Chapel Hill Surgeon Completes First Tubal Reversal Fellowship

Dr. Gary S. Berger, tubal reversal surgeon presents the certificate of completion of tubal reversal fellowship to Dr. Charles W. Monteith

CHAPEL HILL – Dr. Charles W. Monteith completed the first tubal reversal fellowship offered at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center. This is the only known fellowship of its kind.

Dr. Gary S. Berger, medical director and world-renowned tubal reversal surgeon, presented the certificate of completion in a private ceremony at the Chapel Hill center.

Monteith began his fellowship training in January 2008, and has assisted in more than 100 tubal reversal procedures under the guidance of Dr. Berger.

“Dr. Monteith’s experience as a gynecologic surgeon and his dedication to achieving the best patient care made him the ideal physician to complete this fellowship program,” said Berger. “He is the first doctor ever to be certified in outpatient tubal ligation reversal surgery. And I welcome him as a colleague at the Tubal Reversal Center.”

As a tubal reversal specialist, Monteith plans to keep tubal reversal surgery a viable option for women wanting to have another baby after tubal ligation surgery.

“I am very fortunate to have been invited into and accepted by the staff and family of Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center,” Monteith said. “I feel like I have arrived home.”

Dr. Monteith graduated summa cum laude from Xavier University in Louisiana. He attended medical school at the University of California at San Francisco where he received a Howard Hughes Medical Research Fellowship used to conduct research in molecular genetics.

After completing his residency in obstetrics and gynecology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, he accepted a clinical assistant professor position with the department of obstetrics and gynecology in 2001. He also served as assistant professor in obstetrics and gynecology at Wake Medical Hospital in Raleigh for seven years where he practiced high-risk obstetrics and advanced surgical gynecology.

Jennifer

Posted by Chloe Grace (Member # 12746) on July 31, 2008 02:44 PM:
I'm still thinking about it. It's very overwhelming, I don't like any aspect of having surgery. It's a big step to take. I've thought about it for a few months. IVF is so expensive and I'd rather get pregnant naturally if possible.

Posted by hopefulin2008 (Member # 11297) on July 31, 2008 02:54 PM:
Oh yeah I agree. Well if you do decide to go with a tubal reversal surgery you most def have cometo the right place. GL to you.
Jennifer

Posted by Tawnee1972 (Member # 11007) on July 31, 2008 03:32 PM:
Chloe,
I had surgery with Dr. M on 7/21/2008. It was a wonderful experience. Dr. Monteith is very soft spoken, sweet, with a sense of humor.
He was wonderful!
Tonya

Posted by Chloe Grace (Member # 12746) on July 31, 2008 04:41 PM:
Tonya - Thanks for your encouraging comments. I hope you are recovering well.
Jennifer - Thank you for the kind words. I do feel like this is the best place to go. I've looked at other websites and nothing compares to Chapel Hill.

Posted by beebeekinsers (Member # 12115) on July 31, 2008 04:42 PM:
I had my TR done by Dr. Monteith on 7/24. In my opinion, he was a very gentle and caring person.
There is a new blog by Dr. M, and you can also read comments to the blog. Go to the homepage, and find the Blog tab from the list on the left.
I think Dr. Montieth did a fine job with my surgery, and I am healing up just fine. All in all it was a great experience.
GL, HTH

Posted by Chloe Grace (Member # 12746) on July 31, 2008 04:48 PM:
Thanks Louise! I will check out his blog. I'm glad to hear so many positive comments about Dr. Monteith. I like doctors who will take their time with me and show a compassionate side. I feel like Dr. Monteith does.

Posted by RebeccaJ (Member # 12216) on July 31, 2008 05:14 PM:
Chloe,
I am sure you will be very pleased with your decision if you choose to have Dr. Monteith perform your surgery.
I had my TR on July 28, 2008 by Dr. Monteith and was very pleased with the conversations I had before the surgery and after. He has a true passion for what he is doing and that is so important with this procedure.
I am healing quickly and feel very good about my results.
Good Luck
