James Alonzo, MD
I get excited introducing patients to Essure. When I tell them it is permanent, hormone free, requires only local anesthesia with possible mild sedation, doesn't require general anesthesia or incisions, takes about ten minutes to perform, is virtually pain free and they can return to work the next day, they become as excited as I am and are delighted to have this option.
Christian Pope, MD
My patients are more than pleased with the Essure procedure and I have had excellent results. The Essure procedure allows women to have a permanent birth control procedure performed quickly and effectively so they can get back to their usual activities.
Don Snyder, MD
I have done very few post-partum tubal ligations since I started performing Essure in the office. Patients would much rather have increased safety, reduced pain, avoidance of a incision (not to mention better efficacy) over the perceived convenience of 'getting it over with while you are in the hospital'.
Barbara Levy, MD
We finally have a technique for women that is comparable in simplicity, accessibility and safety to vasectomy in men. Although the complications of surgical tubal ligation are uncommon, when they occur they may be life threatening. The rare deaths associated with tubal ligation were unacceptable in my mind.
Brian Levitt, MD
I have found patients love the advantages of the 'virtually non-invasive' Essure procedure. Gone are patient complaints of post-operative pain. Essure is attractive to women who may have been avoiding LTL or whose partner is contemplating (and contemplating...) vasectomy.
