"Dr. Russell, I wanted to let you know that the reversal completed on [my husband] on 8/24/11 has resulted in a positive pregnancy blood test on Monday, 12/5. 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, we wanted to send you an email to let you know that we are expecting! Our baby is due in February 2012. 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, 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 2010 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, 2011, 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, [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, Thank you for helping us along this difficult journey. Our baby girl is truly a blessing.”
