Dr. McHugh specializes in microscopic vasectomy reversal. He is one of the Southeast’s most experienced microscopic vasectomy reversal urologists. He utilizes a Zeiss operating microscope with microscopic instruments and sutures.
Vasectomy reversals are performed in his practice owned and accredited urological surgery center with anesthesia provided by board certified anesthesiologists. Over 500 microscopic vasectomy reversals have been performed in our surgery center since 2008.
Using an operating microscope, suture the size of hair (9-0 Nylon) is used to align the lumen of the vas tubes. Dr. McHugh uses the Modified Two-Layer technique. The first layer joins both the outside of the vas and the lumen (the channel that carries the sperm).
The second layer joins the outside of each of the vas tubes. This method provides for both the proper alignment of the lumen as well as support of the repair ensuring a tension free anastomosis.
Studies have shown that this technique has similar success rates as other methods which take longer to perform and can incur a greater expense. A total of 12-14 sutures are placed on each side and as a result the procedure generally lasts two hours. The entire time spent at our facility is usually around 3 hours.

Dr. McHugh is a pro. He knows his craft well. Everyone at his office was so professional. Everything was straightforward with no hassle. The vasectomy surgery was a snap (pun intended). And actually almost no pain or complication. I had a hernia surgery two years ago that was so much worse. Didn't post pictures for obvious reasons.
Can't recommend him more.

We are thankful we found Dr McHugh when we did to do my husband’s vasectomy reversal. He is a wonderful doctor and Nurse Lacey was such a blessing. It’s obvious Dr McHugh is experienced, loves his family, and wants to give other families their best chance.
I wish it wasn’t so hard to find a good doctor to help bring a life into the world and I feel sad for those who have had to go through what I have to find one.

I cannot recommend Dr. McHugh and his team highly enough. From the moment I checked in to the moment I walked out the door, the entire process was seamless and professional.
The customer service was incredible; the administrative staff made the paperwork easy, and the nurses were absolutely fantastic—personable, reassuring, and clearly experts at what they do.
Dr. McHugh himself was phenomenal. He talked me through the steps, and the procedure was over in a surprisingly short amount of time. I felt zero stress throughout the visit. If you’re considering this procedure, this is the place to go. I’m extremely grateful for the top-tier care I received! -TM

Dr McHugh and his staff did an amazing job with me and my wife during my reversal. They treated us so well from the beginning to the end. We went to Dr. McHugh because he was the most experienced and happens to be 5 hours away. I’m day 4 right now and am doing well. I will update if the surgery was successful. If the Lord allows we may have another baby. Also, I love the fact that if I have questions I can ask the Dr himself or his lovely staff.

Vasectomies and Vasectomy Reversals performed by Dr. McHugh since 2020!
Vasectomy Reversal : Helping couples with the precious addition to their family.
Anderson SC Vasectomy Reversal Specialist : Dr. McHugh specializes in microscopic vasectomy reversal. He is one of the Southeast’s most experienced microscopic vasectomy reversal urologists. He utilizes a Zeiss operating microscope with microscopic instruments and sutures.
Anderson SC Vasectomy Reversal Specialist
Vasectomy reversals are performed in his practice owned and accredited urological surgery center with anesthesia provided by board certified anesthesiologists.
Hundreds of microscopic vasectomy reversals have been performed in our surgery center since 2008.
This state licensed facility is accredited by the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities, Inc. and is equipped to perform microscopic vasectomy reversals with general anesthesia.
Since one of the largest impediments to the couple desiring a vasectomy reversal is cost, having our own facility both streamlines the process and minimizes our all-inclusive fee. Not having to go to a hospital makes the procedure more efficient for the patient and makes the procedure more cost effective and affordable.
The vasectomy reversal patient can take comfort in knowing that the urologist and the anesthesiologist are board certified physicians.
In addition, the procedure is performed with microscopic instrumentation in an accredited facility on a weekly basis.
Because a vasectomy reversal is usually not covered by insurance, the patient customarily pays an all inclusive fee to the surgeon. This fee covers all of the components of having the reversal procedure such as:
The fee of the surgeon to perform the reversal.
The facility fee which includes the cost of the nurses and staffing, the facility (operating room), suture materials, the operating microscope, the anesthesiologist and the anesthesia supplies necessary to put a patient to sleep.
The cost of overnight accommodations (if necessary).
At Northeast Georgia Urological Associates our facility is accredited and owned by our practice which in turn allows our all inclusive fee to be much less expensive than if a hospital were used. Dr. McHugh and our anesthesiologists are board certified.
The all inclusive cost for a microscopic vasectomy reversal at the Northeast Georgia Ambulatory Surgery Center includes board certified anesthesia.
Call 770.535.0000 or email: jmchugh@gavasectomyreversal.com for more information or to schedule a free consultation.
CareCredit is an option for couples preferring to pay over time with a medical credit card.
Vasectomy Reversal Factors for Success
After inquiring about cost, the most common question the couple seeking information about a vasectomy reversal is, “What is the success rate?”
The three factors that have the most important impact on the success of a vasectomy reversal are:
The number of years since the vasectomy was performed, the skill and experience of the surgeon, and the findings at the time of surgery (the quality of the fluid).
These factors will be discussed in detail at the time of your free phone consultation.
Vasectomy Reversal Success Rates:
Less than 3 years Patency 97% Pregnancy 76%
3-8 years Patency 88% Pregnancy 53%
9-14 years Patency 79% Pregnancy 44%
Greater than 15 years Patency 71% Pregnancy 30%
Belker AM, et al. Results of 1,469 microsurgical vasectomy reversals by the Vasovasostomy Study Group. Journal of Urology 1991; 145(3):505-11.
So you see the answer to the question, “What is the success rate?” is a complicated one. If the male after a vasectomy reversal has sperm in his ejaculate, that does not necessarily mean that the couple will achieve pregnancy. The time it takes for sperm to regain its former motility and number varies as well.
Then of course as a backdrop to all of these issues are the normal impediments to pregnancy that all couples face. This is why in the chart above, you see the disparity between the presence of sperm in the ejaculate (patency) and having enough sperm to achieve pregnancy.
Using an operating microscope, suture the size of hair (9-0 Nylon) is used to align the lumen of the vas tubes. Dr. McHugh uses the Modified Two-Layer technique. The first layer joins both the outside of the vas and the lumen (the channel that carries the sperm).
The second layer joins the outside of each of the vas tubes. This method provides for both the proper alignment of the lumen as well as support of the repair ensuring a tension free anastomosis.
Studies have shown that this technique has similar success rates as other methods which take longer to perform and can incur a greater expense. A total of 14-16 microscopic sutures are placed on each side. The procedure generally lasts two hours. The entire time spent at our facility is usually around 3 hours.
“Dr. McHugh is incredible. Wonderfully personable and terrific bedside manner. Made me feel comfortable through the entire process while maintaining the highest form of professionalism. Highly recommend!” JS
The vast majority of our patients are from outside of the Gainesville area. For patients requiring an overnight stay, accommodations at one of Gainesville’s hotels are included in our all inclusive price.

“Mission Accomplished!”
About 2 years ago, my wife went on a girls trip / book club retreat…only to come back with the idea of a vasectomy reversal. Which, you completed promptly.
As of yesterday – mission accomplished!
Success…A Second Time!
Good afternoon!
I know it’s been a couple years, but my husband and I wanted to let you know that God gave us another little blessing and we are so grateful to you for the wonderful job you did on my husband’s reversal in 2022. Here are a couple pics of our sweet lil boy, Hawk David Boaz Hazen… born on December 30, 2024. He was 7 lbs., 29 inches long and a beautiful, healthy blessing! We are so grateful for your helping us finish our family.
With gratitude,

Thank you!
I had my vasectomy reversal in February 2018 and my wife got pregnant in May 2018, only 3 months later! The service and attention received before, during and after the procedure was excellent. The team was very warm and super easy to work with.
My wife and I are happy to announce that we are now expecting in March of 2020. This wouldn’t be possible without Dr. McHugh and his amazing staff! Thank y’all!
We are happy to report that we are pregnant! Thank you to all of you who participated in our care, especially Dr. McHugh. We are so pleased and excited.
With time, prayers and of course a great surgeon we now have a healthy baby boy! Thank you!
Twice as Nice!
My husband asked questions ahead of time and from friends that previously had the procedure. He felt confident going in and completely comfortable during the procedure. Highly recommend them.
Dr. McHugh is the one you should see. We HIGHLY recommend him! Thank you so much again to him and all of his staff. INCREDIBLE!
Pretty in Pink
Another happy reversal result!

Vasectomies and reversals performed by Dr. McHugh since 2020!
Blairsville Ga Vasectomy Reversal Cost | The sweet spot: Physician owned and accredited facility, best all inclusive price and experience.
Blairsville Ga Vasectomy Reversal Cost | Helping couples achieve a precious addition to their family.
A microscopic vasectomy reversal is not covered by insurance, as a result prices can vary dramatically. Certainly the experience and skill of the surgeon is important and has a value, however the price is often influenced significantly by where the procedure is performed and the type of anesthesia utilized. Let me explain.
“The cost of vasectomy reversal depends in large part on the location where the procedure is done and on the type of anesthesia given.“
Lowest cost vasectomy reversal scenario: Non accredited facility/Local anesthesia.
In this scenario of a vasectomy reversal, the surgeon, regardless of the degree of experience, uses an office setting outfitted for surgical procedures. Magnifying glasses called Loupes or an operating microscope are utilized. The anesthesia is oral medications, and local anesthesia. The patient is awake and aware.
The facility is not accredited for general anesthesia. Not having to pay the fees associated with having an accredited facility equipped for general anesthesia or a certified anesthesiologist allows the procedure to be done at the lowest cost.
Middle cost vasectomy reversal scenario: Non accredited facility/Conscious sedation.
Here again the procedure is performed as above in an upgraded office setting and conscious sedation is given for pain control. As a result this aids in keeping the patient still. A pre-procedure oral medication is given, local anesthesia is used (Lidocaine to the scrotal and vas deferns) and I.V. medicine complements the anesthesia.
The patient is not having general anesthesia and can respond to questions, as a result the facility does not have to have general anesthesia accreditation. (If the I.V. sedation is given by a certified anesthesiologist (M.D. or C.N.R.A.) this improves the safety of the 2-3 hour procedure but then adds to the cost. I.V. medicines requires monitoring, ideally administered by an anesthesiologist. The supplies and medications used adds to the cost.
Middle cost (Sweet Spot) vasectomy reversal scenario: Accredited and Practiced owned surgery center/ Conscious sedation or General anesthesia.
This is the scenario at Northeast Georgia Urological Associates. The best of all scenarios. Why? The facility is state licensed and accredited for conscious sedation or general anesthesia. The facility is practice owned and on site. (You don’t have to go to a hospital or a ambulatory surgery center at another site and with equipment and staff that the surgeon can’t control.)
The safety and surgical options are dramatically better than the “outfitted office” setting, and the cost is dramatically less than a hospital. This scenario is the best of both worlds in providing a hospital level oversight while keeping the all inclusive acceptable.
Highest cost vasectomy reversal scenario: An operating room in a hospital is used.
If the vasectomy reversal doctor is affiliated with a hospital and performs the procedure there, the expenses go up dramatically. The fees are often times are more about paying the hospital than for the expertise of the physician performing the reversal.
If the doctor doesn’t do reversals often and you are paying more for the facility in which it is performed, as a result you lose two ways. You are paying for a more expensive location and for the less experienced reversal physician.
The GA Vasectomy Reversal Sweet Spot?
Board Certified Urologist
Reversal Experience (Hundreds performed)
On site, Accredited/State licensed and Physician owned facility.
Middle cost scenario/Accredited facility owned by the reversal urologist:This is our scenario. Our facility is accredited by the State and AAAASF. As a result, we are licensed to provide general an)esthesia and are yearly evaluated by the accrediting agency to assure safety and all of the oversight you’d expect from a hospital. Our facility has a generator, special heating and air, a recovery room, certified anesthesia and registered nurses. This comes with an expense to our practice but allows accredited care. We are in the what I like to refer to as the “sweet spot.” The patient has the benefits of a hospital, but not the costs. As well, there is the convenience of having your procedure in a facility that is on site and I own. (The instrumentation, the nurses, the operating room is geared for reversals. This is opposed to having to be scheduled for your surgery at an off site surgery center with instrumentation and nurses, over which the physician has no control.)
About 2 years ago, my wife went on a girls trip / book club retreat…only to come back with the idea of a vasectomy reversal. Which, you completed promptly.
As of yesterday – mission accomplished!
Success…A Second Time!
Good afternoon!
I know it’s been a couple years, but my husband and I wanted to let you know that God gave us another little blessing and we are so grateful to you for the wonderful job you did on my husband’s reversal in 2022. Here are a couple pics of our sweet lil boy, Hawk David Boaz Hazen… born on December 30, 2024. He was 7 lbs., 29 inches long and a beautiful, healthy blessing! We are so grateful for your helping us finish our family.
With gratitude,
Jared and Candace

Kalani was born December 31, 2022 at home under the care of a midwife and nurse at 8:11 pm. It was magical as the fireworks from the New Years celebrations exploded outside along the Florida coastline on a foggy sort of mystical night. Our boys are so in love with their baby sister!

Thank you so much for my husband’s successful reversal that you performed in October 2021. We found out we were expecting in the beginning of January and our son was born on September 7th.
Jen and Kristafur
Thankful for Dr. McHugh’s talent and the whole experience!
Dr. McHugh is very thorough and answered any questions we had prior to surgery. His team was very kind and thorough post surgery as well, following up via phone and email to be sure my husband had the best recovery he could. Our chances for conceiving were less than 50% and we just had our daughter a month before the one year mark from surgery. Leanna T. September 2022

Blessing after ten year successful vasectomy reversal!
I appreciate everyone’s friendliness and kindness during the multiple office visits and surgery center procedure. Thank you for the good care you gave me!

Even after a miscarriage, with time, prayers and of course a great surgeon we now have a healthy 7lbs 2oz baby boy! Thank you.
After extensive research, we found that the technique performed by Dr. McHugh was the best fit for us. It was the least invasive, and offered the fastest recovery. Dr. McHugh & his team delivered a high caliber of service & comfort for me, & I am extremely thankful for his practice.
Naomi was born just 12 months after having my surgery, & we couldn’t be happier with our newest addition!

Thank you!
I had my vasectomy reversal in February 2018 and my wife got pregnant in May 2018, only 3 months later! The service and attention received before, during and after the procedure was excellent. The team was very warm and super easy to work with.
My wife and I are happy to announce that we are now expecting in March of 2020. This wouldn’t be possible without Dr. McHugh and his amazing staff! Thank y’all!
We are happy to report that we are pregnant! Thank you to all of you who participated in our care, especially Dr. McHugh. We are so pleased and excited.
With time, prayers and of course a great surgeon we now have a healthy baby boy! Thank you!
Twice as Nice!
My husband asked questions ahead of time and from friends that previously had the procedure. He felt confident going in and completely comfortable during the procedure. Highly recommend them.
Dr. McHugh is the one you should see. We HIGHLY recommend him! Thank you so much again to him and all of his staff. INCREDIBLE!
Date of Vasectomy Reversal by Dr. McHugh – May 2021
Date of post reversal semen analysis- December 2021
Number of sperm seen-98 million
Number of sperm necessary for pregnancy-20 million
Motility-65%
Assessment-A good start!
The road to a successful pregnancy after a vasectomy reversal is convoluted journey. The above semen analysis is a wonderful start and confirms that the procedure was successful and that the patient’s testicles adapted to being obstructed for the 11 years. Now the normal impediments to pregnancy common to all couples becomes a factor. Considering all the factors, this is very favorable in culminating in a successful pregnancy. We wish the couple a happy outcome and appreciate the opportunity in participating by way of a microscopic vasectomy reversal.
The Lewis and Clark expedition took 2 years, 4 months and ten days, but it should not take you that long to figure out where you should have your vasectomy or microscopic vasectomy done.
Board certified anesthesia, board certified urologist, practice owned accredited urological surgery center and over 30 years of experience are all good reasons help you “Discover” your urologist.
Bullet points/instructions for the post vasectomy reversal operative period:
You can shower but for the first two to three days, don’t let water hit the operative site directly.
A thin layer of Neosporin over the suture sites daily is recommended.
A formal dressing is not required but one 4×4 gauze between underwear and the sutures may be more comfortable.
The sutures dissolve-but not all at the same time. Some separation of the skin in areas is not uncommon and resolves.
The feeling of a “lump” under the skin above either testicle is not uncommon, this is where the body is reacting to the surgical procedure. (It is not uncommon to have this on one side but not the other.)
Compression underwear for three weeks. (This is preferred to the traditional “jock strap.”)
No sexual activity for three weeks. Slowly returning to your normal exercise at that time can resume as well.
The more you can be off your feet the first week following the procedure the less swelling you will have. Some bruising of the skin around the suture sites is common.
Patients can walk and even drive if necessary after 5 days if wearing compression underwear and being careful. Again, the more you are off your feet the better.
The testicles begin producing normal sperm again in 4-6 months, depending on the length of time from the vasectomy. (The longer the interval from the vasectomy, the slower return to sperm production.)
If you desire to have an evaluation of a semen specimen to check for the presence of sperm, one would wait until the 4-6 month period after the reversal. The presence of sperm is a very good sign, however it is not unusual for a longer interval is required for the return of sperm. A specimen can be given to our office and can be quickly evaluated for the presence of sperm. If a formal semen analysis is desired which provides an actual count of sperm, an order can be placed to your local hospital negating having to travel to Gainesville.
If pregnancy occurs, it is usually in the 6-18 month time frame.
If pregnancy occurs…we’d appreciate a picture.
Finally…we appreciate the opportunity to participate in your care.
