Dr. Mark Hickman Offers All-Inclusive Cost Options for Vasectomy Reversal to Make It More Affordable

Dr. Mark Hickman, MD, FACS, a highly skilled microsurgeon in New Braunfels, TX, is offering two all-inclusive options for the microsurgical vasectomy reversal procedure that he provides. With this all-inclusive offer, patients can be sure there will be no surprises with the cost of the procedure. He has also ensured that the fee he is charging will make the procedure more accessible to more people. The first option will cost $3,300, which includes an oral sedative and local anesthesia. The second option will cost $4,200 and it includes IV sedation that will be administered by a board certified anesthesiologist.

Dr. Hickman has expertise in laparoscopic methods. He has even invented a number of surgical instruments and he is the recipient of a US patent and has gained recognition for his contribution to a number of other vital minimally invasive patents. He wants to emphasize that vasectomy reversal is not only for male patients who want to father a child again but it is also being currently used to fight the onset of male depression after the original procedure. After the vasectomy reversal, patients have noted a return to their more virile days and it seems that they have also experienced a lifting of the “male fog.”

The vasectomy reversal procedure that Dr. Hickman will use involves the microsurgical repair of the vas deferens. He will look for the two ends of the vas, carefully align the lumen of the two ends, and make a watertight closure with fine nylon suture.

He has over 26 years of experience as a minimally invasive surgeon and he has performed over 1,300 vasectomy reversals. He has also “corrected” several reversals performed by other providers. He is also offering his relatively low vasectomy reversal cost to out-of-town patients from other places in Texas and even from other states. He has negotiated exclusive travel deals with local hotels that will allow his patients to benefit from a 50 percent reduction in the cost of their hotel stay.

Dr. Hickman also wants to point out that New Braunfels happens to be also a tourist town. For instance, two of the most attractive rivers in the US can be found in this city in Texas, which means there are a lot of opportunities for fishing, swimming, rafting, and tubing available in the area. New Braunfels also has the biggest water park in the US, which is Schlitterbahn that offers a whole day of entertainment for people of all ages. Also close to the vasectomy reversal center is the quaint village of Gruene. This village has more than 20 shops that visitors can check out. Gruene Hall also provides great music most nights, offering a fun, country dance ambiance.

Natural Bridge Caverns, which is a living cavern, is only 10 miles from the city of New Braunfels and the city of San Antonio is also easily accessible via I-35. In San Antonio can be found the Alamo and the River Walk. Also in this city are the Fiesta Texas - Six Flags and the Sea World of Texas. Six Flags is a theme park that includes DC Comics themed rides and the Joker Carnival of Chaos. The Sea World of Texas offers various kinds of unique animal experiences, such as meeting a penguin and in-water dolphin interactions.

Established in 1988, Dr. Mark Hickman’s clinic is where he applies his pioneering microsurgical and minimally invasive techniques for vasectomy reversal. He obtained his general surgery residency training at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio and it was during this time in his life that he was exposed to the microsurgery methods that were then being used in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. He immediately recognized the various benefits that minimally invasive microsurgery can offer his patients. Thus, he decided to apply microsurgery strategies for his vasectomy reversal practice.
