Introducing Charles W. Monteith MD
Greetings from Dr. Monteith
My name is Dr. Charles W. Monteith and I am happy to formally introduce myself as a tubal reversal physician. I will be joining Dr. Gary Berger in practice at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center as a certified tubal ligation reversal specialist in the summer of 2008. I am currently undergoing certification in tubal ligation reversal under the careful guidance of Dr. Berger. My training began in January of 2008 and I am well underway. After two months of training, I have assisted Dr. Berger in more tubal ligation reversals than many infertility specialists have seen in a lifetime!
I am originally from Columbia, South Carolina. I attended college at Xavier University of Louisiana, where I graduated Summa Cum Laude in Chemistry Pre-med. I attended medical school at the University of California at San Francisco which was ranked as one of the top three medical schools in the United States when I was accepted. During medical school, I received a Howard Hughes research fellowship and conducted research in molecular genetics at the University of California at San Francisco.
I completed my residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. During residency, I was inducted into the Alpha Omega Alpha honor society and was the recipient of many different awards for resident and medical student teaching. I had the reputation as the resident who was the easiest to get along with, had the best rapport with patients, and was the overall most patient and best teacher.
After finishing residency, I accepted a Clinical Assistant Professor position with the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Chapel Hill in 2001. I worked as a Professor in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Wake Medical Hospital in Raleigh, N.C. for seven years. I practiced high risk obstetrics and advanced surgical gynecology. I delivered many babies and performed many surgeries while an Assistant Professor. My specialty was advanced laparoscopy and the performance of surgical procedures in the medically challenging patient. A significant amount of my time has been spent with the training and teaching of both medical students and residents.
Despite all of the above, my most important success has been the marriage to my wife, Mary, who has been the key element of support in all my endeavors. We married shortly after graduation from medical school in 1997, and she has been my constant support ever since. Together we have three beautiful children: Charles III (5yrs), Jordan (3yrs), and Madison (18months).
With my above training and family as support I look forward to a successful career in tubal reversal surgery. It is with special gratitude that I thank Dr. Berger and the staff at the Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center for accepting me with open arms and training me in both the science and art of tubal ligation reversal.

As a surgical technician at CHSC, I have not only enjoyed working with Dr. Monteith in surgery, but I was impressed reading about his educational background and gynecological experience on his blog. It is reassuring to know that woman desiring a tubal reversal here at CHSC are in the best hands.

I too am impressed with this extensive schooling and practice. Dr. Montieth would definitly win the easiest to work with award if we had one. Two thumbs up.
