Vasectomy Reversal Testimonials
Every doctor has success stories and testimonials from patients who think that he or she is wonderful. But offering the names of only those patients whose procedures have been successful doesn't allow the reversal candidate an unbiased spectrum of opinions about a surgeon or the reversal process.
In April 1999, we began to ask every reversal patient for permission to release his first name and phone number to reversal candidates who would like to learn more about the reversal process here in our office. We ask this permission at the time of each reversal, even before we know if there are any complications or if the reversal has restored sperm to the semen. It is therefore an unselected list of all patients willing to provide advice to reversal candidates. As of November 2007, 606 reversal patients were listed by state and telephone area code.
Please contact us by using our Visitor Form and we will send to you this list.
For those of you who really like the good news stories, here are a few:
| The
good doctor Stein called last week to inquire as to the results of a
reversal performed on me three years ago. Rather than calling, I am
writing this message a followup to that call.
This is to announce the (belated) birth of James "Austin" (HIPAA regulations prohibit the publishing of last name, he he), last May 8th, 2002. He weighed 8.0 lbs, 20.5 inches of pure TEXAN. In 1981, after having a daughter, I chose to have a vasectomy. However in 1998, I remarried and my new wife really wanted to have children. I searched the net for a clinic specializing in that type of procedure. One well advertised clinic wanted over $8000 and lots of trips to their South Texas location. Dr Stein's fee was considerably less than that (even with airfare, lodging and food) with a single two day visit to Tampa, Fla. They provided a list of referrals and I contacted a couple of them personally. We chose Dr Stein as the surgeon for the reversal The first day was a one hour office visit and brief exam, and the procedure was scheduled for the next afternoon. The reversal performed by Dr. Stein was performed without complications. We stayed an extra day to do a little sightseeing on the Gulf, then flew back the following morning. Recovery was about 5 days of just laying around, being chauffeured by my wife and eating out a lot, since I am the primary cook in the house. The staff called a couple of weeks after the procedure to see that recovery was progressing. About six months later, they sent a specimen kit to evaluate sperm count by a local lab at no cost to us. We continued to attempt pregnancy and one day when I came home from work, I found a small stuffed lamb on the bed holding two pair of booties, one pink and one blue. Needless to say we were elated with the news. We chose not to find out the gender of our child. We are thankful to GOD who blessed us with our baby boy. Austin will be one next week and is very health, happy and already asking for the car keys. Pictures attached. Thank you for your professional assistance in making this happen. James and Tracy |

Dear Dr. Stein, Well, so much has
happened since we last spoke, I believe in August of 1999. As I
stated in our last conversation, Greg and I employed the help of a
fertility specialist and learned that Greg had built up sperm
antibodies. In January of 2000 we did a sperm wash and insemination
and got lucky on our 1st try!!! The doctor recommended
using fertility drugs, but knowing that I could not handle
multiples, I declined. In October of 2000 we had a beautiful,
healthy boy and named him Spencer after much arguing on names. He is
now 3 and makes us laugh everyday with phrases he comes up with. We had a BIG
surprise in September of 2001….in the form of a beautiful, healthy baby
boy. We were under the impression that conceiving was near impossible
without the help of a specialist. Well…..in July of 2002 Garrison was
born. We feel so very blessed and want to thank you for Greg’s
successful reversal.
Nic and Gillian are the
boys ½ siblings and just adore their baby brothers. Nic and Gillian have
been living with us full time since May of 1999. They have enjoyed
watching the different stages of pregnancy and are now enjoying watching
the boys grow and go through the their different stages. I wanted to write
to you because I remember you telling me that you like to keep stat sheets
on your cases and it’s hard to keep up with clients because of divorce,
moving, etc. Well, put 2 more
marks on the positive feedback column for Spencer and Garrison because
Greg and I are positively happy and love our baby boys so much!!! Best wishes to
you and yours this holiday season and best wishes in 2004. Thank you again
so very much for completing our lives.
Sincerely, R & Greg (Tampa, Florida) |

Dear Dr. Stein, My husband Alex
had a reversal at your office in January of 2000. We just
wanted to send you a picture of Cody Erin, born Feb. 21, 2001.
We are so excited to welcome him to our family – thank you! I also
wanted to thank you for your personal calls to Alex. You don’t see
that too often these days and we really appreciated the calls. You
are welcomed to use our name if anyone wants to talk with someone
about your office. Thanks again, Jill (Longwood, Florida) |

1995 In January 1994 you performed a reversal on my Daddy. My Daddy's original vasectomy had been performed in 1970. Not much happened until March of this year. But Mommie and Daddy took a Nile cruise starting at Luxor and ending at Aswan Egypt. During this time I was conceived. I am really a busy baby girl right now, drinking milk, and sleeping, and smiling, but I want to take enough time to tell you that I thank you very much. I hear Daddy saying to me every day, "Thank God for Dr. Stein". I was a very healthy baby, more than 8 lbs. I'm only 16 days old now and Mommie looks like a teenager again. I plan to come to America soon. I have a passport (American) already. So I want to say to you, Dr. Stein, thank you. I think I am going to have a very happy life. My parents think I am very special. Love

| My name is Nicole and you performed a reversal on my husband, Robert, back in December, 2001. It took a while, but I just wanted to let you know that I recently found out that I was pregnant and my due date is January 29, 2004. Thank you so much for everything that you did for us. |
| Dr. Stein, Vivian and
office staff. I present to you Garrett Chase. Born November 26th, 2003,
8lb 11oz, 22 1/4" long. Without your help Dr. Stein this dream would
have never came to pass, may God truly Bless you, and your staff. Oh yeah, 2nd time was a charm :-) If you need any referrals just send them our way. Robby and Dena |
| Hi Dr. Stein.
This is C. from Rutherfordton, NC. G. and I had our 2nd son 3 months
ago. We sing your praises quite often. Because of this there
is a couple considering vas reversal here. Can you tell me how far
out you are on scheduling? I see your prices have increased a little
(which of course is only natural) and they will have travel expenses from
South Carolina but still I'm sure it would serve them well to contact you.
Hope all is successful in your business. C. |
| Just
an update. Katelyn Christine was born 9/11/03 at 7:31 AM. She
was 8 lbs 2.8 oz. and 20 1/2". Mom and daughter are doing
great. Dad is doing good also. Again, thank you for your
expertise in the reversal. I would highly recommend your services to
anybody considering this procedure. Max |

| Dr. Stein did my husbands procedure in March 2002. To our surpraise we were pregnant in April 2002. We had a little girl in 12-2002. I went on birth control and to our surpraise in 9-2003 found out I was pregnant again. People can't believe I got pregnant on the pill but when I tell them my husband had a reversal. They are even more surpraised. The procedure is so expensive here and people don't talk about it much. Have you ever thought about advertising here in Tennessee? Thanks for everything!!!!!!!!! I would like to help in advertising if you considered the idea. |
| Dr.
Stein & Viv, Well 10 months post 2nd-op, & we are pregnant! Just though I would let you know. Due date will be in June 04. I will let you know what we have. Dan |
| Hi Dr. Stein The pregnacy was after the clomid in fact about 2 months after. We had given up on having a baby the conventional way so we began to look at adoption of course this was the month she did get pregnant. Thank you for your continued interest we are so excited and are happy to share with anybody who will listen. In fact I am going to refer someone to you soon his brother is in a class I am teaching and this couple has been saving up for a while and wanted someone good so you are the man. By the way my contact info is now J and R ... Rock Hill, SC Thanks Again for everything |

Stein, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for a job well done for James' reversal almost one year ago. (1/27/03) We waited a long time to have the semen analysis done, and as you know, the results are excellent!!! I apologize for the doubt I had about 6 months ago regarding the success of the surgery. I realize that I should not have assumed that the problem was related to the success of the reversal. To be honest, there is a lot of stuff flying around the internet about reversals, and success and horror stories abound. It is an emotional experience to say the least. We are very grateful to you for your kindness, your skill, your patience, your empathy, and for following up on us and caring about the results of the surgery. Your phone calls have truly meant alot to us!!! We are so thrilled to know that James is fertile again. Of course, we still may not conceive a baby. But we are still completely happy with the outcome of our journey to Tampa. I cannot explain why it is so important to us for James to be "whole" again, but it is. Our marriage is closer and happier since the reversal, and for that we are forever grateful to you!!!! Once again, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! We will always remember you. God bless you. The work you do and the joy you bring to so many is awesome!!! You're the best!!! Thanks, Anita |
| Dr. Stein, I don't know if you remember us but Tim had his vr on Oct 27. I just wanted to let you know we just tested positive. Thank you. I can't believe it worked. It was over 11 years since Tim's vasectomy Julie S. |
| Dr.
Stein, we would just like to take the time to say thank you very much. In
February of this year we had a 7 lb bundle of joy. We have named him
nicholas i have sent a picture of him to show you that your work, does
miracles, again Thank you very much. Sincerely, Charles and Patricia |
| Thanks
for Everything Dr. Stein,
This
message, though brief, |
| Dr. Stein, You
performed a reversal on me 1 1/2 ago, we had just lost our daughter
Isabella. Our hearts were broken and we were looking for answers. You
provided us with that answer. I have enclosed a picture of Chloe, she is two months old and she is doing great. We wanted to thank you for a priceless gift and for helping to mend our hearts. God bless you, L, V, J, M, S, F and C. |
| Dr. Stein, I've been meaning to write sooner but better late than never. Just wanted to say thank you soooo much for making my husband's reversal a success!! We now have a 17.5 lb. baby girl Briana Marie. She was born 2/8/05. It would not have been possible without your help! We are very happy! She is so beautiful! She was 7 lbs. 7 oz. when born she's almost 7 months what a bundle of joy she is & Thank you once again. Keep in touch. Take Care. Barry & Marta |
| This is just a message to report another success story. My husband had a reversal Feb. 2005 and we are happy to announce that we are expecting in April this year. His reversal was done just after 1 year of his vasectomy. We conceived in July, just 4 months after the reversal. We thank you for this blessing to add one more to our family. Kurt and Donna |
| Dr. Stein, I wanted to give you some updated information on my reversal. I had my reversal done on May 19th, 2005 and we just found out on Tuesday May 2, 2006 that my wife is pregnant. This is after having a vasectomy for almost 15 years and being 45 years old (my wife is 42). You do nice work!!! Thanks and God bless, Scott |
| I just wanted to inform Dr. Stein that after undergoing a reversal back in 2005 (7+ years after a Vasectomy), I am proud to announce that my wife is now 9 weeks pregnant. I would like to sincerely thank and congratulate Dr. Stein for a job well done. Please feel free to post this email or use me as a reference. Don |

Dr. Stein, Approximately 1 year ago, you performed a reversal on my husband. We are both very excited to share the attached picture with you. On March 24, 2006, our little girl, Katelyn was born. We wanted to personally thank you and tell you how appreciative we are of you. You did an awesome job!!!! You are a very understanding and caring person along with your staff. Thank you for the support that you gave us. We are absolutely in love with Katelyn. She has brought so much love and joy and happiness into our lives, that no words can truly express them. Thank you once again, for everything. Jose and Elizabet |
| Hey, Dr. Stein. You performed my reversal in March of 2002. My Daughter was born in December of 2002. My Son was born in May of 2004. Now my wife and I have recently learned that she is pregnant again. I just wanted to thank you. As with my son we were not expecting this exciting news. If we come to Florida next year I will contact you about maybe performing a vasectomy. I am sending you my new address so that you may update your referral list once again thank you. William |

Hi, thanks for emailing us back. This next email was long overdue. I
wanted to write again and let you know our daughter came into the world
on Dec 14th just fine. She was delivered c-section and she was 8lbs 14oz
and 21"long.
We named her Mackenzie Rae. I've attached a photo of her and of us as
well. She is a week old in the photo that was taken.
Thank you for all your help. We are forever grateful and we couldn't
be happier. For it being a reversal you made the situation rather
pleasant and have had only great things to say about you and your
office.
Thank you again Dr Stein! Dawn
and Steve

Dr Stein, We were in your office having a reversal done back on December 19, 2001. I beleive we have the year right. It had been about 12 years since my original vascectomy. Shortly after my reversal procedure Donna went through some female complications and even though we were told she should still be able to get pregnant nothing happened. After a few years of thinking and worrying about it we had just about accepted that it just wasn't meant to be. Then you know what happens when you quit thinking about it........it happens! We gave birth to a fine baby boy, Daniel Tyler, on May 20, 2006. This goes to show to all, never give up. We wouldn't have been able to make this happen without you, so add another win to your stats. The procedure was almost painless and well worth the drive to Tampa. Thanks for everything! Roger & Donna |

Dr. Stein, If you recall, I told you a couple weeks ago that my wife Arzu took a home pregnancy test and it was positive. The vasectomy reversal you performed on me was on 5 July 2007. Well, she had the pregnancy confirmed by a doctor just a couple days ago and she is 7 weeks along. My wife Arzu and I thank you and your staff for everything. You and your personnel were fantastic throughout every aspect. I’m not sure if I signed anything saying people could contact me if they wished to speak to your patients but please feel free to list my email. Again, we thank you and your staff very much. Best regards, James and Arzu |
