Many of our couples have written to tell their story as an inspiration for those considering to have a vasectomy reversed. Take a look at this selection of testimonials.

Dr. Bastuba performed my vasectomy reversal in late July 2009; I wanted to give an update on the results. We are VERY pleased! My wife took birth control for a few months after the reversal, so I couldn't tell you exactly how quick I was fertile, but within 2 weeks from stopping birth control she was pregnant. The baby is due August 19th, 2010. Thanks, S. M.
Dear Dr. Bastuba,
You did a vasectomy reversal in November 2006. Nearly 25 years after my husband's vasectomy, we welcomed our son into this world. He was born June 26, 2008, 10:50pm, 8lbs., 3oz., 22 inches. Thank you!
Dear Dr. Bastuba,
We are so pleased to introduce you to our son Benjamin! Without your expert hands, we would not have been able to have our own biological child. Thank you so much! He's absolutely beautiful & perfect in every way. (Vasectomy reversal 02/2007, conceived naturally 08/2007)
Dr. Bastuba,
My wife and I want to thank you so much!!!! On the 14th of this month we had our second beautiful baby girl. 4 years ago you had performed a vasectomy reversal on me! Thank you all again. (email dated 7/28/08)
Dear Dr. Bastuba,
We are writing you with some good news. You did my husband's vasectomy reversal 01/11/08 and on 06/06/08 we found out that we are pregnant. I'm still in shock, although my husband knew the whole time it was going to work. He said he could tell when we first met you and your level of confidence he just knew you knew what you were doing. It's still early in the pregnancy but we will keep you updated. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts. This is truly a dream come true and I hope you know how much we appreciate you and your staff. Love, T & C.
Male Fertility Specialists ,
... I just had the vasectomy reversal surgery by you late October 08. Found out December 12 08 that my wife is now pregnant. Great job guys, we were very surprised that the reversal procedure would be so effective so soon! Amazing work, thanks again.
This was the easiest surgical procedure I could have asked for. Expert care and great results far sooner than expected.
Dr. Bastuba,
They said it wasn't possible - but here's proof! Words cannot express our thanks & gratitude! We do thank you for your passionate work - We are overjoyed at the result! Reversal after 20 years?!! - WOW!! God bless you! The K. Family
Dr. Bastuba,
The gift God has given to you helped make the birth of our son possible. Thanks for the successful vasectomy reversal procedure. We hope you and your family have a blessed New Year!
Hola! doctor le escribimos mi esposo y yo para darle las gracias por la operacion que le hizo a mi esposo en agosto del 2007 y apesar de que el se practico su vasetomia hace 15 anos, despues de que usted le hizo reversar su vasetomia a los 5 meses pudimos encargar una nina y ahora tengo 4 meses y medio (18 semanas) y esta programada que nacera en octubre 22 2008. Muchas gracias por hacer suenos realidad. Marcela
Thanks to all of you! Especially, Dr. Bastuba!
I now aged 58 years old, had a series of vasectomies and vasovasostomies (forgive the spelling) which culminated with a final vasectomy in August of 1982. Subsequently, I had difficulties with epididymitis. I was sure that over 25 years sterile with complications of damage to my epididymis would render me unable to benefit from any surgery to reverse the sterility.
However, after careful research on the Internet, I became aware of Dr. Bastuba's renown in the field of male fertility. We saw Dr. Bastuba for a bi-lateral vasoepididymostomy in March 2007. After the operation, you may recall my anxious "Bill Nye, the science guy" calls to you regarding sperm count if we were using a 1200X microscope to check my semen. While I was surprised to see sperm in my semen after just 60 days I remained skeptical that the count would ever return to a level that would result in a pregnancy. We monitored my wife's ovulations carefully with ovulation kits. We studied films on pregnancy (most notably, "The Miracle of Life"). We tried to get pregnant thinking it would be very difficult.
My wife's last period started July 26. Her "LH surge" occurred late on August 8 through early August 9. Her first "home pregnancy test" on August 25 read positive. A second test on August 26 read positive. We contacted her OBGYN for an appointment. Her doctor's midwife accepted the two home pregnancy test results as confirmation of the pregnancy. We were scheduled for an ultrasound on September 13. The ultrasound test revealed a heart beat for our viewing amazement. The measurements of the fetus confirm the math: the baby is due around May 4, 2008! We are two months pregnant! I still can not believe it. My wife is beaming with smiles. We are delighted. I don't know what else we can say except again, thank you very much! J & A., September 16, 2007
Dear Dr. Bastuba,
There is so much for us to be thankful for this holiday season. We really
don't know how to adequately express our appreciation for all that you've
done for us. In part, because of your help, our
daughter Emilee arrived September 12th. She has brought so much happiness
and fun into our lives, much more than we ever imagined. We never thought
we could love anything or anyone so completely and so quickly. We would
like to wish you and your staff a most wonderful holiday and thank you
again from the bottom of our hearts for helping us have Emilee, our precious
little baby.

Dear Dr. Marty,
I can't begin to "Thank" you for all your help and guidance you gave us through
the decision process of having my vasectomy reversed. I'm glad that we
looked at all options and decided to go with the vasectomy reversal!
Since January 23, we are proud parents of a little baby boy, Robert James.
Everthing went so quickly after the reversal! Thank you - from the bottom
of my heart to you and your staff. You are all very special people!
M.S.
Hello Dr. Bastuba,
Thank you so much for all that you have done for us. With one afternoon you
changed our lives. Yesterday, I found out that we are expecting! Words
cannot express the gratitude we feel for you and your staff. Everyone was
so friendly and knowledgeable. If only we had come to you earlier! We recommend
you to all our friends who are also baby-making challenged! You are the
best male fertility doctor in San Diego. We will stay in touch and send
more photos later. THANK YOU!

Dear Dr. Bastuba,
My husband and I came to you to have his reversal surgery done last September.
We were not considering that for a long time since we heard from another
doctor that the chances for success were very low after a vasectomy 21
years prior. After the vasectomy, we expected to wait for six to 12 months
before anything would happen. However, in just short of 4 months we got
a surprise! We are pregnant! We are so blessed and we can’t thank
you enough. 21 years after vasectomy! We will send photos after the baby’s
arrival. From the bottom of our hearts we thank you!

Dear Dr. Bastuba,
I want to thank you for taking such good care of my husband. We met right
before you conducted his reversal. After you and I met, all my anxieties
were relieved and I knew you were the right doctor for the job. I thank
you, too, for your care and patience with me, answering all my questions
and allaying my fears.
T.C.
Dr. Bastuba,
You did my husband's reversal surgery in November, and by July, thanks
to you and the Lord, our prayers and dreams were answered. On a beautiful
day in January, Casey blessed us with his arrival. 5 lbs. 3 oz. and 19
inches long into this world he came. I don't know if you hear it enough,
but thank you for being so good at your job.
Michael, Amy and Casey
