Dr. Berger’s Comment

One of the many things that makes tubal reversal surgery safe and comfortable at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center is the close coordination among the professional staff who work together every day. This makes the tubal reversal procedure go smoothly and without any unnecessary waste of time for the patient who is under anesthesia. It is like a finely tuned orchestra, with each player knowing exactly what the other is doing. This coordinated team work comes only with constant repetition. The surgical and anesthesia staff at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center practice together each day, and doing four procedures a day allows us to work toward the goal of perfection in patient care. It is the goal that we all strive for each day, with each patient, and each tubal ligation reversal. Other doctors and nurses who have visited our facility are amazed at how quickly patients recover from their operations.

Rhonda Brown RN Says: April 22nd, 2008 at 6:39 pm I think that it is comforting to patients to know that the person who is in charge of their anesthesia sees each patient as an individual and develops a plan of care specifically for that patient. Teamwork is an important element in exceptional patient care and that is the one thing that comes to mind when I think of Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center.
