Dr. Schrepferman - Vasectomy Reversal Specialist
Why Choose Dr. Shep?
- Fellowship training – Dr. Schrepferman spent a full year after residency learning precise microsurgical technique and performing microsurgical vasectomy reversals every day, including the challenging vasoepididymostomy procedure. This type of skill development and experience cannot be achieved by weekend courses or self-help reviews and is critical to achieving high success rates. He is one of a handful of fellowship-trained urologic microsurgeons in the United States and the only one in the state of Kentucky.
- Dedicated microsurgery team – Dr. Schrepferman utilizes the same operating room, same anesthesiologists, and the same microsurgical nurses for every vasectomy reversal he performs, ensuring reproducible and consistently high success rates.
- Dedicated office staff – A specialized team of employees is available to assist reversal patients with any needs they may have. This team is headed by Laurel Springfield, Male Fertility Coordinator, whose friendly and helpful approach is a wonderful resource for patients, whether to answer simple scheduling questions, to assist out-of-town and out-of-state patients with hotel arrangements, or to schedule a complimentary evening consultation.
- Low cost – Dr. Schrepferman's all-inclusive fee covers costs for the hospital, the anesthesiologist, and all services through his office, including a complimentary consultation and all follow-up visits. There are never additional fees from his office. In fact, the costs are so low that many patients travel here from other metropolitan centers and still spend less than they would have closer to home.
- Easy access – The central geographic location of Louisville allows easy travel from all parts of the U.S. by car or plane. The easily accessible Louisville International Airport (SDF) and 3 major interstates (I-65, I-71 and I-64) are in the immediate vicinity of Dr. Shep's office and the microsurgical center at Jewish Hospital. All pre-operative and surgical care can be arranged with a single, coordinated visit.
- Sperm freezing – Retrieval and freezing of sperm is available if desired for no additional surgical charge, which can be used in the rare instance of surgical failure.
- On-call services – 24-hour on-call services, including weekends and holidays, are available to all patients by calling the office.
