Reverse Vasectomy Myth 1 – All reverse vasectomy doctors are the same.

FALSE. Despite what you may read online, some reverse vasectomy doctors are clearly better than others.

Remember that your choice of doctor will have a direct impact on the success rate of your procedure. This is why it’s imperative to use the best doctor possible.

Reverse Vasectomy Myth 2 – A website means the doctor is an expert.

FALSE. When doing your research it’s important to take into consideration that the fact a doctor has a website doesn’t mean he or she is successful. Do they offer an abundance of reverse vasectomy information? Do they offer info to answer the many questions you may have regarding your procedure? Does the doctor show evidence of professional qualifications and success rates? This is all extremely important to help you make the right decision which should be based on much more than an online presence.

Reverse Vasectomy Myth 3 – In Vetro Fertilization is more cost effective than a reverse vasectomy.

FALSE. There are numerous studies available proving that a reverse vasectomy is a significantly more cost effective method to achieving pregnancies than IVF.
