Sally is a devoted and caring nurse in the operating room at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center and from her detailed description of her duties, one can see that she cares about the success of the patients’ surgery. She has many years of experience as a registered nurse and is indeed important support at our center. Thanks, Sally, for your detailed information for our patients’ comfort.

Thanks Sally for such a wonderful, informative piece. If I were a patient I would want one of our nurses to take care of me. Each of you express such a caring, generous attitude that our patients immediately feel comfortable and safe.

I had my TR surgury on 9-6-07 and the nursing staff at Chapel Hill is second to NONE! It’s pure professionalism and compassion at it’s best.

I was treated with the utmost respect and concern – before and after my surgury. The nurse walked me through everything that would happen and what they would be doing and it worked like clock-work. After surgury they monitored me, helped me up and around and kept me until *I* felt well enough to leave – there was no pushing you out the door. I was also told MANY times to call at any point with concern or issues.

Support staff is often over-looked, but the nurses at Chapel Hill really complete this facility. Dr.Berger is a miracle-worker (I know – my TR baby is 2 months old!) and his staff of nurses are the most wonderful group and really complete this wonderful experience!!

YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!!

Knowing what to expect the day of tubal reversal surgery is so important to our patients, especially since most travel from other states and countries. Thanks Sally for writing this blog, and for sharing your role at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center. I know you will help a lot of women coming for tubal reversal surgery.

Thanks so much for the description, Sally! I can’t wait to meet you, and the rest of the staff. I am scheduled on 7/30. Thanks so very much for taking the time to help ease our fears…one would think that after 2 vaginal births and 2 c-sections, there would be nothing left to fear…not the case!

Thanks again, and God Bless.

Thank you for the very descriptive and informative post, Sally. You give a clear understanding of what patients are to expect during surgery. I hope all our patients take the time to read our blog – especially before they come here for their surgery. If they do, they will definitely feel more comfortable about what they can expect during their experience here.
