Vasectomy Reversal Success

“Thank you again for your amazing work!  I firmly believe we wouldn't have our little miracle if it weren't for your attention to detail. We are forever grateful!"

"We just wanted to let you know that we are 13 weeks and 2 days pregnant :) !!!! Due date [in March]. Thank you again!!!"

"A year ago today [my husband] had his reversal.  We celebrate this day and our journey that led to God blessing us with our third child.  Our healthy baby boy was born [in June]. He is such a happy 3 1/2 month old and everyone in our family could not imagine life without him!  Thank you Dr. Russell for walking us through our questions and concerns as we came to the decision of a reversal.  Your expertise, prompt response time, and kind demeanor were very much appreciated throughout the entire process.  We were so blessed to have gotten pregnant the same month as surgery and truly thank you for providing us the opportunity to expand our family!" 

"We are so thrilled to be parents again!  Thank you for making it possible!"" 

"Doctor Russell, You performed a vasectomy reversal for me [in January].  I am writing to let you know that our baby is due [in November] so don't wait around for my fertility test results!  After backtracking from the ultrasound results, that works out to my wife getting pregnant one week after my two week recovery period. I was confident in your abilities but this is just unbelievable.  My wife and I just want to express our deepest gratitude for giving us this chance and fixing my mistake of getting a vasectomy five years ago.  Thank you so much!"  

"Hi Dr. Russell, You performed a vasectomy reversal on my husband [in February].  We are thrilled to announce that we are expecting a baby in January!  We had our first OB visit today at 9.5 weeks and heard and saw the heartbeat on ultrasound.  This baby is a gift from God, we want to thank you for your expert care in helping us to receive it."  

"Although it took a little longer than we hoped, we remained patient and were rewarded with this perfect little guy who we all love so much already.  Thank you to Dr. Russell and the staff for making this possible!"  

"Dr. Russell, We have great news.  Our daughter came into this world [this July].  We can't thank you enough. We are blessed and couldn't have done it without your steady hands.  You are awesome!!!"  

"Just thought you'd like to see the fruits of your labor!  [Our son] was born on our 2nd wedding anniverary.  7lbs 11oz of perfect post vasectomy reversal baby! We couldn't be more happy with the results and I tell people all the time it was worth the extra drive out of state!  Thank you a million times over for helping make our dream come true."  

"Dear Dr. Russell, 13 weeks pregnant and still going strong!  Thank you for your experience and follow through."  

"Hi Dr. Russell!  It's been awhile!  I just wanted to tell you again how thankful I am for you!  I gave birth to my baby girl [in October].  You did a vasectomy reveral on my husband [last September].  I couldn't be more blessed and you made this all possible!  Thank you so much for making my dream of being a mother possible!"  

"Dr. Russell, We had our baby today. you performed my vasectomy reversal [in July]. Our daughter is the product of a natural impregnation.  It was 19 years from my vasectomy to the reversal. My wife and I thank you."  

"Dr. Russell, We just wanted to take a minute to thank you once again for helping our family grow!  We were able to have our second child [in September]!. We will always be grateful to you for helping us have a family!!!  Here is a photo of our two precious miracles and a huge thanks to you!!

"Dear Dr. Russell, The reversal you did [in October] worked!  In September we conceived.  Even though it was almost a year later we only actively tried for 3 months!  There was a wonderful nurse at the surgery center that wanted a picture of our baby...so here he is.  Thanks for helping with Step 1 in [our son's] journey."  

"Dr. Russell, I realize that the results are still a few weeks out but I just wanted to extend my sincere thanks to you and everyone at the surgery center.  All of you were extremely cordial and did a fantastic job of both communicating and keeping me relaxed and comfortable.  I also realize that it's only day two, but so far my post-procedure comfort level is much higher than I anticipated.  I can only assume this has to do with your performance during the operation.  Overall, this is about as positive an experience as I can imagine for outpatient surgery.  Thank you so much."  

"Dr Russell, You did a reversal on me [In January].  I could say a lot of things, but, to make a long story a lot shorter, I'll get right to the punchline.  We conceived the very first time we had sex post-surgery in March.  That's 35 days from the reversal. [Our daughter] was born, full-term, last week, beautiful and healthy.  Wanted to let you know!  It worked!"  

"Dr. Russell, Thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to meet [our new son]!  He is a blessing from God!  We will be forever grateful to you as well!!"  

"Dr. Russell, [My husband] and I have great news for you- we are 5 weeks pregnant and we go to the doctor April 8^th to see see the baby for the first time.  Thank you so much for making our dream come true.  You are an amazing doctor.”

“Dear Dr. Russell, [My husband] and I are pleased to inform you that less than two short months following his successful vasectomy reversal procedure…we are pregnant!  We are so grateful for your knowledge, your skills, and your dedication to each patient!  Words truly cannot express you thankful we are.  Thank you Dr. Russell!”

“Hi Dr. Russell, Just wanted to say thanks for all your help and success!  We are expecting our first little baby in December!  We couldn’t be more excited!!”

 “Dr Russell, Here are pics of our new bundle of joy.  She was born in February weighing 8 pounds and 20 inches long.  She and mom are doing great.  Mission accomplished thanks to you!  Your handiwork prevailed and now it is time to reverse the reversal and enjoy this baby.  We truly appreciate you and your team- we had a great experience and you should be proud of your entire team.  Thanks again and don’t be surprised if you get a few more pics from time to time.”

“It was a success!!!  Chad and I welcomed our new addition in January.  Add another to the successful procedures count!!!”

“Dr. Russell, We were in for a reversal the end of May and I just thought you’d like to know that we got a positive hpt Thursday!  Only 6 months from our surgery!  We couldn’t be happier.  Thank you!”

“Dr. Russell, We wanted to take a moment to thank you for everything you have done for us.  You reversed [my husband’s] vasectomy and our daughter was just born in December!  Words cannot express how grateful we are!  You have truly made our dream come true.  Thank you again!!”

“Hi Dr. Russell…you did my husband’s vasectomy reversal in January and I just thought I would let you know that almost a year to the day he had his procedure, I gave birth to our baby boy!  We were so pleased with the whole situation and just can’t thank you enough for all you have done!  After waiting 4 months after his surgery before trying to get pregnant, it only took us 2 months to get pregnant!  We were beyond excited and very shocked that it happened so fast!!  The whole pregnancy went so well and now [our son] is 2 months old.  Thank you for helping us to have our miracle baby!”

“Hi Dr. Russell,  Our little girl is almost 4 months old.  She was born [in May], this was 1 year and 12 days after the reversal you performed on my husband.  We couldn’t be happier.  Thank you so much!”

“Dear Dr. Russell, We are very thankful for your expert work during the surgery, and also for your and your staff’s and the hospital staff’s help throughout the process.  Everyone was so nice to us and so helpful.  We just wanted to follow up with you about our happy beginning. I am attaching a couple of pictures of our beautiful baby girl  Thank you again!”

“Dr. Russell, You did a vasectomy reversal on my husband in March of this year.  He had previously had a cyst removed when he was a teenager and you were able to work around the scar tissue and reconnect both of his tubes.  I had an ultrasound this morning and we are happy to announce we are due at the end of June.  I want to thank you for making this possible for us.  Again, thank you for everything!”

“Hi Dr. Russell. Not sure if you remember us but knowing how much you care for your patients I’m sure you do.  My husband had a vasectomy reversal with you last June and we would like to take the opportunity to thank you.  Exactly 6 months post op I fell pregnant!  We never believed we would be lucky enough to have it work let alone so soon.  In August we welcomed out beautiful baby girl.  She is absolutely our miracle baby and love of our life!  Without your help we wouldn’t be home with this precious gift!  Thank you for everything!!”

“Dr. Russell, In June we welcomed our baby boy into our lives.  He weighed 7lbs 1oz and 21in long.  He is healthy and happy!  We want to thank you again for helping us and giving us the opportunity to be parents together.  We are forever grateful! I am attaching a few pictures of our little miracle!  We are truly blessed.  Thank you.”

“Dr. Russell, [My husand] had his reversal with you in May at Kettering.  Here are the pictures we promised!  [Our son] was born in July weighing 6lbs 9oz and 19 ½ inches long.  After a brief stay in the NICU due to sugar issues he is perfectly healthy and doing great.  We cannot thank you enough for helping make our dream a reality. We are forever grateful to you!  Thank you and God Bless.”

“Dear Dr. Russell, You performed a vasectomy reversal on my husband in March.  After some health delays on my part, a move across the country, and a heart breaking early miscarriage- we recently welcomed a healthy baby boy.  We were able to conceive without any assistance.  We are so grateful for the work you do and for your kindness and care.  Work cannot adequately express our thanks.”

“Dr. Russell, My husband and I wanted to send you an email to say thank you for everything you did for us.  I know that it was God’s Divine intervention to bring us to you in our journey to fertility.  We just wanted to give you an update on our new little blessing to the family.  [Our son] is a wonderful little baby boy and we couldn’t be more tickled to finally be parents.  It has been a long journey getting here and we pray that God blesses you for the hand that you played in getting our son here.  It was a long shot with Jeremy’s condition but you remained hopeful throughout the entire process and that helped us more than anyone we had contacted for help throughout the entire process.  You are a great doctor and God has truly blessed you to be able to do what you do.  Thank you so much to you and all of your staff.”

“Dr. Russell, My wife and I wanted to thank you and your staff again for your professionalism and care in helping us get our ‘miracle’ baby here!  God Bless you all and thanks again!”

“Dr. Russell, We want to thank all your staff for being so wonderful.  We were treated wonderfully from start to finish. [My husband’s] surgery was in September. Thank you again for helping us to be able to conceive our son.”

“Good evening Dr. Russell.  [My wife] and I wanted to let you know that a little more than two weeks ago, we were blessed with a healthy baby girl!  She weighed in at 8lbs 13oz and measured 20” long.  Mom and baby are both doing great and we couldn’t be happier!  We couldn’t have done it without your masterful intervention.  So thank you!!  I’m attaching a picture of our precious little miracle.”

“Dr Russell, I want to thank you for reversing my vasectomy.  My wife is 2 weeks pregnant so I won’t need to have a sperm analysis.  She just found out last week, which was 6 months after my procedure.  Thanks so very much.”

“Hi Dr. Russell,  I know my husband sent you an email after [our daughter] was born thanking you for us.  But I just wanted to thank you again.  What a wonderful path you have chosen for your life…providing families with so much love!  I will never be able to thank you enough for making it possible for me to be a mommy.”

“Dr Russell, Hello!  Just wanted to give you a quick update on my husband’s vasectomy reversal.  It was definitely a success, as our daughter was born in June, just one year and 2 weeks from the day of his surgery.  We couldn’t be happier and wanted to say thank you for making her a possibility for our family!”

“Hi Dr. Russell, Just wanted to send our gratitude once again!  We are happy to report we just had our second reversal baby in September.  We are so blessed to have met you and even more blessed with our son and daughter.”

“Hello. Not sure if you got the message from my Reproductive Endocrinologist a couple of months ago, but apparently your surgery worked better than the first one my husband had done!  I am now 14.5 weeks pregnant, and we already know it’s a boy from a private ultrasound earlier this week.  I got pregnant at the end of August, above 7 months post [my husband’s] vas-reversal surgery, and only a couple of months after his semen analysis finally showed sperm had returned.  Hopefully everything continues to go well, the baby is due at the end of May.  Thanks again!”

“Dr. Russell, Last December you performed a vasectomy reversal for me.  It was a success and my girlfriend and I left your office hopeful.  A picture of the results of your work is attached.  My wife and I welcomed twins (conceived naturally) to the world last Monday.  We are already home and doing great so wanted to say a big, big thank you to you and your staff.  You made all of our wishes come true.”

“Dr Russell, Good afternoon, I hope your day is going well.  [My wife] and I just wanted to reach out to you and let you know the good news.  Over the past several weeks [my wife] has had some crazy symptoms and we decided to take a pregnancy test last night and got a positive.  We took another one this morning and got another positive.  Obviously we are shocked and it still feels like a dream.  Words can’t describe how thankful we are.  It has been a long journey and you have made all of this possible.  From day one, you have been so helpful with any questions we had and always followed up with us and we appreciate that.  We are extremely grateful and will keep you posted as we have made an appointment next week for more testing.  Thanks again.”

"Dr Russell, just wanted to take a minute and let you know that we had our baby in May. The child that I was to never ever have because of the [vasectomy] surgery I had done, you were able to make happen.  We truly wanted to say Thank You from the bottom of our hearts."

"Dr. Russell, [my wife] and I have some GREAT NEWS!  We are expecting, so the vas-reversal surgery has officially worked.  [My wife] is currently 13 weeks and counting.  We just wanted to send you and email personally thanking you for helping make our DREAM a reality.  We are very excited and starting to plan everything for the baby before they officially arrive in September.  Thanks again."

 "Dr. Russell, I have great news... my wife is pregnant!  Thank you so much for making this possible.  Your surgical skills speak for themselves, but it's not often you meet a doctor that is so involved with the pre and post surgical counseling and information as you are.  You have always responded to my questions and concerns immediately and I truly appreciate that.  We thank you from the bottom of our hearts."

"Hi Dr. Russell, I just thought that I'd give you and update and let you know that our baby girl is due 12 days after the one year anniversary of [my husband's] vasectomy reversal!  She is scheduled to be delivered May 16th.  Thank you again!"

"Dr. Russell, my husband had a reversal done by you in March.  We just wanted to share with you that we are pregnant and due August 3rd!  We are so excited and thank you just doesn't seem like enough to say to you!  Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping make our dreams a reality!!"

“Dr. Russell,  we are now 21 weeks pregnancy with TWINS!  We have two little boys on the way, due to arrive this summer.  We are incredibly grateful that we were referred to you and for your expertise that helped us achieve our long-awaited dream of having a family when we were starting to feel that all hope was lost.  You are truly passionate about what you do and it shows!  Thank you for all that you do to help couples like us who feel that they may never have biological children of their own to achieve their dreams of having a family.”

"Dr. Russell, my husband has a vasectomy reversal after 11 years on May 2nd.  As of August 16th I am pleased to announce that we are now 8 weeks and 2 days pregnant!  This has been a true (and very fast) blessing send by God.  We want to thank you for the excellent patient care yourself and your staff gave us.  This would not have been possible without you!  We look forward to providing a picture in the very near future of our miracle baby!  Thanks again for all that you do!"

"Dr. Russell, we would like to thank you for all of the wonderful care you and your staff provided.  You performed a vasectomy reversal for my husband, and we knew that the odds were not necessarily in our favor as his vasectomy was 14 years ago.  After 8 months of trying, we were pleasantly surprised on Thanksgiving Day to that we were pregnant!  We had our healthy beautiful baby girl in July.  We are forever grateful to you and may God bless you!  Our dream of having a baby would not have happened without you!"

“Dr. Russell,   I don't need any more follow up appointments.  My wife is 4 weeks pregnant!  Thank you.”

“Dr. Russell,   So many thanks to you!! We are having a baby!!! Only 2 months of trying after the procedure!!  Wait no- basically trying the first month pretty much because of recovery time. Ha! Oh my gosh, just amazing we are so excited and happy and thank you so very much.”

“Dr. Russell,  I have good news for your statistics...we won’t be needing a semen analysis.  I found out yesterday that I’m pregnant! Thank you!  Thank you!  I am very early as I’m only about 5 days past my period due date – but very excited.  It’s too early to tell people but thought I’d share the news with you! Thanks again!”

"Hi Dr. Russell, please see the attached pictures of our baby girl.  We were tickled to death how fast she was conceived.  [My husband's] surgery was on November 7th, and she was born the following November 11th.  Thank you for your help!"

"Dr. Russell, thank you so very much in helping us achieve our dream of having a family, and for helping us expand our family.  We have 2 healthy beautiful girls because of your help.  Thank you again."

 “Dr. Russell,  we just wanted to say thank you to you, your staff, and everyone at the surgery center at the hospital. You did Jason's surgery in June, and we were married the next day. It was stressful, but wonderful for us. On our 2 month anniversary we received an amazing anniversary gift, we found out we are pregnant. We are approximately 4 weeks pregnant. So, we wanted to let you know how thankful we are for your help and wanted to share our news with you. Thanks again.”

 “Dr Russell,  In early April you reversed my vasectomy. Good news!!! My wife is 7 weeks pregnant. She has her first doctor's appointment on 7/16. I wanted to thank you for your help.”

“Dr. Russell,  In February you performed a reversal on me, and 5 months later, she tested positive for being prego!!  What a Blessing and when you told me it all looked good, I doubted as the doctor who performed the big V told me, it could not reversed, you tend to believe the negative... but you reassured me and sure enough, it worked... Thank you so very much.  I am very very grateful for you and your skills.”

“Dr. Russell,  Thank you for everything!  Your care and treatment changed our lives forever- we have twins on the way!  Thank you for helping make our dream of having a family a reality!”

 “Hi Dr. Russell,  we wanted to let you know that the vasectomy reversal you did in December was successful.  I am 6 weeks pregnant, due on Valentine's Day!  Thanks so much!”



"Dr. Russell and staff, thank you (again) so much for helping us achieve our dream to have a family.  You are all such caring individuals that have helped us through our trials and tribulations of infertility.  We are happy to announce we are expecting the arrival or our 2nd baby on August 29th.  Thank you so much!"

"Dr. Russell,  I am writing to say that we have not done our 3 month analysis because as confirmed by ultrasound as of last night I am 6 weeks pregnant.  We are so happy and very pleased with everything. I know its early and anything can still happen at this point but we know that the reversal at least worked.  We want to thank you for everything, and for the personal time you spent calling us back and answering our questions.  We really appreciated your hospitality and making us feel very comfortable through everything. The staff at the hospital was wonderful as well.  I will definitely recommend you to anyone who finds themselves in our situation.  Thank you again!!"

“Dr. Russell, [my husband] had his reversal this past February with you at the Dayton office.  We just wanted to let you know that we are expecting and are very thankful/blessed to have found such a wonderful doctor/staff.  We have also passed your name to other couples in similar situations.  Thanks again.”

"Dr. Russell, Myself, along with my Girlfriend, wish to extend the warmest thank you to yourself, your office staff, and the hospital staff in regards to my reversal last week. We were very impressed with the care and professionalism we were treated with, during what was a difficult and nervous time for me being so far from home. We cannot thank you enough. The surgery center even called me Thurs to not only see how I was doing, but also said that the nurse who took care of me forgot to send me home with extra gauze pads. On her day off (Thursday) she called the center to inform them of this and they, in turn, told me to stop in to get some before we left. Also, someone from your office called me Thursday to check on me too! Throughout this whole process you have been great.  From your timely responses to my emails to the time you spent with us the day of surgery surely put as at ease about the whole process.  Even the hotel and their staff were great.  Everything just went perfect Doc and we owe it to you.  Please pass on my thanks to all involved as you all are very deserving.  Thank you again!!"

"Dr Russell, thank you for our vasectomy reversal baby!  You never abandoned us after the vasectomy reversal in September, and we conceived naturally in February.  You are the reason for our miracle.  Thank you for your patience and time- we are forever greatful!"

"Dr. Russell, [Our baby] finally arrived in February.  She is healthy and continues to thrive.  She is truly a blessing and I can't thank you enough for making this possible.  I promised to send a picture after her delivery.  You will always be fondly remembered with assisting us with bringing our bundle of joy into this world.  We are truly blessed.  Thank you."

“Dr. Russell, we wanted to send you an email to let you know that we are expecting!  There are not words to thank you enough for helping us to build our family.  We are so happy that the reversal was a success and so excited for our future.  Thank you again!”

“Dr. Russell, here is a picture of our little one- 11 weeks old and everything is looking great and healthy! Thank you so much for everything.  You have made all of this possible.  Thank you for being the best Dr. and nurses I have ever had the pleasure of visiting with!”

“Dr. Russell, I just wanted to check in with you and let you know that [my husband] will not be coming in for his [first post-reversal] semen check up… because I am 8 weeks pregnant!  I cannot thank you enough for all you have done for us.”

"Dr. Russell, We have recently learned that [my wife] is about six weeks pregnant. We couldn’t not be any happier with this news, and it's all thanks to you. I just want to tell you how much we appreciate what you have been able to give us back. [Out daughter] is due November 3rd and when she delivers we will be sure to send a picture of our new found bundle of joy."

“Dr. Russell, Not sure if [my nurse] had the opportunity to email you, but you are at the top of my list to share the good news.  You had performed an extraction on [my husband] approximately one to two years ago.  Per strong recommendations from medical professionals due to my age and the number of years since his vasectomy (17 years), I went through the IVF process without success.  As a last resort, we consulted with you again and decided to try the reversal in September which was successful.  Following the healing periods, we concentrated on timed intercourse beginning in January.  I was pregnant in February, but miscarried due to a chromosomal abnormality after 8.5 weeks.  After recovering from that, and on our first attempt in June, I am now pregnant.  The baby is healthy, so far, and I am nearing 5 months.  I turned 42 in August and all seems to be going well without complication.  You came highly recommended and I can’t say ‘thank you’ enough!  If it wasn’t for you and your level of expertise, this would never be a reality for me.  This means so much to me and words cannot express my level of gratitude.  The warmest thank-you goes out to you for all that you have done to assist us in a successful pregnancy”.

"Dr. Russell, I wanted to let you know that the reversal completed on [my husband] in August has resulted in a positive pregnancy blood test on December 5^th.  At this point we plan to stop the medication and are skipping the sperm analysis test!  Thank you so much for helping us start a family."

"Dr. Russell, thank you for everything!  Your care and treatment changed our lives forever- we have twins on the way!"

"Dr. Russell, [My wife] and I thought you might like to see a few photos of our new little girl born in January at Bethesda North, 6lb. 8.1oz, 19 1/4.  Thank you so much for your help.  We'll be forever grateful!"

“Dr. Russell, Thank you for helping us along this difficult journey.  Our baby girl is truly a blessing.”

"Dear Dr. Russell, we would like to take this opportunity to share the last year and a half with you.  We came to you with hopes of starting our own family.  My husband has two children from a previous marriage and I have three.  We wanted a child together, but were worried a vasectomy reversal would not work.  It did!  In August you performed my husband's reversal and nine months later we became pregnant.  We wanted to to thank you over and over again for your help in letting us start our own family!  You answered our prayers and we are forever grateful."
