Finding your surgeon from among all those tubal reversal doctors will at times seem like such a chore. After all, there is much you do need to know about to make the best decision for you. The following paragraphs will help you with this effort.

Although there are many facts you will want to learn about each doctor you are reviewing, perhaps the most important can boil down to 1) does he listen to you and respond to you, and 2) what do other women have to say about him. You will find that having a caring doctor goes a long way to making your experience better.

But to begin at the beginning, you will want to know about his education and training. What schools did he attend? Where did he do his residency? Who trained him to be a tubal reversal specialist? Does he specialize in tubal reversals?

Next you want to know about his experience. How many of these surgeries does he do weekly? Or are you going to have to ask for yearly? By that, I mean he can only tell you he has done two surgeries in the last year so a weekly number is not something he can produce.

And you will want to know about the rest of his staff. Does he work with the same group of people for all his surgeries? This means they will know what to expect and they work very well with the doctor you are reviewing. If he only does a surgery or two a year, you know the staff from nurses to anesthesiologists are not the same people each time.

All the above are important but maybe one of the most important things, as I alluded to above, is whether or not he responds to your questions. Or does someone at least from the office answer your questions and concerns? Do you get the feeling they really care about you as their patient or are you simply another paycheck? How easy is it to communicate with the doctor and his staff? Do they provide more than just the phone as a means of contact?

You also want to know what other women who have had the surgery think. You want to know their experience with the doctor you are reviewing. Surely you have some way of checking. Are there testimonials on his website? Can you talk to these women through a message board? Will some even let you contact them through email? This latter may be something you can do through the message board.

Who knows which of the tubal reversal doctors will be the best for you but at least now you have something to get you started. In my opinion, having a doctor who listens to and responds to you will be for the best as long as his training, education and experience back it up. That’s where the recommendations from previous patients will help.
