Vasectomy Reversal Success Story Northeast Georgia Urological Associates
Out patient procedure performed with Zeiss operating microscope, microscopic suture and instruments, general anesthesia with Board Certified anesthesiologist, in an accredited urologic ambulatory surgery center by an experienced urologist.
Dr. McHugh performed my vasectomy in October 2012 after the birth of my daughter. In early 2014 my wife and I decided to try for a second child. Dr. McHugh reversed my vasectomy on March 6, 2014. The procedure was completed in a few hours with no complications. I experienced no more pain or discomfort than with my original vasectomy. With in three weeks my wife had a positive pregnancy test and we celebrated the birth of our son on November 14, 2014. I would highly recommend using Dr. McHugh for both vasectomies and reversals.

How would you grade your “biopsy urologist?” Did you keep him or her or did you move on?
Be kind to your urologist-be like Bill Withers-“Let me give you the news, if it feels this good being used…Then use me up.” Don’t discard the urologist, “use” him.
Show some loving to the “biopsy urologist” post. It may behoove you.
I wrote this post some time ago. I had noticed how many times on the various prostate cancer message boards that patients got their diagnosis, made a decision and then went elsewhere. In many of the discussions the “biopsy urologist” was never mentioned, a technician so to speak.
A couple of things. Why not keep the lines of communication open with the original urologist? He or she might be a good resource for the future. In general I don’t think the urologist is “upset,” ” offended,” or “disappointed” if you do something else other than his recommendation, or done by someone else other that him or her. I really believe this, yet I know it’s not true for all. So no reason to burn a bridge. If you have to go out-of-town to be treated (no matter what the…

The “doc”shund is in. Dr. Bree counseling service.
Our boy dachshund Baby Breeder is such a good listener we've nicknamed him Dr.Bree. Here he is counseling a friend of mine who is an anesthesiologist. Note Dr.Bree's signature position on the couch.
Prostate cancer, Boy Scouts, Wood Badge and Matchtop Twenty
Boy don’t make me change my tone….
Years ago I was an assistant scout master in my son’s troop here in Gainesville, Ga. Sam ultimately did achieve his Eagle Scout and as the Grateful Dead said, ” what a long strange trip it had been.”
So to better my ability to help the troop and my son, I agreed to take a “masters of scouting” program known as Wood Badge. This involved four weekends of relatively intense training regarding everything scouting. We were to be at Scoutland (A large parcel of land that abuts Lake Lanier and is home to scouting in our area. It is very nice, large and has lots of land, trees, water and provides all the stuff that scouts need to have and love to do) at 6 pm on Friday and we stayed there until Sunday at 6pm. What you do is dress as if you are a scout and are treated…

Happy Birthday Sammy
A rite of passage in scouting and being an Eagle scout is the two week experience of Philmont in Cimarron, New Mexico. It is supposed to be a grueling and yes intimidating hiking trip through the various landscapes of New Mexico. You have heard of Phillips 66 haven't you and the song "Route 66" well …
The more things change about prostate cancer …the more they stay the same.
It has been about five years since "The Decision" has been published. I am working, minimally I might add, on the next edition. Minimally because very little has changed in the decision process. Yes there are new treatments, the robotic removal is performed better with less problems by more experienced urologists, but this fact remains. …
