a fee for the message board service alone because it's kept a lot of us from having to seek out a psychiatrist, hahahah. There's always someone to pick you up at your most desperate moments and a nurse you can call when you're just about to lose your mind. The best part is that the service doesn't stop once they send you home post surgery. They offer service and support well past the time you leave!

God bless you in your journey and send all your spare money to Chapel Hill even if it means skipping the "die for pumps" on sale at Macy's!!!!

Does the staff treat you good? Are they good at answering questions? Do they take the time to make sure you're satisfied with everything?
------------------------------------------------
Posted by ChucksGirl:
Dear Sisa:
Dr. B and his staff are the best! I know of no other doctor or his staff who respond 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. I have called the nurses at night and on weekends and they always make me feel it is okay to be calling. When you are there for your consult they will answer all of your questions and you get lots of time to sit down with Dr. Berger, too. The nurses in the recovery room will also review everything with you during the pre-op time. On teh day after surgery, a nurse will come to the hotel to see you to answer questions and to see how you are doing.
I know others will post but I think you will find yourself spoiled by Dr. Berger and his great staff!

You won't even feel like you are talking to Dr.s and Nurses (based on the way most of them treat people) This entire group is fantastic. You will be amazed at how they help you, listen to you and make all efforts to ensure that you understand and are comfortable with everything that is going on. and their care and concern continues after the surgery too. You will get the same respect and consideration from them even after the fact. They are phenomenal and should be benchmarked by any and all other health professionals in my opinion. Good luck to you,

The entire staff at CH is first-class all the way. You will start wondering why all doctors and health care professionals are not MORE like Chapel Hill. They are available at all times to you and you will never be put off or treated like a bother.
They answer any questions you have quickly and give you as much information as possible.
As far as being satisfied, they go above and beyond. The hotel accomidations, consult, surgury and post-op visit are all so professional and smooth that it will seem too good to be true!
You can NOT go wrong with Chapel Hill!

Dr. Berger performed my TR in 2003. Him and staff was wonderful. For a solid year I spoke to the nurses off and on they were always so well to speak to me even at night or on weekends. When we arrived at CHFC I was nervous hoping everything was going to be perfect. I was also wanting tube lengths like 10. After surgery we found out my tube length was 3 & 4. I was somewhat upset. But I held on to what dr. b said. I dont feel you'll have any problem getting pregnant!!!
I got pregnant rather quickly.Dr. Berger and his staff is great. You have found the best.
Good luck!
