Permanent Birth Control? Thank Goodness!

A patient actually said that to me. Then she asked, "How do I sign up?" She did and we completed her Essure procedure in the office a week later. Essure is a non-surgical, hormone free alternative to a tubal ligation. It is a perfect choice for many women who want permanent birth control.

In the past when a woman was ready for permanent birth control she usually went for the tubal ligation. Now for the cost of a co-pay and without making an incision or being admitted to the hospital a woman can have this procedure done in the office, quickly and with minimum discomfort. Please read on to learn more.

Is Essure for You? 

Permanent Means Permanent!

Essure is not for everyone. It is a great idea for you if you are sure that you no longer want to have children.

This procedure is not, repeat, not, reversible. This is not like a tubal ligation (tube tie) which, in some cases, can be reversed.

The Best Way to Spend 15 Minutes 

In-Office Procedure Meets the Need for Permanent Birth Control

The actual Essure procedure takes around 15 minutes. Yes, really only fifteen minutes. In most cases it takes less time than that but I would rather under promise and over deliver.

The process involves inserting a small, soft, flexible coil(about the size of a matchstick) into the fallopian tube. The coil causes natural tissue to grow. This growth forms a barrier that blocks the tubes permanently. The entire visit takes less than one hour.

What Makes Essure a Good Idea? 

Convenience and Confidence

Birth control is an ever present concern for every month of a woman's child bearing years. When the decision is made to opt for a permanent birth control method - convenience and confidence top the list. Essure provides both.

* No puncturing, cutting or burning
* Confirmation testing after 90 days
* Hormone Free - Essure does not contain hormones
* No general anesthesia required
* Rapid Recovery - normal activities within 1-3 days
* Performed in the office
* Most insurance plans accepted

Safe and FDA Approved 

Zero Pregnancies in Clinical Trials

The official statement on effectiveness for Essure is 99.80% at preventing pregnancy, based on four years of clinical data. Tens of thousands of women worldwide have had the procedure since it was approved by the FDA.

The website states that the Essure procedure is the first and only FDA approved female sterilization procedure to have zero pregnancies in the clinical trials. That is excellent news for women who want to be confident that this procedure does what it is suppose to do.

Quality Care & Patient Satisfaction 

How Are We Doing?

In my practice we improve and prolong the lives of women through access to superb care and education. You might rightly ask if this is one of those "wall" missions that have no real teeth but just hang on the wall. I hope you do ask because we have spent a lot of time and energy focusing on providing the best care possible.

Last year we went to Electronic Medical Records so your health information is not left on a shelf but available to me 24 hours a day. We also measure quality in over 20 patient care areas and survey patients for both satisfaction and suggestions on how we can improve. So yes, please ask us about how we are living our mission.
