The Gold Standard in Vasectomy Reversal Surgery
​
Vasectomy reversal is our sole focus and expertise. Dr. Daniel personally performs every surgery—there’s no question about who will be handling your procedure. Unlike other clinics that offer a range of services, we specialize exclusively in vasectomy reversals, ensuring the highest level of care in our dedicated outpatient facility.
​
With over 30 years of experience, Dr. Daniel has successfully reconnected every vasectomy he has encountered, even cases deemed impossible elsewhere. We strive to keep costs as low as possible without compromising quality, and owning our facility allows us to provide a more comfortable, efficient experience—no long waits, no unnecessary substitutions, just expert care.
​
You deserve the best. We’re confident you won’t find better care or service anywhere else, and we look forward to proving that to you.
Urology is the only specialty that provides specialty training in vasectomy reversal surgery.
Precision in Every Detail
At Carolina Vasectomy Reversal, we believe that the smallest details can make the biggest difference. From the lighting to the sutures, and even the number of sutures we use, we use only the best practices to ensure your procedure is as successful as possible. We invest in top-tier equipment and surgical supplies to provide you with the highest level of care, because you should not settle for less than the best.
LED Lighting for
Safer Surgery
We use LED lighting instead of older halogen lights, which generate too much heat and can dry out the vas deferens. LED lights provide optimal visibility and help protect delicate tissues during surgery.
Bilateral Reversals for
Better Results
Some clinics advertise low prices but only reverse one side or cut costs where it is important. We always reconnect both sides, doubling your chances of success. Since one testicle may function better, restoring both ensures the best possible outcome.
Only the
Highest-Quality Sutures
Not all sutures are created equal. We use only premium, brand-name micro-sutures designed for precision and durability. Cheap or outdated sutures can fail, and surgical glue is not FDA-approved for internal use.
Experience & Expertise
Matter for Your Success
When choosing a vasectomy reversal specialist, experience and training make all the difference. Dr. Daniel was board-certified by the American Board of Urology and has dedicated his entire career to vasectomy reversals—this is all he does. He believes this is his life’s calling and takes pride in being highly skilled in every aspect of the procedure.
​
Years ago, hospitals charged over $30,000 for just their part of vasectomy reversals, making it nearly impossible for doctors to gain hands-on experience in a teaching setting. Today, very few surgeons receive proper training in this specialized procedure, which makes expertise even more valuable.
Advanced Training & Precision Techniques
Dr. Daniel’s journey started during his residency when his program director recommended specialized microsurgical training. He began by his microsurgical training on female lab mice—whose Fallopian tubes are similar in size to the human vas deferens—before advancing to even smaller male mice vas deferens, requiring extreme precision and very high magnification. No one does this. His skills quickly set him apart, making him a leading expert in male reproductive microsurgery.
​
Today, Dr. Daniel is one of the few surgeons in the eastern U.S. who can perform both Vasovasostomy (standard reconnection) and Vasoepididymostomy (a more complex technique that bypasses blockages) and he does not charge more for one or the other. With over 30 years of experience and thousands of successful procedures, he has never encountered a vasectomy he couldn’t reverse.
Don’t Risk Your Future on Inexperience
Achieving the best results requires years of training—not just a weekend course or limited university exposure. Some providers offer vasectomy reversals with minimal experience, which can permanently affect your outcome. Dr. Daniel’s expertise ensures you receive the highest level of care and the best chance for success.
Vasectomy Reversal Success, Even after 52 years!
We’ve successfully performed reversals on patients up to 52 years post-vasectomy! While some doctors won’t perform reversals after 7 years, we’ve seen great success even with longer gaps. We don’t charge extra based on the time since your vasectomy, though the procedure is frequently more complex the longer it’s been. We specialize exclusively in vasectomy reversals, without offering other services.
​
Your Comfort is Our Priority
We strive to make your vasectomy reversal procedure as comfortable as possible. Our routine methods make this a very comfortable procedure for most. Most everyone says their vasectomy was far more uncomfortable. We use only local anesthesia with oral sedation in our outpatient facility. While some may believe general anesthesia is necessary for this procedure, it’s not. In fact, we avoid it for several key reasons:
​
-
Safety: General anesthesia carries far more risk, including temporary paralysis of your muscles, and taking control of your breathing can be unsettling and more dangerous.
-
Cost: General anesthesia adds significant cost without any additional benefit. Once the medication wears off, pain relief stops immediately.
-
Precision: Without a ventilator, we can and do use higher magnification with our Zeiss microscope, allowing Dr. Daniel to perform the procedure more precisely. The natural movement of your diaphragm when breathing normally causes much less motion than with ventilation during general anesthesia, minimize unnecessary scrotal motion during surgery.
Local anesthesia provides effective pain relief during the procedure and can last for about an hour afterward, with a smooth transition as it wears off. The oral sedation helps you relax and reduces movement during surgery, making the entire experience more comfortable. While the goal is not to put you to sleep, most patients find themselves resting or drifting off during the procedure as they realize they won’t feel pain.
Affordable Vasectomy Reversal Without Hidden Costs.
We understand that the cost of a vasectomy reversal is an important factor, and we want you to feel confident in your decision. Our goal is to provide high-quality care at a fair price—without surprise fees. There are no "too good to be true" baiting tricks. We believe in being upfront about costs, so you can focus on what matters most: your health and the success of the procedure.
Affordable, Transparent Pricing for Vasectomy Reversal
Carolina Vasectomy Reversal was founded to offer couples an affordable alternative to hospital or surgery center pricing for vasectomy reversal surgery. When you inquire about the cost, most surgeons will quote only their fee. However, once all the bills come in, there are additional charges, such as facility fees, O.R. charges, supplies, anesthesia, microscope rental, and recovery room fees.
Some doctors may promise a “guaranteed” success rate, but we do not. Here’s why:
-
In medicine, nothing works 100% of the time and most guarantees don't really mean much or intentionally deceive.
-
Would you trust a surgeon who didn’t perform everything with absolute precision, even if there was a “guarantee”?
-
Some patients return to regular activity too soon, which can damage the repair. There are simply too many variables in surgery to pretend this can be done.
Your healing process is out of our hands. Factors like smoking, physical activity, work, and even resuming sexual activity too early can affect the success of your procedure.
WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Trevor J.
March this year I went and had this procedure done. He is a great doctor, very careful and explains everything. I had plenty of questions weeks and months later and he always answered me. Well today is November 12 and my wife is 6 weeks 4 days pregnant.
Jasmine M.
My husband had a vasectomy done almost 10 years ago. I did research and found Dr. Daniel. We had our appointment Jan 2023. We were informed by Dr. Daniel on everything to be expected during and after the surgery. The staff was great. My husband healed up very well with no issues. March 2023, we got our 1st positive pregnancy test. Currently, we are 17 weeks.
John P.
I had a vas reversal at the end of May with Dr. Daniel and it is October 25th and my wife is 12 weeks pregnant. The procedure went extremely well, I knew exactly what to expect when I got there, and the price that was quoted was exactly what we paid. I am extremely happy that we came in contact with Dr. Daniel and we are blessed to have the opportunity to have children again.
-
Is a vasectomy reversible?Yes! Almost always! While some physicians may think otherwise, almost all vasectomies can be reversed. At Carolina Vasectomy Reversal, we have successfully reversed thousands of vasectomies—even those performed over 50 years ago and countless people who were told that their vasectomies could not be reversed.
-
How soon after my vasectomy can I get a reversal?There is no time limit on when a vasectomy can be reversed although this is frequently misunderstood and misquoted. . The sooner you can make this decision and proceed with reversing a vasectomy, the more likely it is to be successful, but the time since your vasectomy is just one of many variables that contribute to your actual success rate. If you have just had your vasectomy, we recommend waiting 90 days before a reversal.
-
What are the success rates for vasectomy reversals?Success depends on multiple factors, including how your testicles worked before your vasectomy, how your vasectomy was performed, how you take care of the surgery during the recovery period, and how accurately the vas can be put back together. Often large sections might have been removed from your vas which can make the procedure potentially more difficult. Your health and that of your mate are also important. Our meticulous microsurgical technique gives you the highest chance of success.
-
Should I consider IVF or Vasectomy Reversal?In the best series, IVF has only about a 20-25% chance of success and is far more expensive. In the 90’s, IVF was less expensive than vasectomy reversal but this is no longer true. With few exceptions, vasectomy reversal will prove to be safer, less expensive, and more effective than an IVF procedure.
-
How much does a vasectomy reversal cost?The cost of a vasectomy reversal varies based on several factors, but we strive to keep our procedure affordable while maintaining the highest standards of care. Our surgical center allows us to offer a lower total cost compared to procedures performed in hospital settings, which can often be far more expensive. In the 90’s we were using a hospital setting and they added on over $40,000 to the cost, which seems incomprehensible. We have never tried to be cheap. We cannot be the best and be cheap. We make this as inexpensive as we can though without cutting any corners that might compromise your success. We require a $2,500 nonrefundable and nontransferable deposit to reserve your surgery date. The full cost of the procedure will be discussed with you during your consultation after we have more information, but there will be no hidden or additional charges. Please contact our office for more exact and detailed pricing information tailored to your specific needs.
-
Do I need to travel for the procedure?You need make only one trip here for your preoperative consultation and your procedure, which will be performed on the same day. Most of our patients travel to us from out of town, out of state, or out of the country because we specialize in vasectomy reversal procedures, offering expertise and quality that are not available in most areas.. Even with travel expenses, our cost-effective pricing makes our service highly sought after. To make your trip more convenient, we have partnered with several local hotels to offer special corporate rates. These discounted rates are available for patients traveling to South Carolina for their procedure, helping to make your stay more affordable, convenient, and comfortable. Please contact our office for more details on the hotels offering such discounts before booking your reservation. If you are able to do so, staying in town the night prior to surgery and the night of your procedure is optimal. The Savannah airport (SAV) is about 20 minutes away and I-95 is about 6 miles from the office. We believe in providing not only top-quality care but also a seamless experience from start to finish.
-
How do I schedule a consultation?To schedule your procedure, simply call our office at 843-705-9500. You’ll speak with an experienced staff member who can answer most of your questions before booking your surgery date. Any questions they are not comfortable addressing will be relayed to Dr. Daniel directly. A nonrefundable deposit of $2500 is required to reserve your surgery date. If you need to reschedule to an earlier date, you may do so if available without an additional deposit. Unfortunately, we cannot postpone or cancel your surgery without forfeiting your deposit, except in very unusual circumstances.
-
How does a vasectomy reversal compare to IVF?Vasectomy reversal is usually more cost-effective and always more natural than IVF. While IVF success rates are around 20-25% per cycle in the best reported series, a successful reversal allows for natural conception multiple times without the added cost of repeated treatments. An exact percentage cannot be accurately stated for everyone as a group since there are so many individual variables, incomplete follow-up, and differences in fertility, but it is unequivocally more successful than IVF.
-
What techniques do you use for the reversal?We use microsurgical techniques and almost twice the magnification that most microsurgeons use, with ultra-fine permanent sutures to ensure the most precise and effective reconnection of the vas deferens. If a more complex bypass procedure is needed, we will perform that procedure and at no additional cost.
-
What happens if my vasectomy reversal doesn’t work?We perform redo reversal procedures from all around the country. These can be as successful as the first procedure if you have failed because of scarring or because the wrong type of procedure was performed. Statistics found on Google are often incorrect. We would prefer to be involved in the first procedure though so that we might be able to make second procedures less necessary. The accuracy of the anastomosis is critical, which is part of the reason we utilize so much magnification. Even in our hands, scarring can occur as a byproduct of healing and of course, activities during the recovery period can result in injury or damage as well. Our techniques result in very high success rates for both primary as well as for re-do reversal procedures.
-
How long is the recovery after a vasectomy reversal?Recovery varies, but all surgeries require about a 30 day period for adequate healing. That does not mean you have to lay on your back for a month however. We want this procedure to work for you and we need your help in assuring that this will be the case. Returning to heavy labor of exercise too early can be detrimental to your success, which is our primary goal. Resuming sexual activity too soon can also compromise your repair.
-
When can I resume sexual activity after the procedure?We recommend waiting at least 30 days to allow for proper healing. This includes all forms of ejaculation. While full tissue strength takes about 90 days, the 30-day mark is a good balance between recovery and patient compliance.
-
Will I experience pain after the procedure?Some discomfort is normal as with any surgery, but most say their discomfort was far less than it was with their vasectomy procedure. We will provide medications that will be more than sufficient for most men. Ice packs are also very helpful during the initial 48 hours following your surgery.
