Dr. Mark Hickman Dispels The Myths Surrounding The Cost Of Vasectomy Reversal Surgery

Dr. Mark Hickman, MD, FACS, is offering vasectomy reversal surgery in Braunfels, Texas. He is appealing to men who are interested in the procedure to find out more about the currently offered options available on the market and not shy away from getting it due to misconceptions about its cost.

Every year more than 500,000 men in the United States opt to have a vasectomy. It is considered to be the most effective method of birth control because of its long-term success rate of over 99%. It is a relatively quick and painless surgical procedure and can be of two types - conventional (using a scalpel) or no-scalpel vasectomy. Vasectomies are considered permanent but there is a way to reverse them in case the person decides to engage in sexual activity with the aim of having their own children once again.

However, the cost of getting a vasectomy reversed can vary greatly depending on many factors such as the medical provider, the surgeon performing the operation, the technology used, the critical support staff available during the procedure, and others. The range, which can be anywhere from $800 to more than $70,000 according to some sources, causes hesitation amongst those who want to reverse their vasectomy. The pervasive fear is that low-cost surgeries are of lower quality and have a higher rate of failure and have a chance of causing complications. This is attributed to the assumption that low-cost surgeries use older and simpler techniques that let the doctor perform more surgeries in a limited time. It leads people to believe that they need to spend large amounts of money to reverse a vasectomy to ensure that it is a success.

Dr. Mark Hickman says that though there is a hint of truth to the apprehensions, he has developed a fool-proof and time-tested surgical method that manages to bring down the all-inclusive microsurgical vasectomy reversal cost to as low as $3,300 which includes local anesthesia and an oral sedative. The doctor also offers a $4,200 option that is performed under IV sedation and is administered by a Board Certified Anesthesiologist. Both microsurgical options are all-inclusive with no hidden fees.

Dr. Hickman explains how he administers his low-cost vasectomy reversal procedure by saying, “I’ve more than 26 years of experience under my belt as a leading minimally invasive surgeon and I’ve completed more than 1,300 vasectomy reversals. I have mastered the surgery, allowing me to provide high-quality services at an extremely affordable price. I do this because I realize the need for low-cost vasectomy removal options to make it viable for those who just want to experience the joy of fatherhood one more time. Cost shouldn’t be an obstacle in experiencing that enriching, life-changing joy. I have made it my mission to bring down the cost to a level that most people can afford and budget for. Even at a low cost, you are still getting the steady hand of an experienced surgeon for your procedure. There is nothing to fear and you can rest assured that your case is in safe hands.”
