Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center – Chapel Hill Surgical Center
New patients may want to learn about the relationship between Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center and Chapel Hill Surgical Center. They are interrelated health care organizations exclusively for the benefit of patients undergoing tubal reversal surgery.
Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center
Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center is the name of my private practice. It is located on the second floor of a 2 story building at 109 Conner Drive in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Prior to 1997, Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center was known as Chapel Hill Fertility Center. During earlier years, complete diagnostic and treatment services were provided for all causes of infertility. Because it has always been my primary interest and special skill, I decided to limit my practice to tubal reparative surgery. I am the the only reproductive surgeon who performs tubal reversal surgery exclusively.
Chapel Hill Surgical Center
Chapel Hill Surgical Center is a licensed ambulatory surgical facility that occupies the first floor of 109 Conner Drive in Chapel Hill. This is where the tubal reversal procedures are performed. The facility has 3 operating rooms, a two-stage recovery room, and is staffed by a team of anesthesiologists, a nurse anesthetist, operating room nurses, recovery room nurses, surgical technologists, and an administrative staff. In the past, it was operated as a general ambulatory surgical center that included other doctors from many other surgical specialties. The facility was reorganized to provide tubal reconstructive surgery alone to allow all of the professional staff to concentrate on tubal reversal patients. This has led to the best medical care for women having a tubal reversal procedure.
A Unique Medical Organization
As the Medical Director of both facilities, IÂ am assisted by a dedicated and highly trained staff of over 20 people who devote all of their efforts to caring for 4 couples a day having tubal reversal surgery. The staff to patient ratio (5:1) is higher than found in any other surgical center or hospital. This permits the most attentive and personalized medical care possible. There is no other medical organization like this anywhere else. Most patients learn about us from the Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center website, while others are referred by their doctors or previous patients. Couples come here from all 50 states in the US and from every continent around the world.
Our Mission
We take pride in being the premier medical facility for tubal ligation reversal. Our mission for 2008 is to restore hope, fertility, and the opportunity to have children for 800 more couples, as we have done each year in the past.

Having both the Tubal Reversal Center and the Surgery Center in one building is ideal for our patients and staff. The staff of both facilities work closely together to make sure that our patients receive the best care possible. From an anesthesia standpoint, it is the perfect outpatient setting. We preop our patients over the phone and then we actually get to meet them the day before their surgery. This is not usually the case in out patient surgery. And, as Dr Berger mentioned, the patient to nurse ratio is higher than in other health care facilities and is one of the many reasons our patients do so well.

I have been told by many patients that the fact that Dr. Berger performs four surgeries a day is very comforting. It makes them feel secure because of his extensive experience doing tubal reversals (more than any other doctor in the world). The photo that is taken at check-in for the consultation, adds a personal touch. It’s wonderful to put a face with a name!

Women who have chosen Dr. Berger as their tubal reversal doctor tell us they appreciate that they are only around other couples who are going through the same surgery — not patients who are sick or having other types of procedures. The convenience of having both facilities located within the same building – with staff who are trained in and dedicated to caring for reversal patients – is just another way that we try to make the reversal process simple, convenient, safe, and professional for our patients.

The fact that both Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center and Chapel Hill Surgical Center are dedicated to caring for patients who are having tubal reversal surgery is one thing that sets the facility apart from others. This allows the staff to focus on each couple and to treat each patient as an individual. High standards are put in place and each employee who is a part of this organization is expected to practice under these standards. This allows us to provide the best patient care for each individual. The staff to patient ratio allows us one on one time with each patient. Having everything done in one exclusive facility allows our patients to have the best experience during their surgery. We hope that tubal reversal surgery with Dr. Berger will bring about a new beginning for everyone who enters through our doors.
