I had a reverse vasectomy 4 years ago with Dr Oates. This was 16 years after my vasectomy which due to the passage of time has a low probably of success. The proof of how good he is shows in the fact that we got pregnant and now have a wonderful baby girl. He was easy to talk to, professional and the guy knows his stuff period. It was a long road but he helped us to get here. Thank you Dr. Oates!

I only have positive things to say about Dr Oates. My husband and I consulted with him and found him to be approachable, professional and knowledgeable. He provided clear explanations for our situation, and was upmost professional. If you dismiss Dr Oates according to other negative reviews posted here then that is your loss. Thank you Dr Oates for all that you do!!!

MassHealth pays for out state transgender surgery!

I saw Dr. Oates a number of years ago suffering from a genetic condition that left me sterile. He performed two surgeries as part of an ICSI procedure to retrieve sperm from my testicles. Unfortunately the procedures did not result in a viable pregnancy, but Dr. Oates was one of the most caring compassionate physicians I have ever come across. He did everything possible to help my wife and me at the time to get pregnant. I am astonished to read the negative reviews about him and just felt I had to add my two cents worth.

I'm transgender, male to female. I had an orchiectomy with Dr Oates in September 2017. The results are outstanding. I had an issue during healing that required two follow up visits, both on a moment's notice, and Dr Oates was able to see me immediately both times. My partner and I were both impressed with his manner and wit. Especially the wit, he's a funny guy and a true professional. I highly recommend him.

He just did a genetics testing and made his decision. He didn't even provide me my test results. His staff is so rude. They never pick up the phones in the office and hardly ever return the e-mails you send. I went to him for infertility medicine and decided to go elsewhere afterwards. Do your research. Do not use the services rendered by this doctor.

My husband had a reversal in May of 2015, 13 years from the original vasectomy. Dr. Oates performed the vas-to-epididymis repair on both on both sides (the much more difficult and delicate surgery). Six month later we had 13milion/mL, eight months after the reversal 46 million/mL, and one year and a half later we have 56 million/mL with motility of 32% :). We are doing IVF now, mostly due to the fact that I'm 36 years old already, and I have a health plan that covers IVF after a successful reversal so I don't want to wait, but the reversal was a great success. Dr. Oates's personality is ok, the staff is ok, but at the end of the day it's the results that count and he did an outstanding job. The cost, by the way, was about $8,000. Not the cheapest but worth it.

Dr Oates did what others couldn't. He is a very personable individual and very much skilled. If you want to get a vasectomy reversed, he is the best. I had my vasectomy more than 20 years ago and today found out that the reversal done at the end of July was a success.

Well, we just had our first meeting with Dr Oates, and what can I say...Professional. Honest. Kind. Over the moon smart... all of this with great shoes & a sense of humor! My partner and I are 'in the medical field', and we felt that Dr. Oates was perfect! The staff was professional and courteous. His assistant Erica was more than accommodating when helping us schedule an appointment. He explained everything to us, ensuring we understood the plan of care, and gave us the chance to ask questions, etc. Whether or not we are able to conceive on our own remains to be seen, but we can feel absolutely confident that we chose the right doctor to give it our best shot. You are doing yourself and your partner a dis-service should you choose to visit another urologist...

I encourage you
to think twice before making negative comments about Dr. Oates. Unsuccessful surgeries are not a reflection of him nor his innovative surgical techniques. This process is painful for all adults. Some successful and others not. Nevertheless, the process regardless of outcome is painful.
