As you have not doubt learned elsewhere, many thousands of women start looking for tubal reversal clinics each year when they decide they have made a mistake having their original tubal ligation. If you are one of them, we hope the factors presented below will help you find the right clinic for you

Probably the first thing you want to consider in tubal reversal clinics is whether or not doing tubal ligation reversal surgeries is the only thing done there. After all, if given a choice, do you want to go to a clinic where that is all they do? Or do you want to go to one where they do in vitro fertilization (IVF), vasectomy reversals and who knows what else? Kind of dilutes the experience of the staff, doesn't it? Not only that. I think you will find that the staff just might try to persuade you to the more expensive, yet less successful, IVF. The clinic will simply make more money with that procedure than a tubal reversal because the success rate of each cycle is only about 30% and costs much more than a reversal surgery.

You will most likely also want to know something about how the clinic is accredited. Who has done the accreditation? Does the clinic even have one? Is it licensed to operate as a business? Can you easily find all this information on a website or a brochure from the clinic?

Now you will also want to know the reputation of the clinic and its doctors and staff. Can you check with former patients about how they were treated and what their results were? Will the clinic you are looking at provide this to you? Are they caring or do they make you feel like you are just a number? What type of follow up care do they give? Do they even answer your questions when you call or does it take days and weeks to get a response?

Of course, the clinic isn't actually the one doing the surgery. What is the reputation of the surgeon from this tubal reversal clinic? How was he or she trained and educated? How many of these surgeries has he done in the last couple years? Does he have a good reputation among his patients? Do they say nice things about him? Does he respond to questions from patients or make sure someone does?

Going further into reputation, what are the surgical statistics for a tubal reversal by the doctors at the clinic? Can you easily and readily locate to learn the success rates after tubal reversal given your age, type of tubal ligation, tubes lengths and so on from that specific clinic? If you are going to have someone operating on you for that shot of having another child, I would think you would want to know what your chances of success are.

Although the price can be a very important factor, especially if you have to pay for it, don't let this be the only factor. Prices for tubal reversals vary widely. You can find reversals for a few thousand or more than twenty thousand. Be sure to look at all the factors. You sure don't want to end up with a cheap surgeon who has a lousy reputation or even pay for one that costs more than $20,000 who still doesn't meet well all the criteria above.

Now you have some idea of what factors to research when looking among the tubal reversal clinics available. Get the answers to the above questions and you will have the information you need to make the best decision for you.
