Testimonials

Dear Dr. Werthman,

Thank you for your service to my family. 2 years ago, you performed a reversal on me, 15 yrs after the original vasectomy. We waited 1 yr to start trying due to professional obligations. After 3 months of effort, (hardly the right word for it, ha ha), success was achieved and I sit here with a beautiful daughter in my arms. My wife and I thank you for helping us achieve this blessed occasion.

Dear Dr. Werthman,

I just wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude. You performed a vasectomy reversal on my husband Will in early December of 2012. We began trying to conceive in February (2013). Despite telling myself to disregard the myths about reversals, I had some lingering worries about our chances of success, given that the original vasectomy had been performed over 13 years ago and having passed my 35th birthday. . .by May we were expecting!! Our baby girl is due early next year. As I sit here, she is diligently wriggling away. I cannot begin to tell you how grateful we are for your skilled work and the gift you have made possible! From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU!!

With deepest gratitude,

Catie and Will Finley

Dr. Werthman,

Needless to say, but you’re awesome. Thank you!

Dr. Werthman,

This letter comes to you with great joy. We welcomed our baby girl into the world on August 16th at 4:04 am. Her name is Regina Lee Roberts and her nickname is Reggie reggiePeople are always amazed when they hear our story. How I went through five IVF’s and my poor husband had three painful extractions to obtain semen. Being told by our fertility doctors that a reversal would likely not result in conception due to the length of his vasectomy, 16 years and his body would produce anti sperm antibodies. Boy were they wrong… Thank you Dr. Werthman for your steady hands, superior knowledge in your field and confidence. I think you yourself were surprised when we called to inform you the good news that we were pregnant after only 33 days post surgery. When typically we were told it could take anywhere from three months to a year. Again thank you!! I know you have a lot of patients but I thought you would enjoy hearing from us. Sincerely,

Alida, wife to Douglas R. Jr.

I write this letter only in small part to thank Dr. Werthman and his supporting personnel- my main motivation is to help the next person in need of a great urologist.

Before finding and settling on Dr. Werthman, I spoke and met with numerous other doctors (also of high repute I should add) about a reconnection and especially a solution to my post -vasectomy pain (vasectomy performed at family planning 2009) which was a complicated matter not due to the usual causes. Most did not listen at all, others even suggested frighteningly unnessesary procedures. With each new doctor, I only felt worse about my predicament.

Had I not through good fortune found myself in the office of Dr.Werthman, I doubt my nightmare would have been alieviated. From beginning to end my experience with Dr. Werthman was a pleasant one. His office staff have been with him a long time and their experience comes through. My consultation with the doctor himself was a meeting with a human being who cared about my individual case, not the usual sit-down with a distant expert selling skills and procdures. In response to my questioning Dr. Werthman spoke positively of his proffession, and I got the sense that his daily work takes on more the aspect of a life mission. He was the only one who during the initial exam identified the probable cause of pain and proposed a solution that made sense.

Later, during a successful recconnection Dr Werthman indeed took care of the problem which he had previously diagnosed correctly. Several hours afterward he called me personally to check on my well-being- I was pleased to report that all was well and that with only an ice pack the post-op pain meds were surprisingly unnessesary.

I should mention also that the top-notch facility where the work was performed, Specialty Surgical Center of Wilshire, employs a team of personnel that made me feel exceedingly well cared for, not soley for their proffessionalism, but also because of a disarmingly warm bedside manner which although unnexpected was very much appreciated. To the patient (which was me!) everything matters, and it was a great comfort to see that everything mattered to them as well.

I now feel as if I had a new lease on life, like a trapped animal newly freed, and in some small way reborn. My deepest heart-felt thanks to Dr Werthman and everyone involved in ensuring the success of the operation and the end of a dismal three-year ordeal. This is what good western medicine is all about, and I trully feel blessed for having recieved it.

I am aware that testimonials generally consist of only a few lines and sometimes read like book-review hype, and surely any that contain high praise for Dr.Werthman are certain to be true. However, I chose instead to offer a more detailed and personal account of my experience so that others might have the good fortune to arrive at the same decision that served me so well. Normally I think I would have ended this by saying ‘take care and good luck to you’, but if you have already found Dr. Werthman then that may be all the care and luck you need. So instead I will only say: take it easy, relax- you really are in the best of hands. Sincerely,

Eric, Aug 2012

Just wanted to say Ten Million thank you’s from Jonna and I. Thank God he made people like you. When everyone told her, your eggs are old, not a chance. You said “No Problem, we can reverse you”. Well our little Angel, Coco Marie was born at 6:34am today. God Bless you!

Thank you so much for the surgery you did on my husband. It is such a blessing to have a child of our own. My husband has good genes and it would be a shame to waste them. We will probably go for a second child soon so we will let you know how that turns out also. Thanks again!

Dr Werthman is by far the best doctor I have ever seen for any reason. My husband suffers from chronic testicular pain that had remained undiagnosed for 3 years by the army. In less than 5 minutes Dr Werthman gave my husband a diagnosis, and within 3 days my husband was FIXED. We owe everything to this man and I cannot say enough to express my gratitude. Worth every penny. If you have any problems with your male reproductive “parts” , then go see Dr Werthman. You will not find any better. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!Extemely wonderful, he treated me with compassion and sincerity. He is highly trained and fully committedd to his work in helping people to fulfill their dreams in becomming parents. I woudl recommend him to anybody!

Dear Dr. Werthman (Phil):

I would like to first start off thanking you for all the help you provided me in getting back to feeling myself again! If you recall, I was suffering from Post Vasectomy Pain Syndrome back in November of 2005 when I contacted you. After speaking to you via email/phone, as well as speaking with one of your formal patients who suffered from the same syndrome, and doing extensive research, I decided to fly out to CA to have the reversal procedure done. It was the best decision I ever made.It has been almost exactly 1 year since the surgery (January 24, 2006) and I feel 100% better. It took awhile (around 7 months) before I felt considerably better, but now I am able to do all the things I used to do before my vasectomy in November of 2004. I would like to sincerely thank you for all that you did for me. You showed considerable compassion/patience while answering all my post-surgery emails, getting me in touch with former patients (David and James) and talking me through this life changing procedure. If you ever have a patient that would like to talk to any of your former patients, please don’t hesitate to call me. I would be delighted to talk to them about my experience with you and your entire organization (Jim included). You run an extremely impressive practice, and I can’t say enough about my whole experience. Please let me know if you ever need anything.

Dear Dr. Werthman,

I am pleased to announce the arrival of my son, Brendon Hayes, born on December 9th, 2006! I wanted to write to thank you for all your help – you performed a vas reversal on me in early 2002. My wife and I were married in February 2005 and now have our first child. It would not have been possible with out your help, and we sincerely thank you for that. Happy Holidays!

Dr. Werthman,

Marshall and I wanted you to be one of the first to know that the vasoepididymostomy that you performed on him in May 2005 was a success! I am 5 weeks pregnant with due date of July 16 2007. I researched and was so lucky to find you and your staff. It was a bit overwhelming to make the trip there and especially back from Memphis but it was all worth it. You and your staff returned every call and answered all of our questions. It wasn’t as though you did the surgery ,got paid, and it is over from there. Instead, you showed concern and was always there for us. You have no idea how much this means to us. Thank you for touching our lives and allowing a dream of ours to come true.

Dear Dr. Werthman,

Thank you for your skill and experience in helping bring our daughter into this world. We will be eternally grateful for giving us this wonderful miracle.

Dr. Werthman,

We just wanted to share another success story with you. We came to you for surgery on November 8, 2005, and after a pain-free and easy 1 month recovery, we started trying in mid-December and were pregnant right away (40 weeks starting Dec 29). Braden William was born 10 days early on Sept 26, 2006, and we couldn’t be happier with our new bundle of joy!

Thank you so much for helping us to complete our family and we would happily recommend your practice to anyone seeking another chance to complete theirs.

We wanted to send you a picture of Cooper Douglas Lawrence. He was born on May 12, 2006. He weighed 7 lbs 5 ounces and was 21 inches long. Cooper and Suzanne are doing great! They both came home just 24 hours after his birth.

The reversal obviously worked after over 20 years since my vasectomy.

Another happy ending!!

Dear Dr. Werthman,

We’re writing you this belated thank you for your excellent work. When we first contacted you, I was a second year medical student at Syracuse Health Science Center, and Paul was a forensic pathologist for Onondaga County. We traveled from Syracuse to Los Angeles in November 2002 for a bilateral vasovasostomy. Early in 2005, we succeeded in becoming pregnant and recently gave birth to a full-term healthy boy, Gabriel Yoon G., on December 14.

Thank you so much for your excellent work. We appreciate the difference you have made in our lives!

Dear Dr. Werthman,

You will soon have another vasectomy reversal success baby to add to your photo wall. Reversal was performed on April 1, 2005, we started trying a little early on April 25th, conceived around last week in June, (within 2 months), and due date is March 17, 2006, although might come a little early. Baby is healthy and all is well so far. Will let you when our baby boy arrives. We have discussed this being our last child, although we would like some information on sperm retreival and storage just in case. I want to have you perform my vasectomy soon after the baby is born. I am counting on this being painless and as easy as the reversal. I had no pain or complications whatsoever on the reversal. You will be highly recommended by myself. Please email or forward us some information and pricing on vasectomy and sperm storage. Please update your records with the information below. Thanks so much and I look forward to hearing from you.

Dr. Werthman,

Thank you for our best Chrismas present ever! You were able to reverse David’s vasectomy after 17 years and we conceived almost a year to the date of surgery. Little Alex was born full term, happy and healthy. Couldn’t have done it without you and we will be forever grateful. All the Best

Dear Dr. Werthman,

My husband, Martin P., came to you for a vasectomy reversal Feb. of 1999. The surgery was a complete success and we have been blessed with a beautiful, healthy baby boy. I don’t know how I can even begin to tell you how grateful we are to you. You are an amazing doctor and because of you we were able to have a child. It is such an incredible thing to go from the fear of never having a child to hoping the surgery will be a success to disbelief that it actually worked. You make peoples dreams come true. Having a child is an amazing, wonderful thing. Thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to experience that together. Our love and thanks always

Martin And Erika P.

Dr. Werthman,

In Feb 99’ you did a vasectomy reversal on my husband. The surgery was successful and we had a baby boy in Aug 00’. After Zackery we decided that was it for us-our family was complete. Well, three years later we are blessed with a beautiful baby girl. She was our little surprise, but absolutely loved none the less. We were pretty amazed that four years after his surgery we conceived without even trying! Thank you for giving us the opportunity to have such an amazing family. We are so thankful every day for the two beautiful children we were able to have — thank you! Love

Martin, Erika, Zackery And Taylor P.

Dear Dr. Werthman,

You can file this letter under testimonials, or perhaps under synchronicity. Your medical records no doubt show that on 10 December 1999 you performed upon my person a vasovasostomy. This letter is to inform you that on 10 December 2000, my wife Francis gave birth to a healthy baby daughter who goes by the name on Amy Laurel (photographic proof enclosed). Annie was born weighing 9 pounds 12 ounces, and weighs 11 pounds as I write this (her age being not quite one month) The obvious medical explanation for her size is that the egg was fertilized by a large sperm. And of course, the presence of the large sperm is a testamonial to the quality of your work. But seriously, I am sure that the receipt of this letter from pleased parents is a mundane occurance around your office. Rest assured that Annie’s birth, and the medical expertise that made it possible is viewed in these parts AS ANYTHING BUT. With sincere thanks

Steve V.
