Biography
We are one of the top full time, vasectomy reversal only specialty centers in the world, with patients from every state and more than 77 countries. We have a proven, published success of up to 99.5% and successes as far out as 42 years from vasectomy, the world record. With almost 6000 patients over 3 decades, you can trust that you will receive the very best care and highest chances for making your dream come true. Why should anyone settle for less? In addition, we avoid the use of risky, deep general anesthesia by using a mild conscious sedation technique where you are pain-free during and after your reversal. Plus we do not allow doctors in training to participate in your surgery or care. Each doctor limits his practice to only one reversal a day so that you can trust that you will receive his full and undivided attention. This way we are not rushing off to do a second or third reversal nor we fatigued from earlier surgeries. Plus, here at ICVR, we offer no charge sperm banking which will save you between $3000 and $9000. Even after the surgery we are still here for you providing the doctors cell phone numbers as well as access and care for life. In addition, I am the only urologist that teaches the annual course on vasectomy reversals at the international urology Society meeting. Plus I wrote the vasectomy reversal teaching module for certification by the American Society of Reproductive Medicine. We encourage you to call us at 888-722-2929 and find out how we can help you achieve your dream with the very highest chance for success.

After many years of research on reversals, finding Dr. Marks was a huge sigh of relief. With my husband having had a vasectomy 23 years ago, it was great knowing Dr. Marks had a patient with 42 years from vasectomy! We also liked knowing only one surgery is done a day and that the patient is the only priority on surgery day. The care that Dr. Marks does not only prior to and on surgery day, but also after surgery is also pretty amazing. He calls and does a hotel visit to make sure things are good. He's one of the most attentive and thoughtful doctors we've met. Actually, probably the only attentive and thoughtful doctor we've met!
We were very impressed with ICVR from the start, talking with Dawn. She was very patient in answering our questions and helping us schedule the surgery. I'm sure she got tired of my phone calls but she was always so very sweet. It was great to finally meet her in person! Our facetime meeting with Dr. Marks went great and he already treated us likely family. Upon arrival at the clinic, nurse Harold met us and he was absolutely wonderful, genuine and funny. He helped my husband feel at ease and was with him the whole time prior to, time of surgery and recovery at the office. He's truly a great person and loves what he does! The waiting room was comfy and had more than what was needed while waiting. I loved getting updates from Harold during surgery and one of the best parts was talking with Andrea about sperm! She was so much fun and we could have chatted the whole day. Thanks for all your sperm knowledge! Recovery went well with Harold and Dr. Marks making sure my husband was comfortable, eating and drinking. Then it was back to the hotel for rest, ice and sleep. Not once did we feel rushed. We felt like family.
We spoke with Dr. Marks that night as a follow up and then Casey called the next morning to see how things were. Dr. Marks also visited the day after surgery to check on things. It's so reassuring knowing that he genuinely cares for all his patients. The after-care instructions are thorough and easy to follow. Healing is going great. The whole process from start to finish is like a well-oiled machine. We look forward to what the future holds but in the mean time, we can't thank Dr. Marks, Dawn, Harold, Andrea and Casey enough for their attention to detail, knowledge and helping people in achieving their dreams. The ICVR team is top notch and I'm so glad we chose them for this delicate procedure! Thank you!
