We would just like to thank you for a successful reversal! The expected date will be April 30 with our calculations. This is something that we have been planning for years and you have made it possible. Thank you again.

PS. I have 2 other comments related to the procedure. Following the procedure, I have noticed a less restrictive urine flow and my hernia surgery area isn’t tender any more! Just wanted to let you know.

My husband, E. Hoeltge, was a patient of Dr. Friedman's this past Spring. He had his vasectomy reversed after 12.5 years. I just wanted to let you know that we have succeeded in getting pregnant! The baby is due February 21, 2008. Thank you so much!

Dear Dr. Friedman, You are probably wondering why you haven't received the results on R. Granger's 10 week post-surgery sperm count. The week we were to have the lab work done, we found out that we had already conceived!! We were secretly thinking it would be "no problem", but when it really wasn't a problem, we were so surprised, and thankful.

Thank you so much for the wonderful care and expert surgical skills.

PS. My OB said "I am impressed! Who was that urologist you saw?" we won't hesitate to pass on your name and praise.

This note is "Long" overdue! My family been through so many changes in the past 1.5 years it's been difficult to get caught up. Grace was born (Because of you) on December 2, 2004, we relocated from MA the year after so I apologize for not writing sooner.

What can we say but simply "Amazing"! Was born on December 2, 2004, Grace was conceived just 5 months after the reversal surgery which was performed on November 10, 2003. She has been just an absolute blessing to our family. Enclosed, please find a photo of Grace at 4 months of age... she is now 14 months old and running all over the place. She is getting "Tons" of love from her sister and 2 brothers and he has brought our family even closer together.

Your commitment and care during the procedure is an effort that professionally was admirable... and as a patient appreciated! I came with a unique situation having had the reversal procedure performed already by a surgeon who was committed, but did not utilize the technique and micro-cope you use. You explained o thoroughly to Mary and I the procedure and what to expect, but when the procedure began it was discovered I had serious blockage and it became a bit more complicated.

Your concentration, commitment and time are a reflection of not only the type of Doctor you are... but what type of human being you are. I recall during the procedure how you explained the procedure how you explained to me what was going on and what you were doing and I can't thank you enough for the "extra-effort" you performed on my particular case.

I am sure you are aware of what your name means... Emanuel (God is with us). He was truly with us during our discernment on what to do and He led us to you. God is also with you... He has blessed you with a "Life Giving" ministry and you are using the gifts that He gave you to heal people. Thank you...thank you...thank you! May God continue to bless you, your boys, your wife and your work!

Joey is almost 2 1/2 years old. My wife & I will NEVER be able to thank you for all you did for our family. I honestly feel if it were not for you, we would not have our baby boy. We think of you every day. Your skill, honesty, abilty to explain the procedure so that anyone could understand it are truly amazing. We as a family, are forever grateful to you for making possible our son joey.
