Tubal Reversal Patients Waiting to meet Dr. Berger

"Overall, the experience with Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center was the most amazing thing I've done besides giving birth to my own children. They make you feel like there's another chance. They give you hope. They give you your dream."

— Tammy Gove of Randolf, Wisconsin

"Most of all, why we were willing to travel to Chapel Hill for tubal reversal surgery, we wanted to find a surgeon who does tubal reversal for a living, rather than once in awhile, so the procedure is basically easy."

— Sandy Hirschman of Brooklyn, New York

"What I've taken is a very complex, high-tech, expensive procedure and simplified it to make it accessible. The beauty of tubal reversal surgery as I developed it, is it's even more effective doing it this way, requiring a quarter of the time and expense, and the patients do better. It's also safer when performed in the outpatient setting and with minimal operating time."

— Gary S. Berger, M.D.

Having joined Dr. Berger as a tubal reversal specialist two years ago, Dr. Monteith clearly has a growing legion of appreciative parents as well. "Overall, the experience with Chapel Hill (Tubal Reversal Center) was the most amazing thing I've done besides giving birth to my own children. They make you feel like there's another chance. They give you hope. They give you your dream," says Tammy Gove, 34, of Randolf, Wisconsin, whose tubal reversal was performed by Dr. Monteith March 24.

That same day, Dr. Berger performed a tubal reversal on Sandy Hirschman, 31, of New York City. Both Hirschman and Gove had their tubes tied after having children in previous marriages. Now remarried to husbands who have never had their own child, the women hope to conceive again.

Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center is a freestanding facility, with a licensed surgicenter that has been accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Health Care Organizations. The center's services are so unique that it has been featured by The Learning Channel in "The Operation" series.
