We want to thank Midwest Vasectomy Reversals for the excellent care we received throughout the process. Dr. Sommers and his staff were very considerate of our concerns and circumstances. We really appreciated the time Dr. Sommers and his staff spent explaining the entire procedure and answering all of our questions. Dr. Sommers was very kind and professional and the facility was inviting and state of the art. There was very little pain during the procedure and the pain after was very manageable with Advil. We are so thankful to Dr. Sommers and his team for the affordable opportunity to grow our family and would recommend Midwest Vasectomy Reversals to anyone.

Dr. Sommers and his staff exceeded my expectations on all levels. Having flown in for the procedure they made sure I had the right information to find a place to stay and how to get to their office. Dr. Sommers made sure I was well informed of the pre op, operation, and post op steps and procedures. This made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. My reversal procedure was less painful than my original vasectomy! We could not be happier with our choice to go with Midwest Vasectomy Reversals!

The entire experience was very pleasant. The staff was friendly and easy to talk to, explaining every step of the process. They made sure that I was comfortable the entire time I was there, and the pain during recovery was much less than I thought it would be.

I was very nervous about going through with this procedure. I don't even like getting shots. Dr. Sommers and his staff did a great job putting me at ease. The local anesthesia was surprisingly effective. I am even more surprised at how little pain I have felt after the surgery. While pain pills are prescribed, ibuprofen has been sufficient to alleviate my pain through the day. I am very happy with my choice to use Dr. Sommers and appreciate him making the decision to keep this operation affordable when he could easily charge more.

Three weeks and one day out, I feel great and empowered. I’ve been searching for years to find a good doctor who is good and affordable because I wanted to be returned to my old self without breaking the bank. I was a little nervous before the surgery but the friendly doctor and staff kept me at ease and the procedure was done before I knew it. I hope to update soon.

The best experience I have ever had at a doctor's office! Painless procedure, comfortable environment, and a caring staff all made this a much better process than I was expecting. Sore later, but the doctor provided excellent after care instructions and pain meds. We are looking forward to God's blessings of children in the future.

The entire process with Dr. Sommers and staff was a breeze. They made you feel as if you were the only person they were dealing with and realized that your life was about to change with this procedure. They were kind, helpful and welcoming. Dr. Sommers made sure I was comfortable during the procedure and gave me all the necessary "tips and tricks" to deal with the recovery process. We arrived at 7:30 am and were out of there by 9:50am. He sent my wife to the pharmacy to get the prescriptions which made her time pass quickly as well. The low cost of the procedure definitely didn't mean he was skimping on anything. They were all very thorough with explaining everything and making everyone feel at home. Dr. Sommers texted me the next day to check on me, I even had to have some short term disability papers completed for my job as you're not allowed to lift more than 15lbs for 3 weeks after and Dr. Sommers was more than willing to help and stayed in contact with me. He and his staff are top notch professionals. We cannot wait until we're able to report more good news as a result of procedure.

Thank you so much to the team of Midwest Vasectomy Reversals! My experience was wonderful and would recommend to a friend. We arrived and procedure was right on schedule and was done exactly how it was described. We only live about an hour away but we thought it was great how they could do everything for a low price compared to other intuitions. Being under local anesthesia was a little nerve racking but it really turned out great. I was "fixed" for 8 years and now my wife and I were able to conceive another baby within 5 months of the procedure.

Very good experience overall. No pain so no need to use painkillers after the procedure. Very friendly atmosphere and staff. Some bruising and swelling as expected but went away after a week or so. Came to work the very next day after the procedure. I can recommend the clinics and Dr. Sommers to anyone who would ask me for my opinion.

I had my reversal one week ago today (Jan 20, 2014) and I was VERY happy with the entire experience. The office staff & Dr. Sommers were very polite & informative. The procedure itself seemed like it was over in no time. My biggest concern was the anesthesia but it was not a problem at all. Dr. Sommers called after two days to check my progress and I thought that was great for a doctor to do himself instead of having someone do it for him. I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Dr. Sommers and his staff.

I had my reversal performed on January 13, 2014. My vasectomy was approaching 10 years. I found Dr. Sommer's office via the internet. I was drawn to MWVR due to the proximity (3 hour drive), low cost and positive feedback found on the internet. Dr. Sommer's and his assistant were very accomodating and the office was very clean. The local anesthesia was COMPLETELY painless as was the entire procedure. The procedure took about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Both the Dr. and his assistant talked to me the entire time and kept me informed of what he was doing and checking to make sure I felt okay. While each person is different in terms of the amount of time to recover, my recovery time took approximately 3 months until I felt 100%. It was slow but progressive healing. I had the procedure done on Monday and took Tuesday off from work and returned on Wednesday. I have a desk job. In retrospect, I should have taken the remaining week off and laid in bed. For me, standing or sitting too long put pressure on the vas area making it uncomfortable. I waited a full month before having intercourse. My wife and I then started trying to conceive. Since we did not conceive within the first 3 months, I had a semen analysis done on 6/20/14. I got my results back on 6/24/14....I have a very high sperm count and overall results were good!!! Later that day, my wife took a pregnancy test and found out that WE ARE PREGNANT!!! What timing! Dr. Sommers was able to reverse a 10 year old vasectomy and successfully allow a normal to above normal sperm count to once again flow through the vas. For those that have done your research you have surely seen the statistics and medical claims that state if your vasectomy is more than a fews years old the success of a reversal is much lower. I think my story refutes those claims. So anyone seeking a quality experience at a very economical price with successful results should definitely call upon Dr. Sommers!!!!!!

Dr Sommers and his staff are some of the best providers I have ever worked with! I can not even put into words the amount of happiness we feel with going with them. They are so friendly and put you are ease. They treat you like you are family and are truly interested in your story and life and they care about the after math of the procedure as well. I would recommend they to anyone in a heartbeat!

The initial draw factor to Dr. Sommers was his low cost and close location to our home. After my wife spoke with her doctor we decided to follow through with the process. Everything from navigating Midwest’s website to scheduling our appointment was seamless and timely to our needs. I am still recovering from the procedure and looking forward to starting a family with my wife in the near future.

We were looking for an inexpensive way to get a reversal done and most places we could not afford. I found Midwest Vasectomy Reversals online and decided to go with them. After 14 years of having a vasectomy we were not sure how well a reversal would go. To our surprise we were pregnant within a month after the reversal was done. Price was great, they were great to work with on schedule, getting you the information of where to stay, and taking care of both of us during the whole time. I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone. Thank you so much. Alysious Jerome was born Dec 2nd 2013. We are so blessed

My Wife and I were told that the Vasectomy I had was irreversible, something we had always questioned but believed none the less. We got a link from a friend to Midwest Vasectomy Reversals by chance and could not have been happier. We obviously had questions, big questions. How could this be so affordable when compared to the other places we looked at? What about that pain? From the moment we first contacted Dr. Sommer's staff we were put at ease. They answered all of our questions with such confidence it did not take any time to make our decision. Dr. Sommers explained everything in such detail, was very confident and made me feel relaxed and in good hands. As for the pain? What pain? My Vasectomy was significantly worse, I took 1 pain pill 4 hours after the procedure just to be safe but honestly did not need it, never took another one. The only struggle was the not lifting anything post surgery. Glad we did this, extremely happy we chose Midwest Vasectomy Reversals and look forward to having another child. God Bless.

I was nervous when I arrived for my appointment. The staff was so intuitive, they talked with me and eased my anxiety. The discomfort was not an issue thru the procedure. I have a small amount of bruising and following Dr.s orders. The Dr even called to check on me the next day and I had his personnel cell phone number in case I needed him before I left the office. Great staff.

My wife and I give high marks to Dr. Sommers and his staff in all categories. We traveled from Nashville, TN to St. Louis by car, about a 5 hour drive. The procedure went as predicted. No problems with just the local anesthesia. The facility was clean and comfortable, and both Dr. Sommers and his staff made us feel at home throughout the whole process. I can't take any narcotics, so I was a little nervous about the recovery period. I will say that the recovery period was longer than the original vasectomy, but I was able to tolerate it well with just ice and some OTC pain relievers. The trip back to Nashville was uneventful, but I was pretty sore for a few days, although, I was back at work the same week. Most importantly, we were able to conceive very quickly. I had the procedure in early October, and my wife was pregnant before Christmas of that same year. Like I said in the beginning, high marks all around. I have no hesitation to recommend to others.

We traveled 2 1/2 hours to see Dr. Sommers and could not have been more happy. Traveling back home afterwards was not an issue at all. Dr. Sommers prices are very reasonable and his office is great. Very great area of town. During the procedure my husband felt NO pain at all. He stated that the reversal was a breeze compared to the vasectomy. He is three days post op with zero problems or concerns. I would recommend Midwest Vasectomy Reversals to anyone!!

We came to MVR from Chicago and were treated amazing through the entire process. The procedure went very well, exactly as described. The staff helped answer questions and even worked with us to mov up our appointment when one became open. I would recommend Dr Sommers to anyone looking for this type of service. We are expecting a baby around Thanksgiving so we are super excited. Thank you.

I was very pleased to have my reversal done with Dr. Sommers. When I had my vasectomy over 14 years ago, I had some minor complications that made me terrified to get anything done again. Dr. Sommers talked me through the entire process, and was very compassionate with our concerns of getting pregnant. During the procedure, he was always very concerned with how I was feeling, putting in more anesthetic when needed. I was comfortable the entire time. After the procedure, Dr. Sommers put the fluid samples under a microscope to show me. Sperm on both sides! Today is 2 weeks post vasectomy reversal and I am completely recovered. The recovery was a little easier than it was with the original vasectomy. One piece of advice I can pass on it to keep them iced down the first few days. It really helps with swelling and pain. I didn't have to take any of the pain medicine he prescribed. Ibuprofen, ice and rest is all I needed. I felt better about feeling some level of pain so I could be extra careful not to strain myself. We will let you know when we get pregnant for sure! Thank you again Dr. Sommers!

We were kind of nervous about this at first mostly because we had to drive 4hrs. to get there. The office was very easy to find and also Dr. Summers and his staff made me and my wife very comfortable as soon as we walked in the office. The receptionist was very friendly. Dr. Summers was very thorough with the steps of the procedure during our pre-surgery meeting with him. While the surgery was taking place he and his assistant made me feel comfortable making small talk . Dr. Sommer made sure that I was not feeling any pain at all while during the procedure. I would recommend this office yo anyone I know looking to have this type of procedure ..

The experience was a daunting one for me. I had the vasectomy just over 10 yrs previous and so was unsure what to expect in terms of success and also the actual procedure itself. I wont lie there was some discomfort and we had a 700 mile journey home (half the following day and half the day after that) But sat in the back of the car with an ice bag clutched firmly on the obvious area. The actual procedure caused some discomfort but it was tolerable. The staff were wonderful and very accomodating, I had a very specific date in mind and we had that appt. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr Sommers and his team to anyone. So now it has been 6 months since the procedure and this weekend my Wife and I had great news. We're pregnant.

Because of the high prices locally, I chose to travel down to St. Louis from my home in Green Bay. I was so impressed with the personal attention. I felt like I was Dr. Sommers only patient. Everything was real relaxed and simple. He answered all my questions. Once on the table, I was very comfortable. Not once at any time during the surgery, did I feel any pain. And I was talking with Dr. Sommers and his nurse the whole time. Dr. Sommers also does a nice job of being available if you have any questions or concerns after the surgery. He sent me a text back within minutes with an answer to my questions. I highly recommend Dr. Sommers to change your life back to the way God created us.

I was initially hesitant considering the cost of the procedure. Where I live the average cost for a reversal procedure is around $12,000. From the initial office contact to my procedure it was an excellent experience. The office staff was very nice and constantly provided proper instructions and stayed in touch with me up until the procedure date. The procedure went very well. Local anesthesia worked well and I did not encounter pain during the procedure. During the procedure Dr Sommers and his assistant kept conversation with me as well as advising me of each step of the procedure and what was going to happen next. I felt comfortable throughout the procedure and would highly recommend Dr Sommers to anyone seeking a reversal procedure. Also, flying in from another state did not prove difficult. The office was easy to locate.

This was a great experience for my wife and I so far. We drove in from out of town the day before, stayed locally in a hotel and went in for the procedure the next morning. Dr. Sommers met with us prior and explained the procedure clearly and answered all questions. The procedure was right there in the privacy of the small clinic. The local anesthesia worked perfectly and I could only feel light pressure, but no pain. This was probably better than going to the dentist, because I was able to have a conversation the whole time. We were finished in less than two hours and on our way to pick up the antibiotics that were prearranged and ready for pickup right down the road. I'm still healing up for the required two weeks and will be ready to send information when we are expecting. The whole thing couldn't have been easier.

I recently had my reversal done, and came with some fears and anxiety. Memories of my vasectomy were still fresh, and the pain I experienced during the procedure. However, there was absolutely no pain with the reversal. The explanations listed on the website were spot on. Thank you Dr Sommers!

We went so see Dr. Sommers in March 2013 for a reversal and now it is the first week of November and we are 12 weeks pregnant! We can't thank Dr. Sommers and his staff enough for how they changed our life. When I first walked in the office I was nervous and worried to death about how much this was going to hurt and how uncomfortable I was going to be but man was I surprised. Everyone there was friendly and helped calm me down and made my procedure very comfortable and relaxing. At one time I even forgot that I was being operated on. Thanks again Dr. Sommers and I wish you and your staff the best.

Great staff and Dr Sommers was terrific. I went in for my procedure at 7:30 am and was out of there by 10:30 am with minimal discomfort. While there I was made to feel very comfortable. This is the place to go if you are thinking about a vasectomy reversal.

Making the trip (by car) from St. Paul/Mpls to St. Louis to see Dr. Sommers for the reversal was the best decision we've ever made. The usual or expected anxieties were not far from our minds...what was this guy like? How can he charge half as much for the same as the doctor back home? Did this mean he did half as good of a job? Is the local anesthetic enough or should I have chosen someone at a hospital with general anesthetics? Would I be able to get home comfortably? All our worries and troubled thoughts were eased by Dr. Sommers and his staff. Dr. Sommers is professional yet has a quality about him that is comforting. It felt more like a friend from the moment I shook his hand, than a man I was meeting for the first time! Any and all questions were answered before the surgery took place. The surgery was explained in simple terms not medical jargon. The local anesthetic was definitely enough pain control for the surgery, I was quite comfortable the whole time. The administering of the anesthetic was actually painless & easy. I was allowed to "keep in touch" with my wife on how I was doing & what was going on via our cell phones. Dr. Sommers chatted with me during the surgery, also keeping me comfortable. The surgery went well and by no means was the low cost of surgery signs of an inferior surgery. The 8+ hour trip home was comfortable (as can be) and I am recovering. I would highly recommend Dr. Sommers to anyone considering a vasectomy reversal. His skill, knowledge & bedside manner are amazing and he has a top notch staff to back him up.

Dr. Sommers was outstanding. He made the procedure as comfortable as possible. I drove in from Chicago the night before and had my wife drive me home the afternoon of the procedure. Dr. Sommers explained everything about what happened during the operation and what my expectations should be. All I can say is "thank you Doc."

Dr Sommers and his staff were outstanding! Dr Sommers took my wife and I back and completely explained the procedure, then he took the extra time to make sure all our questions were answered. The procedure went very well with no pain. Dr Sommers is a very experienced professional as is his staff. I had the Procedure done in Oct 2013. Feb 2014 my wife and I attempted to conceive, for the first time and I'm proud to say my wife is pregnant with our baby due in Nov!!!! Dr Sommers you have been such a blessing to us. Because of the affordable pricing and your expertise of this procedure you have enabled us to have our dreams of having children come true. Thank you so much! We pray you and your staff receive an Luke 6:38 Blessing! Luke 6:38 (KJV) 38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.

My wife and I came in to town a couple of days early to relax and get the lay of the land. We had a few questions prior to arrival and had great communication with the office that put us at ease. On the day of the surgery I made sure to wear comfortable loose fitting sweat pants (and some warm socks). My wife went out for the antibiotic and pain medication while the procedure was performed. It was uncomfortable at first as the local anesthesia was applied. The pain was really minimal and soon I was numb and did not feel a thing other than a little pressure as Dr. Sommers worked. Both he and his nurse were very professional. We all talked the whole time. I even exchanged a few texts with my wife. When it was over, I was a little sore, but I took medications as directed and slept. My wife went on a couple of food runs and we stayed in the area for a couple more days before driving home. I had the procedure on Thursday and we drove home on Sunday. I’m two weeks out now. The stitches have disappeared. I am recovering great. My wife and I are excited for the possibilities. I have been very satisfied with Dr. Sommers and his staff. If you are serious about having a positive experience with a great doctor who charges a fair price, this is your place. I wish you success!

I was a little nervous driving such a long distance to have a procedure like this done with a doctor that I had never personally met or spoken with but as soon as we walked in the door I knew we had made the right choice. The staff was very friendly, the office was clean and well kept, and Dr Sommer was kind and knowledgeable. He made my wife and I very comfortable and at ease with the procedure.

We traveled from Kansas City to see Dr. Sommers. We made the trip the night before to make our morning appointment. The office and staff are so very friendly and knowledgeable. Tara answered all of our questions over the phone before we came in. We took advantage of the $200 discount by paying in cash the day of surgery. The price in no way reflects a lack of quality. Dr. Sommers was forthcoming in answering all of our questions and easing our concerns prior to, during, and following surgery. While I was in surgery, my wife was able to make a quick trip to pick up my antibiotics and painkillers, along with some frozen peas. She and I kept in constant contact via text messages all throughout the procedure. The local anesthesia was plenty sufficient to control pain during and after surgery. After going through this procedure with such ease, I can't imagine why someone would need general anesthesia or an overnight hospital stay. I was comfortable with Dr. Sommers' calm, relaxed bed-side manner. He performed the surgery with no struggle or anxiety whatsoever. His reassuring nature and professionalism set me at ease. I was in no pain throughout the surgery. We drove home that afternoon before the local anesthesia wore off. I recommend this option if you do not need to fly. I was able to limit my mobility by sitting in the car immediately following the procedure and all the way home had frozen peas to ice the area, and was comfortable. The pain medication and peas made recovery comfortable. There was some swelling and soreness, but nothing meds and peas couldn't help with. It was definitely helpful to have my wife take care of me so I could remain sedentary for the first few days. I was only off work for four days, and back at full functioning within two weeks of the operation. Overall, it is as good an experience as you can have. It was worth the trip, and every penny. We are very grateful for Dr. Sommers and his team. We look forward to sharing our news when we are expecting! Thank you Dr. Sommers!

This is Dave's wife, I just wanted to tell our review. We drove 5 hours to this doctor because we liked the fact that Dr. Sommers has had a reversal himself so he understands the importance of performing this for other families. We also felt a connection soon after being on his website knowing he has God in his life, we felt he had compassion vs just a job. I love the price, which at first i was weary, now that we got it done I am so happy we didn't spend an extra 5-7K for a little nap. Dave was very comfortable throughout the procedure, he kept saying that Dr. Sommers made sure he was completely numb and comfortable every couple minutes. Dr. Sommers did a great job over all! We had this done Aug 19, 2013 so we are just now starting to try! Wish us luck!
